Atomos just dropped the retail price of both the Shogun (to $1495) and Ninja Assassin (to $995): http://www.atomos.com/enewsletter/2016/feb/atomos_enewsletter_feb_2016.html

Course this comes on the heels of Convergent Design dropping the price of the Odyssey 7Q+ to $1795 (including 256GB SSD) last month. Not to mention the 7" Video Devices PIX-E7 which has recently started shipping at $1595.

Atomos probably felt they had to lower their prices to stay competitive.

Certainly is nice to have a lot of options for portable monitor recorders and to see them becoming more affordable as well.

Hi everybody! Is anyone also unable to connect a mic directly to their Shogun? I've tried everything until I was convinced that it had a broken Lemo-connector. But it just came back from their German service center with a new breakout cable. And I still can't get it to work. What could be going wrong here.

The setup is: Shogun, breakout XLR cable, Rode NTG-2 / RodeLink.

This is driving me mad...thanks! :)

Hi! Try diferent inputs on Shogun, mine works line (-40), be sure the micro is not muted, it's easy to press that button sometimes. Hope it helps
