The GH7 is awesome just like pretty much all the cameras available today, but what I like about LUMIX cameras in general are all the features you get like Open Gate which make a huge difference especially in the world we live today where deliverables are in 16:9 and 9:16.
seems like a solid monitor but there are a few open questions.. whats the latency? would've been nice to see the latency hands waving in smooth mode, not only hq mode, what about cooling? how loud is the fan? resolution?
Latency is 0.06 I actually do wave hands in smooth mode you can see @2:19 I never noticed any fan noise at all, I did leave it in Auto and did film in 110 degree weather. To be honest wasn't even paying attention to it. Resolution on monitor is 1080P.
As I understand, its not compatible with 5 inch Mars M1 monitor? If its true it is a bummer, i waited this 7inch monitor just for that reason: keep the 5 inch monitor on-camera and 7 inch for client/director. Now we have 2 separate product lines incompatible with each other 😢
@@Siimkristjanpariis same for me.... I confirm that Pyro and Mars are not compatible. I feel really let down by the brand. Can not really trust it from now on.
Hollyland's ahead of the rest in wireless transmission. I'm sure they could release a zero latency Teradek killer but they're aiming at a lower price segment.
But they are not ahead...They are kinda behind both Accsoon only now releasing a dual band capable system and DJI running out in front with OccuSync in this lower tier. They also do have a zero latency system, have for years. It's their Cosmo 600 line that directly competes with Teradek and generally while better on set, haven't broken that professional preference for the name Teradek anymore than DJI are finding with their pro Transmission lineup has managed.
@@avx111 I work in distribution of camera gears and i can say it will be hard cause teradek holds multiple patents for zero latency transmission, so unless hollyland, or any other brand really, invents some ground breaking transmission protocol, it will be quite hard to beat
I have been excited to see this product in action for months now. Have you used it to receive the transmission from two separate transmitters yet? Is that something you'd find helpful?
Looks like a fantastic monitor. Does it record to the monitor in 4K as well? Also, I noticed there weren't batteries on the back of the monitor you were using. Can the monitor be powered by the HDMI connection? Thanks for the review!
It only records in 1080P the monitor can be powered by NPF batteries or DC input which is what I was using. They also sell a kit to make it V-Mount or Gold mount.
Yes, you can have up to 4 receivers to 1 transmitter, we did it on our No Good Legend shoot here: ua-cam.com/video/-J8H6LLCfik/v-deo.htmlsi=V3FW4j_BBkExlTKC
@@loudmotion5639 Yup but DJI isn't 4K and also doesn't have a monitor, 60ms vs 35 in all honesty we're splitting hairs. You can watch our film No Good Legend which is an action movie and myself and 2 other AC's didn't have any issues pulling focus, otherwise you'd see it in the film which it was tack sharp.
@@mondobytes I’ve been curious about the DJI’s 1080p vs Hollyland’s 4K. The DJI signal is 20Mb/s whereas the 4K from the Hollyland maxes out at 12 if memory serves. Seems like a higher bitrate 1080p signal could potentially outclass low bitrate 4K. It’s 4x the resolution at 60% of the bitrate
would be curious about its compatibility with the mars m1 - that way you could have a larger monitor for tripod, smaller for gimbal work, and then whatever you're not using could be used as a client monitor
@@brucegarrod no it’s all good! although it sucks I do absolutely love their stuff so I ended up just purchasing a pyro s transmitter and use the 7 as my focus pulling monitor. Sucks that I have 2 extra cables but this would be the same if I was using a teradeck, so it works 😅
@@intiltomorrowproductions Im going to keep things crossed that they can either do a firmware update to allow it, or release a 5 pyro or 7 m1 to sort this out. it's pretty strange that they've not included this cross-compatibility
@@brucegarrod I hope so to! I’d rather just stay in the ecosystem but if they dont update I feel like it’ll push people away. I don’t see why they can’t if they’re all running on 2.4/5
Really? I think the price is great! They never told me what the price was and I kept telling people that I thought it was going to be around $800. So when I found out today that it is $549 I was actually blown away. You can't buy a good 7" Monitor that can record internally at this price point. I feel the closest is the Atomos Shogun and that doesn't even have wireless transmission. If you think about it for a little over $1,000 you can buy 2 of these and have an onboard monitor that's actually REALLY good, a wireless transmission system and a directors monitor for viewing. I don't think anyone is doing anything remotely close to what Hollyland is doing and I be they're going to sell a ton of these.
I've used Portkeys monitors in the past and their UI is frustrating, I'm not sure if the HS8 is the same? I will say for the price and not because I made a video about Hollyland, but it's just a better value, especially with the wireless transceiver being built into it. I know I didn't dive too much into it but the Hollyland app works incredibly well! So even with just 1 monitor you can view the feed using a tablet like an iPad or any smartphone using the Hollyland app which even for filming yourself is clutch! Personally for $149 more I'd take the Hollyland, also it's brighter (slightly) you can record to the monitor, can be used for live streaming and the UI is phenomenal. The last thing and this is just by looking at photos of Portkeys but it seems really big and chunky, I know it's technically bigger because it's 8" but It looks chunkier, where the Hollyland is sleek and very lightweight.
@@mondobytes 8" is a size actually gives better view specially on large production sets it has 1100 Nitz of brightness and after all it's full anodized aluminum build like a tank and for the price it's good value atleast for now
@@mondobytes The Osee lilmon 5 is better than that Portkeys HS8. In fact, outside of the transmitter function of this Pyro 7, the Osee lilmon 5 is practically identical to the quality and features of this but at a fraction of the price of this. And the thing is, it's not like this is 2000 nits. At this price point, this is still 1200 nits. Which is not bad, but then Osee that I am talking about is 1000 nits already AND shockingly good feature set with incredibly good colour accuracy on screen.

Seeing that monitor in person was pretty sick. It''s definitely a good choice compared to something like the high bright monitor.
Been waiting for this product for so long! Thanks Armando!
Such a capable system! I love using mine! Great video Armando
This monitor looks great! Thanks for the video.
It really is! BTW Thanks for stopping by. Everyone go subscribe to Epic Light Media 😉
These seem great. A great wireless monitor system that features GOOD monitors is a plus in my eyes. Will be grabbing these for sure.
Love this! Such a pleasure knowing you and love the education you are putting out there for the larger creative community. Keep it up! 👍
Another banger, great job Armando!
Great review! I like it also! Cheers!
Great video brother. Definitely gonna pick a couple of these up.
can those huge antennas be replaced with the capsule-like antennas of the mars m1? if yes, it would be sick!
Yup, you can change them out.
My man Armando, nice to see you as part of the "No good legend" crew. GH7 next on my list, how is the image quality
The GH7 is awesome just like pretty much all the cameras available today, but what I like about LUMIX cameras in general are all the features you get like Open Gate which make a huge difference especially in the world we live today where deliverables are in 16:9 and 9:16.
what about 2 cam each have pyro 7. does it do the job monitoring each other and also the same time use an extension monitor?
I would buy this if those antennas weren't so huge. Does the transmit mode work without the antennas? Do they make smaller ones like their Mars m1?
You can buy smaller Antennas, I'm sure it will work without them but if you need longer range it will probably suffer connection issues.

are you able to answer if both systems (pyro 7 & s) cross convert ie. hdmi in to pyro 7 sdi out of pyro 7 or s, or vice versa.
Can you do a review of this versus the mars M1 Enhanced

It will not.
