By using a magic arm or a simple And圜ine hot shoe mount with a 1/4″-20 mount, I can get the transmitter in a good location. Since I don’t own a wireless set up at this time, I had to figure out an excellent way to mount the system. Having only one mounting option on the bottom without using two of the $60 mounting accessories requires a little planning. This mounting hardware adds a few 1/4″ options on the side as well as a couple of holes.īoth the transmitter and receiver are recommended by Teradek to be set up vertically for the best possible range. The Ace Mounting Bracket retails for $49.95. Teradek offers a mounting bracket for the Ace that attaches to the bottom of either unit. To mount the Ace 500 transmitter and receiver, you have one 1/4 20″ on the bottom of both the transmitter and receiver. The system does include a D-Tap cable and AC Adapter. The Ace 500 system ships bare-bones and requires you to add a kit for powering and mounting. When using a larger SWIT S-8972 7.2V, 47Wh battery, you get the following runtimes.

That’s crazy expensive for a battery plate, plus you need two if you’re not using a larger broadcast-style battery with a D-Tap out. The Ace Battery Plates (Barrel Connector) for L Type are $69.95 each.

The polarity is also next to the input on both units. I would hate to see your investment instantly burned up. When purchasing power cables make sure, the polarity is the standard center negative on the barrel. Since both transmitter and receiver use the AC barrel type input, the included D-Tap to barrel cable could be used with any V-lock or Gold mount battery as well. The good news is that you have many options from Teradek with several battery plate options. Over time it did mount easier, but I was concerned that I was going to break either the plate or the battery socket.Īs far as other options I’m not sure if a generic battery plate will fit on the Ace 500 as the four mounting locations look to be designed for the Marshall plate. I had to apply a lot of force to get the battery to mount. On one plate, the battery wouldn’t mount correctly and the two pins, while they appear to line up, are not going inside the battery. The Marshall L battery plate that was sent to me with the review unit is somewhat cheap and has a bad fit. I put the Teradek Ace 500 through its paces to see how well the USD $899.96 HDMI wireless HD system works. The new Ace 500 has the look and functionality of the Paralinx Ace system only with improved performance. In 2015, Teradek bought a competitor Paralinx. The newer models have better latency and working distance, making wireless video systems an attractive addition to any production. Unlike analog, when the signal gets weak, or interference becomes an issue, the video signal freezes or drops completely. If it doesn’t send a clear signal, it’s not going to be usable. While cost is always a factor, performance is a big one. We have all had close calls with that one. Freeing your camera from a cable is a huge improvement on set allowing a director or producer not to have to be next to you while shooting or worrying if someone will trip over that video cable. Wireless video is all the rage now, primarily due to the lower price points as well as improved performance.
