Connect and power-up
Battery
Ninja V+ has a single battery slot. To connect a compatible
battery, place the battery in front of the retaining lug, align
with the connectors and slide the battery into the lock position.
We recommend using Atomos NP-F series batteries.
To connect the supplied Battery Eliminator, follow the
same procedure and lock battery into position. Once the
Battery Eliminator is in place, secure the supplied AC/DC
power supply to the DC jack. Alternatively, the Ninja V+
unit can be powered via a DTap power source using the
optional DTap battery cable (ATOMDTPCB1) which is
included with the Ninja V+ Pro Kit Version.
Touching the battery icon in the top right of your screen
will allow you to accurately see remaining battery life.
Refer to the User Manual for more information.
Expansion Port
The Ninja V+ features a built in Expansion Port that provides
added functionality when paired with the optional AtomX SDI
and AtomX SYNC Expansion Modules. (AtomX SDI Module
is included in the Ninja V+ Pro Kit).
