OFFHOLLYWOOD HOTLINK + HOT TAP + HOTBOX R/S WIFI for RED DSMC cameras

[Joost Kelderman]

sad story.. though also interesting for audio, llight, midi anything..

 

[Robert Andriessen]

What about a bluetooth wheel + couple of extra buttons A to D? connecting to the iphone through the fool control app?

 

[Isaac Marchionna]

The tech is there, and could be super nice but sadly at the moment market for such a tool isn't there... yet

Pulling focus off a touch screen sounds fun for the first 2 minutes, then a nightmare after that.

Touchscreen focus control will NEVER replace a tactile hand controller.

BUT ... for many specialty situations - it's a really killer tool - and I was not a believer at all until I used Foolcontrol iOS.

heh heh heh

Haha, I think the "heh heh heh" is the new standard of announcements in here now a days :tongue_smilie:

 

[Elizabeth Lowrey]

Mark, is there any plans on making a simple knob that works with focus for the hotlink? I love the idea of controlling the camera through my phone, but I have a hard time thinking it's practical for a 1st AC to work long days with a touch screen, especially outdoors in rain or snow.

heh heh heh

Please give some more hints.

heh heh heh

It is already awesome, but "he he he " would be fantastic!

Will the Red 3 axis hand unit work with the hotlink to control focus of Nikon/Canon lenses like the Redlink?

No. There is not an RF radio inside the HOTLINK. (but if RED gave me the RF spec - I could spin a HOTLINK 2 for NAB easy breezy)

BUT ... there might be another way ...

This plus a 2 channel THC (wink, wink Jarred) would be the killer app for stills glass use on professional sets.

And I wanna add GIG-E + DHCP router - so ... push a button and send a full 6K RAW R3D still to another computer while rolling

Ack, quit talking about version 2 and release version 1. You're just being cruel now, Mark

This is what I plan to do. I was trying to decide which route to go since right now I don't have any follow focus or lens sets, just a Canon 24-70 LII. It was either cheap manual glass like Rokinon and the new Tilta wireless FF, or go all electronic focus lenses like the Canon L series. I decided that the option to eventually move to the 2-channel THC for controlling focus and then use foolcontrol for other camera functions would be the best.

It looks like we will be approx. 10 days behind but we will be able to ship more units faster - everything is in motion and going great - more specific shipping details by the end of the week as everything locks down - pushing hard.

yes - you can add anything you want to your order before it ships - just end an email to shop (at) offhollywoodny.com

With respect to the 3-inch antenna - if you are in AP mode (ad hock / directly connected from mobile device to HOTLINK/HOTBOX) in most cases it doesn't buy you anything - other than you can angle it so you have a better line of sight to mobile device. The only time we see any substantial difference is when you are connecting to a router (STA mode) - so HOTLINK/HOTBOX(s) connected to router - mobile device connected to router - that's when you can really boost range and see a difference.

If I'm not using a router - I just use 1" antenna.
