They sold the Ninja V and the Ninja V+, two exactly identical devices, but the Ninja V has artificial limitations of what resolutions it allows you to process. Obviously, you have to pay extra to enable other codecs, 99$ each.
So already the worst of DRM imaginable, especially as the only way to remove the artificial limitations of the Ninja V is to throw it away, buy an entirely new Ninja V+, and buy all unlocks separately yet again. Oh, and if you try to resell any of your devices, Atomos wipes the unlocks and demands that the new owner buys them yet again.
So already the worst kind of DRM infested money-grabbing BS imaginable.
But no, they found a way to make it even worse. They just deprecated the Ninja V and V+ and announced the all new Ninja and Ninja Ultra. They're identical. Same battery runtime. Same resolution. Same weight. Same performance.
But now with the new and improved AtomOS 11 software. Can't install that on the Ninja V/V+. Only way to upgrade? Throw your Ninja V away and buy a new Ninja.
If I find a way to jailbreak these devices, I fucking will. God I hate them so much.
