I've had mixed results too, got 2 x Mars 300 Pros and recently had the two sets working together for a multi cam stream and they were working fine until everyone entered the room and they both just stopped working at the moment I needed them! Sometimes they work fine though. Its the uncertainty that gives me the fear!
I’ve had both the Mars 4K and now the Pyro. With anything wireless you have to be making sure it’s not used for mission critical shots. For us, we’re using it mostly in graduations and commencements. But in an ideal scenario if you have to run that far, you should be graduating to Fiber cables. I rarely use a wireless transmitter to send a signal over a couple hundred feet, they’re always up high on c stands, and we’re never using them in busy wireless settings such as downtown in a city or in this video’s case, next to an airport. Everyone’s environment is going to be different so I can’t stress enough to test, have setup days prior to event days, have backups and eventually people need to suck it up and make a few purchases for higher end gear. I see this type of wireless as a stepping stone and not an always-used solution. It’s a lot more affordable than higher end wireless and it’s cheaper than going fiber but eventually you have to just work that into your budget and build on top of your foundation. It’s the same reason why I don’t use HDMI switchers anymore and moved up to SDI switchers. There’s a right tool for the job and so it’s important to have that discretion.
It's nice to know how far a system can receive a signal line of sight in an open setting with little other RF traffic, however, 99% of the time it's in an environment that is already congested with RF traffic from other venue/ event systems and during setup you scan and find the best channel to be on only to have the venue full of people with their wireless devices, then your best efforts are compromised. In saying all that. I've had the most success with the hollyland Cosmo 1200 (older unit) in a packed out 9000 seat theatre. We had too many issues with Teredek.
What in the heck are you doing. My image degrades at less than 3 feet. I zoomed into your image 8x and you are clean. If I zoom in 2x the image degrades.
Great review. My 400S pros from hollyland still work amazingly well too
I once went 700ft with a 400ft model... Hollyland makes some great stuff.
Under good circumstances I’m sure it’s possible.
The latency is not great. I would not use anything besides the Teradek Spark 4k. I've had one for over a year now and it's been fantastic!
Latency is always a concern. I’m typically only using wireless when necessary.
Dang zephan we are neighbors
Small world
❤❤❤ The transmitter has any delay???
A couple frames yes.
Zeph, I've had even the best of Hollyland transmitters fail on me just feet away, I've steered away from wireless whenever humanly possible.

@@AdamTroup out of curiosity, were they high up on stands above people’s heads? When these things say line of sight, they mean line of sight.
@@zephanmosesalso good to experiment with antennas - I've had great results at conferences, without line of sight, with circular polarised antennas.

@@BillAshtonNelo sounds like you could just be in an area that has a ton of interference? It’s hard to say. Have you tested it in multiple locations?
