Wow your clients with this little tank of a transmitter!
If you’re an Indy or freelancer filmmaker, you need to invest in the Benbox immediately. This has been one of the most useful and helpful tools I’ve ever purchased for video production. I took some photos from the test at home and I was able to use on a commercial recently so let me break down the pros and cons.Pros:-Well built all metal construction (it’s a little tank)-Easy to connect to devices (phone, computer, tablet up to 3)-reliable up to 250ft then delay picks up.-Very useful for directors monitor or clients monitor. You will seriously impress clients with this feature.- latency is minimal and great for setting focus and watching action/marks. I think this is a pro considering you can spend an easy $500 on one with worse latency.-super long batteryCons:- time to time the app will skip a beat. It’s maybe once every 10 mins and mainly happens if there is an obstruction like being on the opposite side of the camera. It’s a non issue.- for super high end clients (Nike, Apple) I would rent a proper directors monitor and transmitter. If you’re at that level you’re probably not shopping for this. I jump in and out of big clients and can totally use this on lower budget commercials.Overall I give it a 10/10 because of the price for what you get. This brand is part of Andy Cine which I use their A6+ and it’s been a beast. Never had an issue with it. I think it’s awesome we are finally seeing the Quality products we need as filmmakers at a price that most of us can actually afford. Hats off to the BenBox!

The Future is Now LF lol
Works exactly as It says, If I can figure out how to get to work with a standard HDMI screen with input/output ports it would 5 stars, solid build not plastic , maybe throw some padding on the hot shoe bit still for the money I’m Impressed

Feels like a very quality Item, but UNFORTUNATELY its not.
Unusable for any quality project. It works but the flicker and resolution issues resemble a modern day VCR. I was operating the transmitter in my apartment from the living room to the bedroom with a line of site to my router and the feed still looked like a security guard screen in the movies.

Great handy device to have on set during this pandemic on a budget..
I'm going to start off by saying that before the pandemic I had never thought of using a wireless transmitter for my video shoots because it was kind of nice to have everybody in video village together going over things.. But obviously things have changed... I just received mine about a week and a half ago and I can tell you that at first I was a little skeptical but I'm now a believer.. I really like the build quality.. It literally almost feels military grade material on it. The build is very strong and connection was very easy If you connected Bluetooth headphones to your phone before it's pretty much that easy.. very little latency.. I've used it so far on one video shoot and it was nice having everybody stay in their positions and just look at the video monitor on their phone.. One thing I wish they would do though is maybe add a section to the app where you can turn off the other monitors so they can't change your settings accidentally.. But this is a handy tool to have during these crazy times and probably the safest way to shoot on a budget.. I haven't tried the luts yet.. But I plan on down the road since it's there. Very very convenient for everybody on set. Looking forward to using this in the future on all my shoots. I'm Not going to go into technical detail of everything because there's plenty of reviews on YouTube that go into the technical side of this.. But from a real-world use perspective this is a great thing for a person on a budget or maybe not even on a budget who just needs to have video playback for certain people on set..highly recommend it It's very small it doesn't take up too much room and it doesn't take too much time to charge it. Just remember to turn it off and on If you go have lunch or something.. If it's just sitting there the The connection is still running..

This COULD be the best affordable wireless transmitter of all.. but zero app features
Price wise it's unbeatable, the design it's simple great, small footprint, included hot shoe, no antennas, large battery capacity, I guess the best design as well. The image quality from this thing it's just simply awesome. But then there's the app design, the features, instructions.. which are totally absent.So, The good thing is that the image quality is't unbeatable, lots of detail (way better that the hollyland mars x that has a pretty soft and undetalied image with lots of compression) but that's just the only thing that you're gonna get with this. Everything else is just absent or doesn't work or it's useless. Histogram, a tiny little rgb histogram that you cannot move around, change the size or make ir luma, not useful. Zebras, swiping from left to right you change the threshold but actually it's not so sensitive so you can never get it on the right porcentage, so, useless. Markers, you have a few but the layout it's badly done and for example the thirds sit too much on the borders of the image, so, useless. Luts, in the menu it doesn't appear any, and there's no clue o instructions on how to make them appear, or even load them, so, useless. You have also a mono option which your'e never gonna use.There's also two image transmission modes, one of them have amazing detail but a little bit of latency and it crushes a bit the shadows, and the other one is faster but it stretches a bit the image it raises the shadows a bit and sometimes it gets laggy, depending the phone or camera. Both actually are very detailed but the one with more latency even more, that one has no lag. The modes in my X-T3 work one for 50fps videos but doesn't for 25fps, and the other mode, viceversa, with sony I didn't had that problem. There are NO OTHER OPTIONS or anything.. it's just that.The camera control it's a very nice feature but it doesn't work on fuji. For what I've seen it works fine in Canon and Lumix. The overall design of the interface needs improvement, the button layout its not nice. You cannot capture video or photos in the app like with the hollyland (you always can screen capture with your phone)So basically if you want a transmitter to see the images with a LOT of detail, no compression and little latency, this is the best one. But be aware that that is the ONLY thing that you're gonna get, forget the features and everything, this is just the image. Then, this is the best. Otherwise, you should go with the Hollyland mars X or the Cineeye models.

Wouldn't pair correctly no response from company
The build quality is great but that's useless when the device itself wouldn't properly transmit the HDMI signal over 6 feet (with a clear line of sight). Don't spend your money on this. The app itself is another pain. To top things off the customer service email provided in the packaging never responded, nor the direct seller email provided on the Amazon platform. Hassle is not worth it at all, regardless of the price point.

Bueno, bonito y barato
Tiene algunas fallitas a la hora de conectarse, pero funciona bien, la batería dura bastante y dependiendo el dispositivo al que se conecte el lag es imperceptible.
