Vaxis Atom 500 Reviews
Easy to use and effective.
Wireless video quality is good to about 300 feet with a line of sight. It is easy to use and lightweight.
Good tool in many situations
I haven't had extensive practical experience with this kit, but, for the price, I'm not sure there is a better product at the moment. I wanted a tool that would transmit video to a receiver/monitor and/or an iphone or an ipad. I wanted something that could be powered by my Ronin S and wouldn't require a bulky battery. I didn't want antennas sticking out, making a small unit big. The Vaxis Atom 500 meets all these criteria at an incredible price. The only drawback, hence 4 stars, is that it produces noticeable fan noise. I don't think I will try to use it for interviews in a quiet setting. Just a heads up, I learned that my cellular service interferes with the signal when connecting to an iphone. Putting the phone in airplane mode solves the problem.
Great Range
I have used these to broadcast football games. With the receiver sitting in the pressbox on the opposite side of the field, we had very few problems. It did freeze a couple times. Once it came back on its own, and the other time I had to restart the receiver.
Depends on the situation
It seems to work well when there are no other wireless video signals to compete with, and the range is great. But as soon as you fire up other transmitters, it loses synch. I guess it all depends on your application.
Not stable
This product is not ready for prime time. Looking to send it back. Have not heard back from Vaxis. If they resolve this i will update.
I have used this transmitter extensively
I have used this transmitter extensively every other day for the past 2 months powering it with usbc and this has being as exceptional and reliable as other brands like teradek. One thing to take into consideration is that the fan control should be always on auto, otherwise there is a possibility of overheating if its off after 5 hours
Worked Okay for 2 Days then Broke
I bought this for a client who was looking for wireless HDMI on the cheap and it worked great! Updated the firmware and it seemed to be running fine then out of nowhere it would turn off by itself. I reached out to the company for support and they had someone named Nina replying to me but when I asked for a refund, I never got a response. That was back in February and it is now the middle of April.
Simultaneous Units - Worked Great!!
I used 4 of the Atom 500 units simultaneously on a live webinar, where wireless video was required. I'm very happy with the quality of the feed, and the ability to run the units side-by-side. We pushed the limits of the wireless spectrum and distance (shooting between boats that were moving around). When I first setup the devices, they immediately paired correctly very quickly. Once I was out on the water, it took a while for them to pair together, but I was able to get them to work. Considering price and capabilities, the positives far outweigh the limitations of the Atom 500 kits. I would definitely buy them again, and will continue to implement them into my projects.
