Surprise your customers with this little transmitter tank!

If you're an independent filmmaker or freelancer, you need to invest in Benbox right away. It was one of the most useful and helpful tools I have ever bought for video production. I took some test photos at home and was able to use them in a commercial recently, so let me talk about the pros and cons. Pros: - Well-built all-metal construction (it's a small tank) - Easy to connect to devices (phone, computer, tablet up to 3) - Reliable up to 250ft then acquisition lag. - Very useful for director monitors or customer monitors. With this function you leave a serious impression on your customers. Latency is minimal and is great for adjusting focus and showing actions/labels. I think that's a pro considering you can easily spend $500 for a worst latency device. - Super long battery life. Cons: - From time to time the app misses a beat. This can be once every 10 minutes and mostly happens when there is an obstacle, for example on the opposite side of the camera. This is not a problem. For high-end customers (Nike, Apple) I would rent a suitable director's monitor and transmitter. If you're at that level, you probably aren't buying this. I jump on big clients and can take full advantage of this in ads with a smaller budget. Overall I give 10/10 because of the price for what you get. This brand is part of Andy Cine which I use the A6+ with and it's a beast. Never had a problem with it. I think it's great that we're finally seeing the quality products we need as filmmakers at a price point that most of us can actually afford.
