Premium Members Dan Kanes Posted August 28, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 The Crossbow with the Arrow Sticking out of the top measures 7.5" long at the longest point. Why Did we make it stick out at all you may wonder. The pcb antennas are in the end that is elevated. If we encapsulated the antenna ports in metal that would harm transmission quality and range. Why did we start with PCB Antennas in the first place? You have to start somewhere, and to comply with FCC regulations and get these out we have PCB Antennas. Will future Transmitters and receivers have external Antennas? Yes, Tomahawk will have External Antennas. When Will Tomahawk be released en masse? Likely to be able to ship en masse early Q4 this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Eric Fletcher S.O.C. Posted August 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Sorry but that's just awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted August 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I do have to say that I am disappointed by the crossbow... I own a Paralinx arrow and was looking forward to something ingenious, but this is just bulky and impractical and I mean, COME ON! no SDI out?!

Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted August 30, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Nebtek is shipping the Sling. It's more expensive, but it has more features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jarrett P. Morgan Posted August 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I, on a whim (and more out of curiosity than need since I can just run HDMI out of my decimator) bought a tiny little HDSDI to HDMI converter off of eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/141000842587?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649) to make my own crossbow like device for the stick HDMI transmitters. (A side-bar: playing around with wireless video and these consumer devices is a bit of a hobby of mine, it is quite fascinating)Anyway, in the picture below there is a voltage regulator in the little box with an output for the converter and one for the WHDI stick. Not having power integrated into the body isn't as pretty, but it is substantially smaller and works flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted August 30, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I too am a hobbyist of that sort. Can you post a link to that converter? Also, of you're interested, I can get you a link to a smaller voltage regulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
