ben Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hey Guys, is the sidekick zero latency like the bolt 300rx? in testing is there any lag using the sidekick? looking at either the sidekick or another 300rx to work with my bolt 300. like the size and versatility of the sidekick, but latency is the most important factor.. thanks for your feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not increased (or decreased) latency, all Bolt systems are <1ms. Cheers, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the advantage of going from a 300 receiver to a sidekick would be. For those with 600 and 2000 it is a considerable size and weight difference.

ben Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 sorry wasn't clear, I'm looking at adding a second receiver to be partnered up with a smhd702 as a focus setup. hence the importance of zero lag. thanks for the replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 anyone recommend a sweet rig to mount a sidekick to a 702? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members brett.mayfield Posted May 3, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 both ikan http://ikancorp.com/mobile/productdetail.php?id=516 and wooden camera http://woodencamera.com/Director-s-Monitor-Cage.html have monitor cages and they both work well smallhd also has their own set of grips, I believe recently discontinued, if you can pick up a set of those. the monitor features a single 1/4-20 thread on each outside edge, for total, to you can use an Israeli arm or headless set screwa to attach the sidekick. the sidekick does not have a through-hole like the other teradek receivers, it only has a single 1/4-20 mounting thread on the bottom of the unit. your issue is going to be power. check out media blackouts breaker batt or search this forum for the Sony / swit 8972 battery with DC out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted May 4, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have a little 702/Bolt Sidekick monitor cage that I'm working on. Here's a quick glimpse: This cage will be "cable-free" everything will snap into place, and all of the power and video will be run internally. The unit will be able to take different style battery plates, as well. The finished product will also have two power outputs and the monitor's second HD-SDI line on the side. The handles will be removeable, and I will be designing various clamps to attach follow focus hand units to the side. If you want to know more, or you want to get in the line to get them when they're close to being done. Please email sales@mediablackout.net, or call 310-904-6222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members brooksrobinson Posted May 4, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thanks Alan! That looks much better than the current options for the 702/Sidekick. The current Teradek Sidekick cage is too big, and the Wooden Camera handles for the 702 are wanky. Your design seems like the right tool to complete the perfect directors monitor. Please put me down for two. Brooks Robinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 got a price yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Lawrence Karman Posted May 4, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Alan that looks great. Just as a side note, we are using an Odyssey 7Q monitor/recorder as the director's hh monitor with 2 Bolt Sidekick receivers attached. He can do split screen on it for A&B cam simultaneous viewing, or switch back and forth between the 2. 1 AB battery powers it all. Great set-up.

Premium Members brett.mayfield Posted May 4, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I rocked a similar setup but DP7. all of the teradeks generate a good amount of heat. just consider this when boxing the RX in on the back of the monitor. maybe there's a way to make the RXs stackable...?
