Hollyland Mars X [Official] Wireless HDMI Video Transmitter for DSLR Camera, 300ft Long Range 0.07s Low Latency 1080P HD Video WiFi Transmission System, Up to 3 iOS and Android Devices Monitoring

I have been in the advertisement and film business for over 25 years. The past 10 years has seen an emergence of great tools we can utilize to make our art better at an affordable price. I have been using Mars 300 for my film projects but recently needed something similar that would be as effective for these films as well as for the making of its documentaries. I decided to acquire Mars X and to my delight discovered it to be both phenomenally useful and totally professional.Because Mars X is easy to connect on a cell phone or tablet, I can have my eyes on my actors while at the same time being able to see, and check in with, the work from my documentary director. In this way, Mars X works almost like an additional photographic resource during the filming of our projects, and it’s all in the palm of our hands.Not only do I recommend Mars X to beginners in the film industry, but also to veterans who are dealing with budget constraints.Alex LageRingo Films

Great build, sturdy and compact, small 1sec lag to the app receiving image and might be an issue for some.

I have been looking for something small to transmit video wirelessly in my kit. Doing shoots during the pandemic has been a whole new world. The Mars X lets me transmit to my clients so they can view footage on an iPad, and we can all social distance and keep the set safe. It's a good quality unit. I've owned a few wireless transmitters before, and this one beats them on price and features. If you're in the market for a wireless video transmitter, the Mars X is hard to beat.

At 60FPS & 1080p, connected to an XBOX S, and using the IPad Pro 12” for the monitor, the sound has a random delay between .5 and 1.5 seconds. And becomes unresponsive (the image freezes after about then minutes if streaming). Even when showing on the screen it displays a blurry image and randomly gets scan lines.This device uses its own internal internet connection when connected to an IPad. So no other devices can interfere with it. Meaning that when I’m 4 feet from the device it should work flawlessly. It does not.This is literally useless to me.

With .07 Seconds of Latency the Mars X is faster than the other options I have tried. I’m able to output to 3 of my iOS or android devices simultaneously up to 300 feet. Though I’m using much less around 20 feet. If you’re looking for something smaller to put on your DSLR or mirrorless camera, this is a great companion to give you a wireless feed. We’ve been using it to social distance on set so the producer can see what’s on camera. Really useful tool to have in the kit, plus impresses clients that they can use their own phone and watch (after downloading the app). Glad we got it.

I assumed that because my GH5 can downsample a 4k signal to 1080p this would work. Nope. I rarely work in 1080p. I prefer to downsample in post, so I'm not thrilled.Actually the problem was my new iPad Pro. I updated the software to the latest beta. Now the Mars X works.

Works great when you want just a simple monitoring solution for a client on an iPad or iPhone. It is kind of picky about what USB C cables will charge it though, so have a few on-hand.

La verdad no es tan fácil de configurar y no es tan rápido, solo adapta 1080p y hay que conectarse al wifi del equipo exclusivamente dejado fuera la posibilidad de que el iPad pueda estar en internet al mismo tiempo.Su construcción es muy buena y resistente siendo de metal.

Works great out of camera, but connected to a 7 inch monitor passthru.......it cant seem to produce an image to transmit. Also cant really get any answers to that question from hollyland, or the monitor company. Probably will return, as it isnt really usable in thet configuration... .

I bought this to use as a wireless monitor with my Canon C200 video camera. It works, but . . . I wanted to use my new iPad Pro as the monitor and the image was not as sharp as I felt it should have been. But the bigger issue was that the app kept crashing on me, to the point where it just wasn't worth the hassle. Hollyland pretty much admitted to me that the app is really still in development and some of the things I saw people doing with the app on youtube are not yet in the app available for the general public. I sent the system back for a refund.

Stay away from this- stopped working 4 months later. The Wi-Fi capability no longer works.

The device is very nice and well built, but the advertised latency is nowhere close and insufficient for what I am trying to do. For much slower work, I have no doubt this is a great solution for people but if you're need more speed, then this device is insufficient.

Unfortunately, compression artifacts are very ugly even when at close range on a clear WiFi channel. They are visible with any motion, panning, exposure change, etc. This is disappointing. A dedicated WiFi channel should be able to provide at least as clear a signal as a YouTube video over the same network. My guess is that this isn't a network issue, but the hardware isn't up to delivering the quality of compression that pros need to accurately monitor their image.
