Vaxis Storm 1000s
The Vaxis Storm 1000s is a video transmission system designed for high-end cinema, broadcast, and indie productions. It is distinguished by its internal antenna design, which reduces the risk of damage on set compared to traditional external antennas.
- Zero Latency & Uncompressed Video: Delivers uncompressed 1080p60 video with less than 1ms latency, ensuring a “zero-delay” experience critical for real-time monitoring and focus pulling.
- Transmission Range: Offers a stable line-of-sight range of up to 350 metres (1,148 feet).
- Built-in Antennas: Both the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) feature integrated high-gain antennas, making the units more compact and durable for use on gimbals or drones.
