Brad Smith Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 AB battery option is a good idea......... But only if there's a v lock version as well! Please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted September 18, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 For the AB battery option, it would be great to have the sidekick rotated 90 degrees so its antenna points up when attached to a battery plate behind a DP7 monitor when the battery plate is set horizontally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Ng Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Brett - I understand your request, will see if there is still some time to put in some input. AB battery option is a good idea......... But only if there's a v lock version as well! Please! Makes sense, I guess we shouldn't assume if they have AB mount, that they will also have V mount. For the AB battery option, it would be great to have the sidekick rotated 90 degrees so its antenna points up when attached to a battery plate behind a DP7 monitor when the battery plate is set horizontally. I agree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members brett.mayfield Posted September 21, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 groovy. it would just be consistent with the receivers I've used and how I've seen ACs mount then (with the existing and included teradek long thumb screws) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Ng Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 The day has come! As promised, Steadicam Forum members will have the first opportunity to pre-order the new Bolt Sidekick - a lightweight universal companion receiver for all current generation Bolt 300/600/2000 systems. And, as an extra token of our appreciation, we’ve worked together with the SmallHD team to get you guys a sweet deal on a monitor to go-along. With a pre-order of any Bolt Sidekick (SDI or HDMI) and verification of a previously-owned Bolt transmitter, members will receive 20% off SmallHD’s AC7 OLED SDI monitor. No quantity limit. Discount also applies to the AC7’s Anton Bauer plate and monitor hood. You will receive a coupon code once your order is placed for your Bolt Sidekick. Please use the following link to pre-order your Bolt Sidekick: http://teradek.com/collections/special-pre-release-sidekick Also, note that AB/V Dual Battery adapters ARE available and you can find them under the Accessories/Power Options tab. Just select the Type as Sidekick Rx. Bolt Sidekick units will start shipping mid-October. As a courtesy, I would like to let you know that our next set of pre-orders will go to our entire client base of current gen. Bolt owners. While that might include many of you on this thread, you can go to the top of the fulfillment list by ordering before the next wave. The next pre-order wave will most likely occur October 6th while public availability will be around October 13th. Please feel free to follow-up with any questions here or directly. Thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted October 2, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Quick question: for the Bolt 300, apart from the number of outputs is there a difference with the sidekick and regular receiver?

Andrew Ng Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thanks all! Quick question: for the Bolt 300, apart from the number of outputs is there a difference with the sidekick and regular receiver? Great question. Other than not having the option for multiple outputs (SDI,HDMI & USB 3.0), there will not be frame rate/resolution conversion and most likely no test patterns. Keep in mind, like the 300 receiver, you will still have an OSD using the toggle switch to allow for in-field pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
