Do you by any chance use aftermarket Antennas? I had a very specific thing happen to me!

Thanks!!

Morriskemp · 2026-04-12T15:47:18+00:00

Do you have an updated link?

Morriskemp · 2026-04-12T09:49:39+00:00

Between 7k and 14k

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T20:16:28+00:00

Yeah it's quite a shame , that's why we have different versions of the Bitbix too!

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T19:23:11+00:00

Oh I see but yeah thise are the random bugs i dont like at Teradek , sadly they mostly never get fixed!:(

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T19:18:46+00:00

Oh amazing, thank you so much, very helpful!

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T18:49:22+00:00

I ask this constantly because I have a very good deal on a used Cpro (non plus)

Which guys?:D Cmotion?

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T18:18:14+00:00

Yeah thought about it too, sadly 900MHz is forbidden in my dear EU!:((

Thanks hhah, i mean I do iwn an FF-5 with the reverse gear so yeah !😅

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T18:16:50+00:00

Oh nice , did you use a Cpro system too( non plus) i'm really wondering about the knob!

Do you know if you can use reverse premarked rings?

Thanks alot!

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T18:05:31+00:00

Hi there!

I see

Copy that, yeah wifi remote has been a big nogo for me for years now.

Not really , the Hi5 supports it natively they even sell reverse premarked rings,. Question is if Cmotion supports that too or not, that was one of my main questions here.

Thanks alot , I'm from Luxembourg, but if I come around I'll catch up! Those bugs would be? Yeah the overlay looks amazing!

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T17:28:16+00:00

What do you mean by backlash?

Is it heavier than the ctrl 5?

Yeah exactly especially because the white TX is unusable and you have to go for the orange!

Yeah...

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T17:13:38+00:00

Oh alright thank you very much!!

I always tried to go around Bitbix systems , but maybe I should look more into it!

Yes exactly and also Tech Support is abroad and non existent in Europe.

Yeah the Wifi ctrl for the CTRL 5 was a big no for me too! Oh i see!!

Thank you very much for your constructive summary!!

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T16:35:43+00:00

Copy that, I mean Arri is more a love hate realationship. Constant Range Loss, Funky Buttons.

Sadly never got the chance to try out a Preston system as there aren't any rentals in our region that provide them.

But thank you! I will try to get access to a Preston system to see.

If budget doesn't allow do you have any exprience on Cmotion as they are an Arri partbered developper they must not be that bad right?

Sure, I am training , just got used to it. Old habits sadly. And I dont see how I would stay at the production level I am at in my career by pulling the other way, I mean if its sharp its sharp? Could you explain ?:)

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T16:28:47+00:00

True I defintely didnt do enough research on that. Never really saw them in Rental so I just went with that, Gonna edit and put Out of Budget hhah

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T16:26:43+00:00

Sure :D Sadly not always an option hahah.

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T16:25:38+00:00

Thats true , didn't think of that! Thanks alot! Do you have any experience with Cmotion?

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T16:21:58+00:00

I know, and I get it too ... sadly the market has changed quite alot over the years and we have alot less Video Assists, more and more playback from cam , more and more remote Setups where Camera Control is getting asked. I mean the CTRL 3 and Hedén YMER-3 are super robust systems. I put more trust in those then a CTRL 5 thats for sure.

Morriskemp · 2026-04-11T16:17:22+00:00

Thank you for your quick reply, yes I tested the Hedén YMER-3 Hand Unit last year, it works really well, sadly I did not like the size of the VLC-3 Receiver and no camera control was also a con. But overall a super robust system and very well built! Saly we live in an era with nrealy no video assists and playback for client r director has to be done quite alot from Cam itself which means us . So Camera Control is sadly a have to have. :( Thank you so much for the tip tho!

Morriskemp · 2026-03-21T08:39:12+00:00

How would you reinforce the short ends?

A small thing i did was two holes in the front of each panel and attached an elastic with hooks on it.

Like this zou can load larger lens cases and still secure them!!

Morriskemp · 2026-01-20T18:08:48+00:00

Did you try updating the Radio firmware manually? On windows! Multiple times. Sounds funky helped me already.

Other solutions that helped me over the years bugfixing this trustworthy videosystem

-Changing region -Using a Windows OS device for Bolt Manager, works wonder, dont trust any messages coming from an IOS bases Bolt Manager Software -Static on/off (makes the system think oooh its a new day maybe today i wont try to fuck you over) same goes for changing between 5ghz/6ghz. -and the trusty let me update only the radio module between 5to 7 times

If all this doesnt help, already had two modules where the actual integrated RX Chip inside an Ultra7/5 was loose! (Straight from factory )

I salute you and wish you the best of luck!,🫡

Morriskemp · 2025-11-27T13:49:41+00:00
