I think the standard kit only includes a P-tap cable for the TX, the RX is sent stock with an AC adapter only. I'd like to add an additional cable for the RX.

No worries. When you go through with each of your orders you'll have the option to add whatever extra cables and things you also want. Don't need to tell me about them, but you will communicate that with Teradek down the line. Personally, I actually do like to double up on cables just to have them in my kit. That's a thing I do for most of my gear.

Any chance they would add the new SmallHD Focus Bolt RX to this GB (http://store.smallhd.com/products/FOCUS-Bolt-RX-Monitor)? This would be a great director's monitor for those getting the 500 series transmitter..

Hi Barry, I've asked and not likely this time around. That also comes out later this year, end of October. IMO that's already price pretty darn low, so I don't know if there's true wiggle room there.

Hi Phil, please add to my order

Gotcha Peter. Updated.


Teradek is doing a lot here now. Just on the free case side of things alone for the TX + RX Sets and including a few cables. That's pretty crazy. For those looking for the best deals that's what it is IMO. Deluxe Kit gets you more and how to mount and rig the systems to various things, which is also very useful. If you look at my setup on the first post I like to use 1/4"-20 accessory quick releases to quickly rig. I have those on and off camera within 30 seconds and it's pretty rigid once there. Various companies make those. Matthews, Kupo, etc....

I think for anybody doing run and gun or just know they are going for an optimized rig, the DSMC2 Bolt is pretty great. We've seen it various tradeshows and it adds only a smidge of length to the rear of your camera.

Also for those not going with the 703 Bolt, Wooden Camera and others make various cages you can build around your external compact field monitors and transform them into Director's and Client Handheld Monitors. Not as sexy or as simple as the all in one solution, but you can certainly rig those however you see fit.
 
Phil do you thing that eta for shipping eould be shortly at the end of the gb?

If yes I want:

2x bolt 500 lt sdi + 2 rec
2x 500 lt sdi
3 x 703 bolt
1x sidekick lt

Thanks for the iniative.

Cheers from Sao Paulo
 
Hey Phil,

Sorry just wanted to clarify that I wanted to add 2x units of the DSMC2 Bolt 500 to my existing order of:

1x Bolt 500LT SDI RX/TX kit
1x Bolt 1000XT RX/TX Deluxe kit

Thanks again

Pete

I'll inquire about Sidekicks in the AM (it's 2:30PST and for whatever reason I'm up). Originally this was truly for just Bolts, but we've been able to positively work with Teradek to offer more of the kit people are after. Case in point, adding the 703 Bolt into the mix.
 
2 x 703 Bolt Gold kits
1 x Sidekick Gen 2 (if thats now an option)

Thanks Phil!
 
So I actualy bought into the Teradek system just 3 weeks ago with a 500 Bolt XT (TX+RX) and a 703 Bolt. I have already used on 3 shoots and it has performed flawlessly, rock solid! No fuss, no muss on set, it just works. I literally set it up once and it has never lost a connection. The 703 Bolt is a joy to look at, it's bright to a fault, exterior viewing is possible w/o a sun hood which is so nice. This system works so good, I'm not even upset I missed out on GB pricing.

I quickly looked for more info on the DSMC2 Bolt, but came up short. Can someone point me to some info? Phil. will there be more info released by Teradek on the DSMC Bolt prior to this GB ending?

I might also be interested in adding a sidekick to my kit.

And lastly, if it's not said enough on this forum... Thank you Phil for all that you contribute to this community!

Whoa this got interesting. I'm seriously considering a DSMC2 bolt module and a 703 Bolt. Couple questions though. Any chance of putting those together as a kit? I kinda need to know more about the DSMC2 module. Any physical incompatibity with the Base IO, Jetpack or any other 3rd party expanders? Does it use the HDMI/Side Pogo monitoring path? Meaning, can one use a DSMC2 EVF w/mount pack at the same time, or does the module provide another LCD/EVF port? (I think there was mention of that with the earlier designs)
 
I had those exact same questions. Especially for the V mount adaptor

Alrighty then, chatted with Teradek and the good news is Sidekicks are now a part of this Group Buy. Check the first post on the pricing and versions.

To answer some Qs.

Yes, it is now about of this Group Buy in form of a Pre-Order. Take a look at the first post. It will be released Q4 2018/Q1 2019. Somewhere in there.

Thanks Gregg, I 100% agree on the 703 Bolt btw. Really nice quality screen that just works within the system. And thank you for the kind words. Very much appreciated after last week!

DSMC2 Bolt info. Comes in 500, 1000, and 3000 flavors. Hard specs are about to be announced in October, it even being a part of this GB is nuts as it's ahead of the official announcement. I do believe you lose the Side Pogo on DSMC2 with the module attached and there might be a very good reason for that actually. I've seen like 3 versions over the last two years of prototypes at various trade shows. I'm real curious what the final feature set is.

Don't know what you'd get out of a kit deal with the 703 Bolt and DSMC2 Bolt, I mean there's no cables at that point :) Down the line once it's shipping I'm sure they'll make kits, but I wouldn't expect additional cost savings. Especially since this GB is giving 20% already.

Module compatibility, I've seen the unit running on the Base IO Expander and a few OMOD related things. RED is VERY MUCH involved with the development of this one, it should end up being a proper RED approved 3rd Party Accessory.
 
I'm considering the following purchase - will these work together, if yes put me down

3000XT Transmitter + Receiver x1 with dual gold mounts
1000XT Receiver x 1
Sidekick LT Receiver x 1
703 Bolt x 1

Hey Dan,

The 3000XT RX will work with the Sidekick and 703 Bolt if you're using a Bolt 3000 TX (XT or original)
The 1000XT RX will work with the Sidekick and 703 Bolt if you're using a Bolt 1000 TX (XT, LT, or original)

But the 1000 / 3000 will not work with the same transmitter.
