If anyone is interested in using one for a demo (outside the US, of course) please feel free to contact me. I have one unit I can send on your FedEx/UPS for a one-day demo at no charge with 4-pin XLR power cable. Chris Murphy vtrguy@gmail.com

There won't be a Modulus 4000. Trust me, i've had 6 of them in my hand. That said, the Dynawave VTX100 & Modulus 3000Y are half the price of the Canatrans and have a comparable performance. Chris

I've used the RaptorHD and it worked great. At this point we have 6 Raptors and I'd never use anything else. It's just worked too well for us. Chris

Call Peter Spinelli at CIT East -- some units are able to be modified for 24V. But at the cost you may as well upgrade to Modulus 3000 or Dynawave eVTX100. Chris

David Hable's at Cramped Attic is nice, but the thing about HPVIDEO's is the BNC changeable antenna. Cramped Attic has a telescoping, built in antenna. HPVIDEO allows for different antennas. Also, their receiver is so good it makes a great back-up receiver and you can use a shark fina antenna with it if necessary. Chris Murphy Video Village, LLC. www.videovillage.com

Chiming in from the receive side of things... Having done many multiple camera wireless shows, I'd NEVER use a rubber duck as a receive antenna. They're omni-directional and don't stand up to any of the "shark-fin" style antennas we use. The last "big" show we did had up to nine cameras and more than half the time they looked hard-wired. We had such unique situations that we used HELICAL antennas THAT were rock solid. At one point we even shot video about 2 miles from the roof of a hotel from a splinter camera down to the Video Village. That said, there are what I'd call three "levels" of antenna reception. The first is the "Radio Shack" level -- cheap, entry-level, and you get what you pay for. Level two has some brand of shark fin. The CIT Ultra-Antenna is the tried, true and most well known version. We also carry sell one manufactured by Professional Wireless that does an excellent job. The third level would be the over-the-top specialty side of things where we use the helicals. Of course, you can't forget we're just talking about antennas here. We didn't even talk about how important the receiver is. The diversity receivers have shown us their weight in gold whether it be the DX400, 404, or the new(er) Mod-Quad. And if anyone wants any pictures of receive situations, let me know.
