Yep I’m the same don’t get the video stuff except to wonder why you were filming on a canon r5 where there are Sony cameras which don’t over heat?.. Love the cats and think your next collab will have to be with Matti H if it’s going to feature one wheels 😀
Just popping in to say I enjoyed your 8 second live stream yesterday. Not sure which of your cats was featured, but I felt honored to witness it in its fuzzy glory before the video disappeared.
@@philipbloom , after watching your video, I immediately got up to play with my cat "Jasper," AND CineEye 2S Pro is now in my cart. I love when talented creators make helpful and entertaining videos like this.
Just recommended this product to a client. I sent them a link to your video and it pushed them over the edge to make the purchase! Thx - I get to play with new toys on their dime. Now if they'll pick up an. FX6 as well, we'll be in business!
Thank you for doing this, I've been looking at this exact device. You showed us everything I wanted to see, especially the range it's capable of. The link-up with phones and tablets is a great bonus, I honestly didn't think it would work so well on that part. Very good video.
I so appreciate your videos. They're always a treat. I save them like a good film to sit back and enjoy. I also love seeing the love between you and the other RUclipsrs. It's makes me feel good to see the positive relationships you have with these other creatives. Thanks again!
Thanks Philip. I have been eyeing this product and may pick one up. I apprecaitge your review. Your latency test is appreciated. I recenlty use another popular lower cost RX TX unit that has a name of a planet and the lag in our situation was a real challange as we used it for IMAG and the audio in teh room was very noticably out of sync. Love to use this for live streaming form a main camera as well. Cheers.
Everybody covers this device from the angle of running a single remote on set monitor on a single camera shoot. My interest is a multi camera shoot, with 4 wireless cameras plugged into an ATEM Mini delivering switching and a live feed to the internet (Facebook and RUclips in my case), taking interactive questions from the online audience. So the latency issues for me also include audio sync considering my wireless mics will likely bypass the Accsoon and go straight into an audio mixer, then routed to the ATEM Mini. BTW - downstream of the ATEM Mini, I plan to have an Epiphan Pearl Mini encoder linked via a bonded cell modem to the internet. This is all a completely different scenario than providing a confidence monitor for a client, but a very realistic application of this technology to engage online audiences in a live event covered by multiple cameras.
Monster set up! 😊 loved the video as always, Philip! Thanks for starting the weekend off well - best entertainment on YT... Gerald is a close second, of course 😉
Saw so many review but no one have actually shown real output quality of this transmitter. Even youtuber with lakhs of subscriberd are not taking this much efforts.
Distance is so good. Latency is good but as long as you send 50p. Teradek also had double latency at 25p but as it starts with 1 milliseconds not a big deal! Why do Panny have such a big lag out of their HDMI ports? I wish they would work on that.
@@driftwoodtv it will be the only camera that is instant if that’s the case! There’s substantial latency on the S1H, not as bad as the Nikon Z6 and Z7 though. I use high quality fast cables and the same ones across all the tests. If you film a clock like this and have an hdmi monitor plugged in and took a photo of both that, the lcd screen and the clock you will see what I am saying. Not having a dig at the S1h.
Wonderful review as always Philip, thank you very much :) A quick question, you mentioned your editing timeline is in 1080p, however your videos can be watched in 4K on RUclips. Do you upscale or render the final edit in 4K for upload, or do you do everything in 1080p and then actually up-sample it using a dedicated app like Topaz Video Enhance AI? I ask this because the quality of your videos is always exceptional and if indeed this is just 1080p rendered as 4K, then I must say the result is truly exceptional. By the way I use the standard CineEye 2, less features and no SDI, but enough for my need.. a great product indeed. Thanks again :)
Thank you! Not a review though! :) I normally have native 4K edits. This was a 2K timeline that I expected to a ProRes master then got media encoder to up Rez it. I wouldn’t use Topaz for that. Sure it would be there but would take a day or so to do it!
Thanks for the reply, and indeed great final image quality. And you are right in regards to the usage of Topaz Video Enhance AI. Its a phenomenal app that with the right settings can produce stunning results. But the render times (even on very fast computers with dedicated GPUs running just for that purpose) are a nightmare. A 15 minutes 1080p video up-sampled to 4K would probably take days to render. Thanks again for the review.. hummm, first-look, hummm hands-on. As usual, your cats steal the show :)
Will you pay me if I answer? Cellular data. Alternative is to get an Ethernet VPN little hotspot thing that’s powered by a USB battery. Then run a lightning/ usb c to Ethernet cable into. With the iphone it will recognise it and use that for days. You connect to a wifi signal via the app for that hotspot device, they cost about £12 on Amazon.
