Connect and Power-Up

Battery

The Ninja V+ has a single battery slot. To connect a compatible battery, place it in front of the retaining lug, align with the connectors, and slide the battery into the lock position. Atomos NP-F series batteries are recommended.

To connect the supplied Battery Eliminator, follow the same procedure and lock it into position. Once the Battery Eliminator is in place, connect the supplied AC/DC power supply to the DC jack. Alternatively, the Ninja V+ 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 the screen displays the remaining battery life. Refer to the User Manual for more information.
