I will first say that I purchased this product used $750. For this price and functionality, this product is great! No noticeable delay. Great sharp monitor. Great accessory to my kit for monitoring. I also have Ninja Vs but they are no replacement for these.

Solid/Budget-friendly Alternative to Teradek Bolt 7 and co.

Great brightness, decently sharp and a good set of features that you would need as a DP or 1st AC/Focus (False Color, Scopes, even Anamorphic De-squeeze. Setup was a little odd connecting to the Atom 500 SDI kit; needed to Pair the two systems, but wasn't very clear to do so from the menu and otherwise vague manual. For the simple fact that for under $1.5K I now have a robust wireless video solution for my 1st AC/Focus, Director, not to mention anyone joining via the app, this purchase is well worth it.

What accessory do I need to send the signal from my Canon C300 MK3 HDMI/SDI to this monitor so it can be used as a wireless mon?
Asked by: John
You would need to add a second Vaxis Atom A5 5.5&quot; Wireless RX/TX Monitor as the Transmitter. Then use the HDMI output of your Canon C300. Also you could purchase the Vaxis Atom 500 kit, and just use the Transmitter to send a signal to the Vaxis A5 from HDMI or SDI.
