I pre-ordered the Atomos Ninja V recorder to go with my GH5S. I noticed that Atomos is recommending there HDMI cables to guarantee no issues with 4k 60p. But there $90 and $150 for one HDMI cable.
Does anyone know how necessary there hdmi cables are? Is anyone having issues with the other Atomos Recorders at 4k 60p with non Atomos HDMI cables on the GH5 or GH5S? Any recommended HDMI cables brands that are not insanely expensive?
I do not mean $10 cheap. But $90 to $150 for a cable, that is way over priced. They'll break and get lost on shoots, all HDMI cables eventually do. I am trying to be cautious with money, I like to have multiple redundancies as back up for every gear item I own. But when a little item like that can cost me $150 every shoot because of camera crew losing them or breaking them I need to do my homework into ones that make logical economic sense. Reliability and cost effectiveness.
