DJI Transmission vs Teradek Bolt 750 

Thanks! Love to see these videos from pro users that haven’t been sent the product from the manufacturer. Great work!

Solid breakdown, just what I was looking for and probably the best comparison on youtube for this!

It's exactly the video I was waiting for. Thank you thank you thank you

Really good real life use review! Great video. Thanks

I needed to see this!

Simple clean, straight to the point, no BS

great video dude, I need to try this out :)

Great review, I think DJI should sponsor you!

Hoping the DJI can make a 4K versions to be used with Black Magic Television Studio for Events and Live Broadcasting

Not surprised. Teradek 750 is notorious for bad signal. Maybe try with a Teradek 6.

"that's the on set" heck yes

I've just used the DJI's for the 1st time on a production for 10 days, and for our use case we had them in Broadcast Mode as it was 3 Camera's but with 2 Handheld monitors, and in that mode they're comparable to the Bolt 750, and were quite disappointing to be honest. In control mode though they are solid as a rock

Hello, I appreciate if you can help me with the following questions... I want to use the cin monitor combo to see the camera live on board a competition car rolling on a circuit... queries: The furthest distance between receiver and transmission can be 2km, there may be obstacles... The camera to connect is a go pro via HDMI cable. Is it possible? Does audio and video reach the monitor? Can the audio be heard through a headset? If I wanted to connect the monitor to a normal TV via HDMI, do I have to add the rear accessory? The monitor only has HDMI input... With the expander and the HDMI output on the TV would the image and sound be from the camera? Thank you, I await your response.

After two months, any new opinion from 1st AC?

Lol from the videos I’ve seen in the past two days he’s going to change his mind no matter what DJI got us all messed up 😂😂

what do you use for a high budget shoot?

Good comparison, thanks! It’s a strange that DJI didn’t make a separate RX without monitor. Hope they do it someday

It's an interesting video but I feel like the delay test are too simple. Also, what you aren't showing is the delay from the SDI out of the DJI Monitor which is really bad from what I experienced. I'm curious to know if it would have been improve with the new receiver or if it is still as bad.

I like his hair

DJI is great at breaking the standard with features and price, but they’re terrible at supporting their products. Once a new version is released, the old version stops getting updates, even if bugs still exist. Ask anybody with an original DJI focus.

EDIT: the fan issue was resolved, it came damaged and is quiet after we sent it in for repair. I was very surprised when the studio I work with got the DJI transmission. Hands down the best wireless video I’ve used out of the 5 brands I’ve used. The biggest issue, and it can be a big one is the fan noise on the transmitter. It is very loud and has caused real problems when rolling audio in quiet rooms.

Thanks for the video! Somehow I am not surprised that Teradek loses signal at 200 feet, when the maximum of the cheapest model should be 750, even in an area with some supposedly non-exaggerated urban interference, it should do better than that. In theory eheh. Please, make a comparison with a Vaxis Storm system, like the 1000s, that is in the price range of the basic Teradek models... Since the early 4K models,Teradek has been more and more unreliable, signal dropouts and general instabilities, inability to pair, a number of issues all around. I keep hearing stories of systems dead on sets and long sessions of troubleshooting needed, often bringing to no results. Productions often choose it just for the name, because if it was for the actual performance it would be already out of the industry. Some rental houses already don't want to hear about it anymore. Vaxis (Storm of course, not Atom) doesn't offer 4K transmission but it has all the features of a high end system as it is, with uncompressed zero latency stable signal. It would be interesting to see how it compares with this DJI system...

i would also say this aswell, your opening statement where you bring the dji down to mid production is slightly underplaying . i would happily run the dji system on a multi million pound shoots. distamce is absolutley massive. we do car commercials where we battle terradek all day long. i personally own a vaxis 3000 storm and athough its class its still not in the dji transmittor range. we shoot in scotland and often find ourselves in glencoe and the likes using huge line of site set ups . iv gotta be honest guys id happily sanction this onto a set. 1 last thing. we purchased vaxsis the week it was released and that was a serious risk as camera teams and DPs hadnt heard of it. we took the risk and within months the cheaper vaxis ( by far ) to the terradek counterpart was being demanded on sets . cheaper does not mean inferior by any means. iv stood on many a set next to a drone op and been like "why dont they put you tec in rx packedges" while his or her drone flies 10km away lol , well its here .....

name the music

Buuuut DJI have delay for focus puller. I have both. I hope this information is useful to someone. :)

Does it send audio? Does it send a clean feed for broadcast?

I run video playback and qtake on large budget sets , we no longer take jobs where production forces terradek as the RX package . this isnt even a remote contest .

I don't think a slate is a valid test. As witnessed by the fact that you got two different results for latency between tests which probably means actual latency is around 3.5 frames. Latency shouldn't vary. I assume you are working it out from filming the monitors. It would be more accurate with a timecode slate fliming at say 100fps so you can measure latency in 1/100th of a second. You could also just film a monitor playing back timecode.

teradek 750 sucks anyway. go for the higher ones. as a professional Focus Puller there is no chance to see a DJI system on set because of the latency.

Everyone knows that built in teradek monitor thing is terrible. I barely see it on set
