By technical editor Matt Allard:
Atomos have announced a new range of add on accessories designed to make the 4K Shogun monitor recorder more durable and easier use in the field. The new accessories will be bundled together under the name Shogun Action Pack but they will also be available to purchase separately. It is good to see that Atomos have been listening to customer feedback and have come up with improvements and accessories that enhance the Shogun.
Shogun Action Pack Contains:
– Shogun Armor Case. A custom bumper which gives extra protection to the recorder/monitor from knocks and scratches.
– Matte LCD protection panel which reduces reflections, protects against scratches and diffuses light eliminating polarization.
– Lightweight and durable travel case. The perfect size for a camera bag in cases when you need to travel light.
– Custom fit Shogun sun hood (available in yellow or black) which maintains LCD clarity even in bright sunlight
Atomos are offering the $240 Action Pack for free to users who purchase and register the full accessory version of the Shogun during the month of June.
This from Atomos:
“One of the advantages of having sold over 15,000 Shogun units is that we have passionate end users telling us what they need” said Jeromy Young CEO of Atomos. “The Action Pack accessories are a direct result of Shogun users reaching out to tell us what they want, and of course we listen and act”
