Teradek Bolt 500 SDI/HDMI Wireless Video with 2x Receivers!

Teradek Bolt is the industry standard for zero delay wireless video transmission. What else do you need to know!? The Bolt 500 transmits visually lossless 4:2:2 video over the unlicensed 5GHz band with less than 1 millisecond of delay, up to 500ft. It's Perfect for long distance aerial or gimbal work where accurate focus and a rock solid video signal are critical. It works with both HDMI and SDI signals and can cross convert the two.

Sigma Cine FF High Speed Primes PL Mount 4-Lens Choice

Founded on the success of the Sigma ART line of still lenses, the new Sigma Cine FF High Speed Prime line blows away other lenses at these price point, both optically and mechanically, and competes with high-end primes many times more expensive. These lenses are super fast with a common T1.5 maximum aperture (except the 14mm and 135mm) and ultra-sharp, even wide open. They have a compact 95mm diameter suitable for most industry standard matte boxes and have 82mm screw in filter threads. The cine housings have a superb mechanical design, with matching focus/iris gears across the range for easy lens changes. They offer full-frame compatibility, 8K resolution, a beautiful creamy image with fantastic roll off, and incredibly well controlled CA. They're like Zeiss Ultra Primes and CP.2s had baby and the image quality even rivals the prestigious Otus line of still lenses! In fact, www.dxomark.com scored the Sigma Art lenses, on which these are based, above Canon and Zeiss pretty much across the line. Furthermore, the 85mm attained the highest ever DxoMark score, outperforming the rival Otus. The FF High Speed Prime Line meets all the demands of professional movie creation. You will not be disappointed! Lens set includes your choice of 4 of the following: 14mm T2.0 20mm T1.5 24mm T1.5 35mm T1.5 50mm T1.5 85mm T1.5 135mm T2.0 Zeiss Lens Cleaning Kit Sigma Cine Prime Lens Hard Cases We also have full camera packages available, as well as monitors, wireless kits, motion controlled sliders, etc. Click on our profile to see listings.

Robert was very easy to work with in coordinating pickups and drop offs, and his equipment was maintained excellently. Stellar attention to detail. Would absolutely rent from again!

Renting from Rob is always easy and everything always goes super smooth. He's very flexible on pickup and drop-offs. Rob is very knowledgeable about his equipment and lots of different creative ways to use it. I highly recommend anyone looking for great gear at a great price to rent from Rob.
