RedMote Wireless

[Harry Clark]

I'd like to revive this discussion. No joy EVER on my Redmote wirelessly. Very sad...
Actually no joy is an exaggeration, but it's very squirrely.
Red Team, any update?
Cheers,
Harry

Im going to have a stab in the dark and say things will improve soon with Redmote and everything wireless on DSMC.
Frustrating I know but I have faith this will get great

Hi
I ordered the redmote as my only way to control the camera, no handgrip or lcd.
Is it ok when ducked to the camera?
Thanks

 

[Harry Clark]

Yes.
And it's often OK when wireless. Just not always

[Ariel Weiss]

Thanks!
Glad to hear that. I hope they will figure out the wireless side also...

Yes.
And it's often OK when wireless. Just not always

I also hope for an improvement on the Redmote. First the problem of it disconnecting and it being fairly hard to get it to connect in the first place (I have two epics and two redmotes, both are the same), but also it´s GUI which I find confusing, would be great to change setting just by looking on the Redmote, and would be great to just put the redmote in hand and use it - intuitively, like with the Epic and the touchscreen (which are near perfect!).

Clients alwasy gets their expectations really high when I pull out the Redmote, sadly I often have to quietly put it aside as it is not thrustworthy (yet - it disconnects all the time)

isn't that the whole point of the REDMote.. to control and setup the camera wirelessly...
I'm sure red are working on fixing this. They must be, surely.
Anyone from red reading this?

Switch it from Remote to Local and you can do just that.

We just did a dolly shot where I was watching the field monitor about 40 feet from camera and would start/stop recording via RedMote. It is flakey indeed but I was getting good range in that instance.

using it right now and having no problem keeping a connection at 50+ feet.. I think, like all wireless devices, it highly depends on the area you're shooting in, physical interference as well as radio interference, and then just slight differences between units..
