Brand: Hollyland
Model: MARS X HDMI Wireless Video Transmitter
- Sleek and lightweight
- enables you to share your camera view while recording simultaneously on up to three iOS or Android mobile devices.
- No more explaining to the director, D.P., or producer how the shot went—they can see for themselves in real time! Supporting up to 1080p HD video, the Mars X Transmitter is also a great solution for easier focus pulling by your camera assistant.
- The Mars X Transmitter’s compact design is especially handy for use with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and smaller camcorders.
- If centrally mounted on your camera, it won’t even interfere with your gimbal balance. Optimal transmission range is up to 150' with a maximum range of up to 300'.
-Wworks with progressive video input via HDMI and Wi-Fi–connected mobile devices like smartphones, iPads, and tablets.
- Use the HollyView app with updated firmware and smart channel selection to sync your device with the Mars X Transmitter.
Compatible cameras include the Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 5D Mark IV, 6D Mark II, EOS RP, and Canon pro camcorders and consumer camcorders; Sony a6600 series, a7 series, and a9 series cameras; Panasonic Lumix mirrorless cameras; FUJIFILM X series mirrorless cameras; and Nikon Z series mirrorless cameras. Note that the Mars X Transmitter is not compatible with cameras that record only interlaced video, such as the Canon 6D, 60D, 5D2, 80D, and 90D.
Weighing just under 4 ounces, the Mars X measures roughly 6 x 2 x 0.75", including its unfolded antennas. The transmitter has one HDMI video input, one USB Type-C port, and one micro-USB port. It provides a choice of eight frequency channels to avoid interference, and you can even password-protect your transmission to keep your project secure from prying eyes.
Transmitter features include an OLED status display screen, less than 0.07-second latency, built-in antennas that fold neatly into a niche on the transmitter, and rounded corners on the aluminum housing to avoid damage if dropped. This pint-size solution and app offer imaging tools like 3D LUT display, focus peaking, waveform, zebra, and more to lend your mobile device a pro-monitor feel.
Power options include an integrated battery with a 1-hour run time, USB Type-C charging from a power bank or USB charger with a wide 5-12V input range, and charging via select gimbals. The transmitter’s 1/4"-20 thread and the included cold-shoe adapter provide easy mounting on your rig.
A short anecdote for those who’ve read this far about how technology like the Mars X Transmitter has really made more collaborative filmmaking possible. Back in the day when most features and television shows were shot on film, if your camera didn’t have a videotap, the only way to see your frame was through the viewfinder. The joke on set was to tape a paper cup to the tripod so people could deposit a quarter to “pay” to peek through the camera like one of those telescopes at a tourist attraction!
