Premium Members Niclas Narwall Posted February 26, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 When the last Steadicam workshop took place here in Sweden by Hofmann I talked a bit about my Bluetooth tally system I have developed for television. I have finally put together a small site to show how it works. http://www.montanjfilm.se/bluetooth/ I have specified a few of the key components with their product ID and they can be found on http://www.elfa.se/ It started like a fun idea but turned out to be really great, and reliable. I developed it for use on Steadicam but I didn´t want to use the internal wires in the EFP rig because I didn´t want to be locked to just one rig. This solution can be easily adapted on cranes or other broadcast equipment. /Niclas Närwall Operator in Sweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Jason Torbitt Posted February 26, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 An excellent idea, very well made and excellent research & development, that must have been hard work but well worth it. It's certainly something that would easily sell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Imran Naqvi Posted February 26, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Very cool ! Indeed very cool. Is this unit go in production? Next step, blue tooth zoom control? Also a good idea! I have Peter Abrahams wired tally light, but I would also be very interested in this wireless system.

Premium Members Jeff Muhlstock SOC Posted February 26, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 This is a very cool device. Well done.... May I recommend that you consider a simple photo sensor relay on your sender half, so that it will work with any camera's existing tally light. There are too many eye piece connector types out there. I think it would be a more marketable item. I know Jim B is listening, Bluetooth zoom would be incredible. Or even better, just a Bluetooth relay for any zoom control.... A small sender at the zoom controller, and receiver at the lens. Like a dream. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Perkins Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Are you going to be producing these bluetooth tally lights for sales to other operators? I would be interested in talking about offering them on our web store. Carl Perkins www.steadistuff.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
