Building on past success, the Master Caddy III has an improved form factor and maintains full compatibility with Atomos recording systems. It's a perfect fit for Shogun and Ninja V series monitors with the Atomos CONNECT accessory. Setting it up is a breeze: just insert your 2.5' SSD or HDD and secure it with the included screws. The caddy ensures proper connection to the SATA connectors, and protects your drive from static and physical damage. The 5 - pack is great for intensive shooting, eliminating workflow delays. The single unit is ideal for simpler projects or as a replacement. Key features include enhanced compatibility with Atomos CONNECT, a streamlined design, support for universal media, easy installation, flexible purchase options, wide device compatibility, drive protection, and it's a professional - grade solution. Technical specs show it comes in single or 5 - pack variants, with a 5 - pack model number of ATOMCAD113. It's made of durable plastic and uses a four - screw mounting system. The single unit package includes 1 caddy and 4 screws, while the 5 - pack has 5 caddies and 20 screws. It's specifically designed for Atomos monitor - recorders supporting removable media, especially with CONNECT series accessories. Atomos recommends SSDs for 4K recording, though it can hold 2.5' HDDs.
Using the Atomos Master Caddy III is super easy. First, take your preferred 2.5' SSD or HDD. Put it into the caddy and use the four included screws to secure it firmly. That's it, you're ready to start recording on your Atomos monitor - recorder. When it comes to choosing between the single unit and the 5 - pack, if you're just starting out, have a simple setup, or want to test how it works with your drives, go for the single unit. It's also great if you just need a replacement. For professional environments where you use multiple drives often, like in big productions or when working in a team, the 5 - pack is a better choice. It gives you spares and is more cost - effective. As for maintenance, keep the caddy in a clean and dry place. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any physical damage. Also, since it protects your drive from static, try to minimize static - prone situations. Remember, while the caddy can hold 2.5' HDDs, for 4K recording or in vibrating environments, it's best to use SSDs as recommended by Atomos.
