GROUP BUY - Vaxis Storm Wireless Streaming System

[Arnaud Dumas]

Those who want the 2-pin lemo will have their orders delayed so they can make the changes. They have the 4-pin versions ready to go right now, so if that's the version you want, you can order now and they will be shipped immediately!

I'll go with the 4 pin lemo then. Sorry about that !

On the fence about the 500 vs 1000 vs 1200

Has anyone had issues with the 500?
I would be more likely to get that with 2 receivers.

I've heard the 500 is comparable to the bolt 300 - and if that's the case then I would be fine with that for most jobs.
(A local rental house is using the hollyland version of this and is quite happy with them - saying they're better then the bolt 300s)

 

[justin lovell]

So mabye the best bet would be to get the 1200 system to run out to video village with and additional 500' receiver for a directors monitor that is close to the operator?

I was considering just getting the 500' version - but is it that much poorer then the 1200? If the 500 compares to the bolt 300 - then that's all I need. can you comment?

 

[Reuben Evans]

yeah, with the delay on the 2 pin Lemma, I'll just take the normal cable, and buy a 4 pin to 2 Lemo from Teradek.

 

[Chris McKechnie]

thanks for answer. What about lemo please ?
and what do you mean when you said : 500ft 1:1 or 50 feet 1:2 ??
thanks

They currently come with 4-pin lemo connections. D-Tap to Lemo cables are included with every kit. If you want a 2-pin lemo connector, delivery will take longer since those are custom ordered.

I haven't personally tested the 500 version, but the 1000 and 1200 versions I have. It's always best to get a longer range than what's needed so you can go through more walls/farther with the signal.

Yea, that would work well!

Specify that when you place your order/send payment!

hi
thanks for answer but my question was : what's the difference beetwen LEMO with 2 pin and 4 pin? and what the best choice for red epic w 8 K?

last question what do you mean when you said :
500ft 1:1 or 500 ft 1:2 ?
thanks

 

[Nicholas Wise]

maybe i can help

what's the difference beetwen LEMO with 2 pin and 4 pin? and what the best choice for red epic w 8 K?

Lemo-2pin is most commonly wired ARRI-standard, meaning pin 1 is ground and pin 2 is +VDC. You would see this as a 12V power-out port on the Redvolt Expander, XL and Redvolt XL modules as well as on the Arri Alexa and Amira. It is the power-in port-of-choice on Teradek's and Ghost-Eye's.

Lemo-4pin is most commonly wired Red-standard, meaning pin 1 is ground and pin 4 is +VDC. In the Red-iverse, it is a 12V power-out port on the Redvolt Expander as well as the old +1 Adaptor Module.

Since you get a PTap-to-Lemo cable as part of this kit, either choice will work just fine. However, PTap-to-Lemo2 cables are easier to get hold of if you break yours or need a spare.

500ft 1:1 or 500 ft 1:2 ?

1:1 = transmitter plus 1 paired receiver
1:2 = transmitter plus 2 paired receivers

 

[Jean baptiste]

thanks a lot for answer. Sorry but my english is not perfect so I want to be sure to perfectly understand you. with EPIC W 8 K I should choose lemo 4 pin right ?
thanks

 

[justin lovell]

Thanks Chris.

In your experience - is it worth paying the extra for the 1200, or is the 1000 acceptable?
Have you found a real benefit to the 1200?

ps- Hi Jean - The 11-16 tokina is working out great!

Thanks!

From the build quality and the few extra accessories, it seems like the 1200 is worth the extra. Just had this discussion with myself earlier today. The metal housing will take much more a professional beating than the plastic, and will probably outlast its use.

With the Epic-W (or any camera) it does not matter which one you go for.

The 1000 foot is a nice unit, however, the 1200 foot version far outshines the 1000 foot version in terms of build quality. So I'd get the 1200 if you can swing it. It's well worth it IMO
