I love this hand unit but sum things I'm a lil iffy about. First off those buttons. Oooh do they sound good...but that's the problem. They sound loud asf 😭 idk if the mic was just too close but having to make a quick adjustment while filming just to hear CLICK. I hope somehow, down the line, they implement the HI-5's 20 hot swap power thing where once the battery is out the unit stays active till you can get it a new NPF. 20 seconds is a long time to wait when it's crunch time. Lmao had a whole rant bout the locator pins. One thing I did say though is that I can kinda see if they're planning to make several more accessories that would compliment it like the wooden grips, I'd just have to see what they do. I hope along with a new MDR they upgrade their TOF. I've heard sum of the limitations, but maybe it'll just be better to follow the LR and make a wider beam. But if not, that Cine RT would be a killer combo with the Crtl. 5.
They hired an amazing 1st AC Brian Alchymiar to be their product designer. Excited to see all the new things from teradek
Absolutely agree! Brian's prescence the last 18 months has made a massive difference 😊
The pins slots are the new standard that follows the WC and Arri standard. Because of the buttons, there are some 1/4-20s spaced not to a standard.
ive been WAIT FOR THIS
