I'll tell you about my experience powering the Shinobi II via USB-C, since the device didn't perform as I expected. Because my camera remains stationary a majority of the time, my use case would benefit from supplying power to the monitor via a power supply rather than using a battery. I imagined said power supply would connect over USB-C, but I haven't found that to be possible yet.
The instruction manual is very limited, stating that 10w is needed. The reps at Atomos support would only state this 10w figure. They avoided acknowledging my questions about what voltage a power supply would need to be at when delivering those 10w, but they did point me to purchasing Atomos's AC adapter kit. I agree that's an option, but I already have so many quality power supplies. I'm also allergic to proprietary hardware.
I tried using two quality power supplies first, namely a 12v/2A (24w max output) and a 5v/2.5A (12.5w max output), both with USB-C terminations. (I also had 9v and 15v options capable of >10W, but I didn't try them after the first two power supplies didn't work.) I was surprised when these options didn't work.
I then tried powering the monitor directly from the Macbook. That didn't work either. Between attempts, I was swapping in the battery supplied with the Shinobi to make sure the unit itself worked. At this point, I thought my unit might be defective.
The last USB-C option I tried was a Power Bank from Ugreen. It worked. From my limited use so far, I believe the voltage varies throughout use. On the Shinobi screen, under the battery tab, I see the voltage at 11.8v, right now.
In sum, it's not obvious to me what USB-C power options will and won't work with the Shinobi, but those option seem limited. I like my gear to be as device-agnostic as possible, especially when I travel so that I can carry fewer things. I think a statement from Atomos about what will and won't power the Shinobi via USB-C would be worthwhile. To be fair, I may be using the Shinobi in a way that the manufacture didn't intend. Atomos's focus is likely on using the monitor to control the camera, which requires the USB cable to be plugged into the camera directly. Instead, I have the camera plugged into the the computer via USB (which is better for live streaming), and am left connecting the camera to the Shinobi via HDMI.

Product Description
New camera control and locking cables
-
Camera control
A much requested feature from original Shinobi users, camera control is now possible thanks to the addition of the USB-C connection.
Using specially designed on-screen sliders you can adjust white balance, lens aperture, shutter speed/angle and ISO. A red edge display indicates when the camera is recording internally, whether triggered by the camera or from the Shinobi II.
-
Cable lockin
Atomos has developed a unique and rugged locking ecosystem to maintain a secure grip on connected HDMI and USB-C cables and Shinobi II is supplied with a special bracket to facilitate this. With Atomos locking cables (purchased separately) it is the most robust capture cable system available today. Shinobi II is also fully compatible with standard, non-locking cables.
-
A monitor that packs a punch
SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE
With its stunning 5-inch, 10-bit HDR/SDR display, Shinobi II lets you see your images clearly, even in bright daylight. The 1500 nit screen features a special anti-reflective coating and anti-fingerprint technology.

Power via USB-C
I'll tell you about my experience powering the Shinobi II via USB-C, since the device didn't perform as I expected. Because my camera remains stationary a majority of the time, my use case would benefit from supplying power to the monitor via a power supply rather than using a battery. I imagined said power supply would connect over USB-C, but I haven't found that to be possible yet. The instruction manual is very limited, stating that 10w is needed. The reps at Atomos support would only state this 10w figure. They avoided acknowledging my questions about what voltage a power supply would need to be at when delivering those 10w, but they did point me to purchasing Atomos's AC adapter kit. I agree that's an option, but I already have so many quality power supplies. I'm also allergic to proprietary hardware. I tried using two quality power supplies first, namely a 12v/2A (24w max output) and a 5v/2.5A (12.5w max output), both with USB-C terminations. (I also had 9v and 15v options capable of >10W, but I didn't try them after the first two power supplies didn't work.) I was surprised when these options didn't work. I then tried powering the monitor directly from the Macbook. That didn't work either. Between attempts, I was swapping in the battery supplied with the Shinobi to make sure the unit itself worked. At this point, I thought my unit might be defective. The last USB-C option I tried was a Power Bank from Ugreen. It worked. From my limited use so far, I believe the voltage varies throughout use. On the Shinobi screen, under the battery tab, I see the voltage at 11.8v, right now. In sum, it's not obvious to me what USB-C power options will and won't work with the Shinobi, but those option seem limited. I like my gear to be as device-agnostic as possible, especially when I travel so that I can carry fewer things. I think a statement from Atomos about what will and won't power the Shinobi via USB-C would be worthwhile. To be fair, I may be using the Shinobi in a way that the manufacture didn't intend.
