Monitor / Recorder for 5D Mark III

[thirtyfivefifty]

Mainly a stills photographer who enjoys making videos, but still waiting for a proper 4K-capable camera that fully interests me (no rush). In the mean time looking for a monitor+recorder that I guess would revive my 5D Mark III a bit.

Was interested in the Atomos Ninja Blade for its low price, monitoring tools (would be super helpful), and ability to record ProRes to SSD (don't want to buy CF/SD cards), but would it be worth putting down extra money for an Atomos Ninja Assassin (but I prefer 5"), or a Video Devices PIX-E5H (love!)?

Thanks!

Adding a recorder to the 5D will not raise the image quality.

You will still only be getting 8bit in new wrapper. I would call it wasting money.
If you really want to boost your 5D you'd get more from shoot ML raw... Although also more work and storage requirements

Have to agree. An external monitor is always nice to have in the kit. But going ML raw is the way to go if you want to breath new life into the Mk III.
