  • 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 :)

Group Buy - Cinegears Ghost Eye Wireless

I can not get my 150m unit to cross convert. Anyone had any luck with that
 
Change the SDI port frequency (hz) output on your camera from 24hz to 60hz. That is, if you're trying to send a signal from the SDI on camera to an HDMI monitor.
 
Chris Mckechnie had very good feedback on Cinegears Ghost-Eye wireless video transmission kit, thanks for share your review

 
Was interested in a Teradek or Paralinx, but then I saw this.

For those who own the Ghost Eye 150m, a few questions

1) How are the Ghost Eye's holding up quality and reliability wise?
2) How is the customer service and repairs if anyone has had to send theirs in?
3) Do you guys recommend the system?

Thanks for any info!

I haven't had any issues with the 150M as it's been more reliable than Teradek...and just as reliable as Paralinx. I would personally recommend the 150M...it's been solid, as great range for the price, SDI/HDMI..cross conversion, etc. Love mine.
 
Also what's up Chris. Hope you're well. You find the the ghost eye is fast enough not to have any latency issues pulling focus? It says under 30 milliseconds, so IDK what that means exactly. Many units claim under 1 millisecond.

Yup as it's what I use for wireless SDI feeds out to various monitors.
 
1 frame at 24fps is about 40 milliseconds. you would have a hard time telling a delay of 30. But all these units, because they are uncompressed usually have no delay at all.
 
Hey Patrick, the receiver has integrated antenna and the transmitter has 2 external antenna. It's a pretty standard transmitter set up for transmission of this distance. The current new price for a kit with 150m receiver, transmitter, hard case and accessories is $1899, with free shipping. There are a lot of great videos on youtube to see the units in action. Plus if Chris gives his stamp of approval we're good to go. I hired him for a job in CA and he knows his stuff.

So far we have:

1)Patrick Wilcox 150m kit
2)Marcel M 150m kit
3)Patrick Tresch 150m kit (not yet confirmed)

Spread this around! I'm hoping to make a purchase asap. Thanks,
 
Just used my 150m version on a feature for about a month- worked fantastic

Let me reach out again...see if we can stir something up again for the 150M. I'll see if i can get you guys a discount.
 
If setting up a group buy on this product, I would highly recommend going with a different vendor than Cinegears. You can communicate with the actual manufacturer easily enough through alibaba or similar. Cine gears has some of the worst customer service ever. The fact that this unit works so well has nothing to do with cinegears, it's just a good unit. My 2 cents as an owner of the non rebranded version of this product and an ex cinegears customer.

I have the unbranded unit and absolutely love it. 150m version gets me about 2 1/2 NYC blocks line of site. It'll go through walls decently too. On one Sony NP 970, I get 5-6 hours per transmitter/receiver.

I've used them in the busiest of RF traffic NYC has to offer (Madison Square Garden) - no problems. Runs circles around a Bolt 300.

Anyway, I have 1TX and 3 RX, I'm in the market to buy another TX for those two camera days. Let me know if you're putting together a group buy and put me down for an extra TX
