THE REST OF THE STORY…
Hi! My name is Robert Benson, I’m a professional photographer in San Diego. Recently I saw a need for something in my line of work, so I made it: A wireless monitor that takes the still or video feed from a DSLR or video camera and sends it to a wireless, battery-powered monitor.
The device, consisting of a transmitter, receiver, and color 7″ monitor, takes the feed that normally appears on the back of your DSLR (like the Canon 5dmk2), and transmits it wirelessly to one or more monitors, which can be used by the art director on a shoot, DOPs, assistants, remote cameras, cameras on cranes or dollies, or anyone else who wants to see what the camera is seeing. It sends this video or still photos with no delay. You can use your existing Marshall or similar HDMI monitor as the main monitor, and send the video signal to my handheld monitor at the same time. (When Marshall or similar monitor is used in sd mode only and has BNC or other component out. In this scenario, the transmitter would plug into the monitor’s BNC out instead of camera). This technique is demonstrated in video below.
This wireless kit came out of a need in real world shooting, and I didn’t see anything else really available. Not at a reasonable price at least. There’s the HD CamWave which sends an HD signal wirelessly to a monitor, but the price starts at $6000. HPvideo.tv makes a 7″ wireless monitor for $2800. The Canon wft-e5a does something kind of similar, but that cost $675 and doesn’t include a monitor, and isn’t job-specific like mine. There’s other stuff out there, but its horrifically expensive. So I made one for about $200 bucks.
