Reddit mentions of Atomos Power Kit for Shogun Ninja Inferno & Flame

/u/video_work_throwaway - unless you really need another still camera, I would avoid DSLRs and mirrorless cameras at this budget level. As you know, they all lack video basics - e.g., pro XLR mic inputs, built-in ND filters and external video controls.

Most of them also lack dual card slots, power zoom rockers and unlimited recording times.

Instead, I recommend a large sensor, 4K/60p pro camcorder. Sadly, the C100 II is a 1080p camera - and the FS5 is limited to 30 frames per second at 4K.

Instead, I recommend a 4K/60p JVC LS300/Atomos Inferno kit.

Here's the price list for a one camera setup:

  Bottom Line
  
  Bundled with the Atomos Inferno recorder, the JVC LS300 is the least expensive 4K/60p large sensor, interchangeable lens pro camcorder you can buy. Higher resolution than the C100 Mark II - for a lot less money than the FS5.
  
  With built-in XLR inputs, there is no need for the cost or hassle of external sound recorders or preamps. With built-in ND filters, you can avoid costly matte boxes or the hassle of screw-on NDs. With a high quality Metabones adapter, the LS300 is compatible with a wide range of affordable Canon mount lenses.
  
  For less than $6K, this setup would be a very good value for the university's money.
  
  Hope this is helpful and good luck finding the right setup for your school's needs!
