GH2 Wireless HD monitor rig

Imaginate

I thought I'd share this rig with you guys. The HDMI transmitter was a cheap generic version bought off ebay. The batteries and keep the camera and transmitter powered for a day.

I don't have a picture here but we power the reciever and monitor with portable 12v battery. All of our shooting for this film was outdoors with no AC.

Yes thats a bear in the backround.

Where did you get that bracket on the left of the camera?

How good is the signal? Distance? Is it reliable?

Can you explain a bit more on the used parts for this setup?

Also, what's the cable holder you're using on the left side?

Thanks.

Here is a list of the parts. We never did any real extreme distance. it would start to pixilate at about 60' . Originally we tried to power the camera, splitter and transmitter off one battery but it didn't work so we went with a dedicated battery with a meter on it so we knew when power was getting low.

I see that Nyrius has the smaller transmitter available now. I'm not sure how its powered but it would be nice to have a lighter smaller transmitter made things flow so much better than having to crowd around a camera monitor and also helped catch focus issues with bad takes. And just as important was having wireless sound monitoring to properly direct the actors, but thats another topic.

Our feature we were working on was shot in remote locations without access to power so the longer battery life was helpful. Having a high def monitor