@@philipbloom Thanks much for such comprehensive answer! I tried it already on my android phone and ipad without external gadgets, but to no avail. I'll consider the payment when I will become a world class cinematographer:)
Why wouldn’t you? What makes the Komodo so special that a director/ clients/ focus puller don’t need to see an image. It’s a camera just like any other
@@philipbloom I guess my question was focused on the fact that Komodo requires SDI and most Sdi monitors only have an SDI in therefore you have to choose if you want wireless connectivity or having a monitor yourself ..
@@gw2maniac but I would probably recommend the Vaxis 500 for the Komodo as it sits on the back of the camera and works as a v lock adaptor, has SDI pass through and HDMI out
Hello Philip, first of all, thanks for a such great review! Due to the spread of Covid, I need to use my Fujifilm camera to stream live tours on my company for our customer. I was thinking to use CineEye 2s pro to send the video to my Black Magic ATEM, then stream the video to Zoom, Teams and other sw. My doubt is that I have to send the signal through walls and buildings: do you think this device will cover an area on a building 70mt long? (that is the most far point where we can go with camera) Approximately I have three prefabricated walls from the transmitter to the receiver. Do you think it will works fine for me? Thanks for your reply
@@philipbloom Any other suggestion about what can I use for it? As you can understand, I cannot use a cable, just radio or wi-fi... I have a very good wifi coverage, maybe it can helps? Thanks
One question: Accssoon states the maximum input resolution as 1080p. If I’m recording 4k externally via HDMI and connect the 4K loop out from my recorder to the CineEye, will it downsample it for me or will it just not work (and require a separate downscale)?
If you use a good monitor and output 50p/60P your latency will be about 115 Milliseconds. That’s double the milliseconds of using a hard cabled monitor. 115 milliseconds is 3 frames, so how fast do you react? Quicker than that?
why does a wireless video transmitter need hdmi connection to the camera? can't it connect to the camera by wifi? or at least have that option, even if higher latency?
So you know this is a sponsored video for Accsoon right? Probably not the best place to ask a question like this! All I can say is this has by far a greater range, has a tiny bit less latency, the app is superior and is quiet. The Hollyland fan is quite loud. The are both great systems but there’s a reason why I made agreed to the sponsored video for this over others.
@@philipbloom I did notice the sponsorship indeed, but trust your judgement for a fair response anyways, which you seem to be giving here :) Thank you by the way for the input!
and secondly is it really that videos hurt the camera sensor more badly than photo and can reduce its lifespan? because I heard that when you take video you're exposing your camera senor to pick up more dust which is (the greatest enemy of sensor) more than photos because the shutter speed take longer time than photos to shut down especially for mirrorless camera like sony?
Whoever told you that doesn’t have a clue what they are talking about. The dust is not on your sensor. It’s on a piece of glass that sits over the sensor. It’s the IR blocker.
@@philipbloom sorry it was a long question but I just missed some of it. Actually I'm a beginner photographer and I don't have a lot of informations about camera mechanism but I have a relative of mine he study photography 4 years ago and he has a long experience with photography he told me that I shouldn't buy an expensive camera and especially If i use it for videos because video expose the sensor for dust for longer time than photos and especially if it's a mirrorless camera when you don't have a mirror to protect the sensor, but I don't know about IR blocker what is that? Is it a peace of glass in the front of the sensor? and if it's so why everyone afraid about sensor dust and how to keep it clean? and secondly which it was firstly before, does the camera has a lifespan for videos just like photos and how can I identify it? because as i mentioned I'm a newbie and I had an expensive setup because I wanna make a very creative movies and I wanna protect my gears as much as possible as well.
@@firesmaug3214 video has no affect on the lifespan. Only a mechanical shutter for photos. An infrared blocker cuts light the pollutes the colours. Every camera has one and it sits over the sensor. People are scared of damaging the sensor but they can’t, they can scratch the IR filter though and that would need replacing if it was bad but dust is no problem.
@@philipbloom I meant I was getting confused with people saying you wouldn't be able to see anything (or it just goes black) if you're recording in 4k. But you're saying you can, but only in 1080p
To properly assess latency across all the different options you can get from one camera that’s from the camera direct. One built in and one HDMI. Then SDI out to cineEye which gives me hdmi and sdi out of the receiver. All 5 of those screens need to be tested as the same time to see the difference. Then also the mobile devices. Do it properly or don’t do it at all.
I wonder how many viewers, like me, will watch your videos end-to-end simply for the joy of watching the quality and creativity? Thanks!

To properly assess latency across all the different options you can get from one camera that’s from the camera direct. One built in and one HDMI. Then SDI out to cineEye which gives me hdmi and sdi out of the receiver. All 5 of those screens need to be tested as the same time to see the difference. Then also the mobile devices.
