I have just taken delivery of the latest in technology from Zaxcom USA. Miniature radio transmitter/recorders that have twice the radio range of normal kits plus the ability to wirelessly receive timecode from the camera and record timecode stamped 48kz wav files at the transmitter so you will never again lose another take even if the talent walks/gallops/drives out of radio range!

 

Zaxcom TRX900LTHThese clever little wonders even sense when the camera is rolling and increase their output power, then drop back to standby mode once the take is over to conserve battery power. Tiny, robust casing makes it easy and comfortable to hide, even when clipping to bra straps is the only option available.

 

Here are the technical highlights:

  • Built-in 2.4 GHz receiver, receives timecode and remote control signals from ZaxNet via the IFB100
  • Digital modulation wireless transmitter
  • Superb audio quality that rivals a mic cable
  • 96 hour internal backup recording with timecode stamp
  • Digital drop-out protection
  • 5 hour run time on a single AA lithium battery
  • Graphic LCD display
  • Small, rugged and lightweight
  • No inter-modulation - up to 50 transmitters, in the same frequency block, can be used together

Never again will radio glitches, interference or super long shots be a problem! I have just added 2 of these to my arsenal of equipment and they build on my Zaxcom collection, complementing my TRX900 and QRX100 stereo camera links. Visit my equipment page for the complete story.
