Hold onto your cameras, filmmakers! Hollyland has just revealed the Pyro 7, a significant upgrade to their popular Mars M1 Enhanced wireless monitor. This new iteration boasts a larger 7-inch screen and promises enhanced capabilities for streamlining your on-set workflow.
Seeing the Bigger Picture:
The most noticeable change in the Pyro 7 is its screen size. Upgrading from the M1’s 5.5 inches, the Pyro 7 offers a spacious 7-inch display, providing a clearer view of your footage while directing or monitoring a shoot. This increased screen real estate is particularly valuable for focus pullers, directors, and anyone requiring a more detailed picture.
Enhanced Connectivity and Flexibility:
The Hollyland Pyro 7 builds upon the M1’s foundation, offering a robust feature set. Here’s what you can expect:
- SDI and HDMI In/Out: Connect to a wider range of cameras and recording devices with the Pyro 7’s support for both SDI and HDMI signals.
- Dual-Band Wi-Fi: Experience a more stable and reliable connection with the Pyro 7’s dual-band Wi-Fi technology.
- Power Options: Power the Pyro 7 via Sony NP-F batteries or a 10-18V DC input, ensuring flexibility on set.
A Familiar Workflow, Evolved:
If you’re familiar with the Hollyland Mars M1, transitioning to the Pyro 7 will be a breeze. The core functionality remains similar, including features like automatic dual-band frequency hopping for reduced interference, 4K/30fps transmission capabilities, and the ability to connect one transmitter to up to four receivers (including mobile devices running the Hollyland app).
Is the Hollyland Pyro 7 Right for You?
The Hollyland Pyro 7 is an excellent choice for filmmakers, videographers, and anyone who requires a reliable and portable wireless monitoring solution. The larger screen size, enhanced connectivity options, and familiar user experience make it a compelling upgrade over the Mars M1. However, with limited information on pricing and availability (expected in 6-9 months), it’s worth considering your budget and timeline before pulling the trigger. Stay tuned for further updates and potential reviews as the Hollyland Pyro 7 approaches its release date.
