  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Cinegears New Ghost Eye 600M and 800T.Code Wireless Video Transmission Kits

Steven, wanted to let you know the 600 M performed wonderfully on my shoot last week.....I'm going to purchase a second unit tomorrow.
And thanks again for the tip on changing the frequency on the remote focus.
 
Received my 600m, seems to work great and the fan noise isn't very troublesome. I forgot to mention I was from Reduser, so did t receive the mushroom antennas. Is it too late to get them?
 
Sent several emails and messages over the past week to cinegear asking about compatibility of models and availability. Didn't receive a single response in any format. Zero acknowledgement. Not sure I want to buy anything from a company that can't communicate at even a basic level. Has anyone had issues with their units? Did you get any help resolving?
 
I own the Ghost-Eye 150 V.2 system and it works very well. However, I have encountered the same lack of response when contacting them via email. When I wanted to buy a 2nd receiver, the reply was immediate and delivered to my door the following day (they have a rep here in Vancouver). The same technology is available by other sellers (Vaxis, Ikan, Hollyland, Link-Mi...). But as for your question about compatibility between models, not sure.
 
I've only been successful reaching somebody at Cinegears by phone. Their phone system is buggy though. Asks you to enter "801" for sales, "802" for support, etc, but when you dial those numbers the automated system just repeats the menu. I think I had success by jamming the "0" key a few times to get to a person.

I contacted them twice:

1. Forgot to ask for the mushroom antennas as part of the Reduser buy. Was told they'll ship them out as soon as they resolve their supply issues.

2. Had an issue with Sony F55's 23.976 SDI signal being sent correctly by the 600M. It turns out that Sony is at fault in this case as they don't follow the SMPTE standard for this one framerate. Other companies have issued FW workarounds for this problem, but it doesn't sound like Cinegears will be addressing it. My PIX-E5 monitor and Gratical Eye have no problems with any of the signals coming out of the F55. I can use the HDMI output as as a workaround to get the signal to pass properly. Maybe when the HDMI signal is cross converted to SDI, it gets straightened out?

Try calling them, you'll get a response right away during business hours.

Is the 600 compatible with the other brands of the same form factor. I have an unbranded from a group buy, an Action Products 500 and a Vaxis 1200 that all speak to each others receivers. Will this do it?

Dan I too have the unbranded Vaxis/Hollyland 150m kit. It will not work with Cinegear. Tried to pair it with a CG Tx and failed. They're on a different setting.

Does anyone know what receiver to get that will link w the unbranded one from the group buy last year? - is that the Vaxis one? Looks just like the Goast Eye 150

Thanks

Definitely not the Ghost Eye 150m. Tried it. Doesn't pair. The guy who sold us this group buy has been pretty useless in terms of where to get extra TX/RX that'll match. I heard Vaxis will match.

I've got both 150M and 300M receivers and complete systems that I bought as extras in that group buy for sale.
Some are as new/unused.
Email me at:

The units from the unbranded GB of 1/2016 look identical to Vaxis and also to system now appearing on Ikan website, which they call the "Blitz BZ-1000"
 
Is this ok for focus pulling or is there too much of a delay?

Ask, is anyone else having problems with fan noise - would it be a problem for close ups in narrative?
