    I sent mine back when it first dropped. I wanted to love it. It's well made. My image kept dropping on my C70? It was odd. Back to Atomos. It works.

    Vaxis makes a great kit too!

    I've been using my Accssoon CineView HE with my Komodo X in the same way (for client/director). It doesn't have SDI but I've been using the HDMI out port of my SmallHD Indie 7.
  • @sebastianFZE
    Hey Thomas, did you end up getting the regular cinesaddle or the mini?
  • @austinrhopkins
    Thoughts on the Pyro S that was just released? For a new release and $50 more, it seems like the right move. Longer range, 5G only, dual HDMI + SDI in/outs. Only HUGE bummer with the Pyro is the antenna. It doesn't look like the bullet-style antenna used on the Mars system is compatible with the Pyro.. I'm leaning towards the new Pyro but am worried about the bulkiness that would come with the paddle antenna. Curious to hear what you think

    hollyland released a new monitor the m1 enhanced
  • @popartmediaPL
    not happy as on camera monitor - peaking is a joke, huge lag no matter SDI or HDMI. I only use it as a Director monitor.
