Mariano Costa Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I really hope this does not turn I to Vaporware. Everybody wants something as good as a Preston for less, not even Arri has been able to do it... What`s wrong with the Arri`s? Which systems did you use?

Premium Members Walter F. Rodriguez Posted October 2, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 What`s wrong with the Arri`s? Which systems did you use?Older Arri units before the white radio update have always had interference issues. The white radio which is part of the latest Arri wireless has range issues compared to a Preston. The wcu4 Handunit did recently get a new larger antenna upgrade.

Premium Members Watcharawit K. Ya-inta Posted February 20, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 How about now in 2016, Has anyone been using Ikan wireless ff long enough to tell some feedback here? I read some reviews in BH, half of them said the system didn't turn on after 1st use or after a week. Any feedbacks or reviews here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Nate Weaver Posted February 23, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 The wcu4 Handunit did recently get a new larger antenna upgrade. I just by accident found out that upgrade is actually a new radio module that a new version of "white" and has some minor xmit power features. Plus the antenna. More or less a new radio module, but is still "white compatible". Let's hope going forward they can keep getting newer chips in there and keep them "white".

Ryan Forte Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I used a PD Move single channel system for a few months as a bonus to shoots that didn't have enough budget for AC and WFF in the first place so this was just an extra we Had fun testing. I would never bring it on a paid Job, but for someone learning how to pull focus and wants to educate themselves on the responsibilities of a first AC not a bad Idea. The Motors are huge for something that's not strong enough to turn a 35 CP.2 without a serious half second or more delay but ran at twice the speed on the rest of the CP.2 set can't figure out. It's a fun little toy but not a serious tool and they put the channel switch where a camera r/s button should go and you will find yourself constantly hitting the button by accident and changing the channel on the handset so mid turn it just cuts out... Lots of problems, but like I said better than having nothing and good for learning not for paid work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
