Spend less time thinking about setting everything up and spend more time on what you do best: being creative.Sync over bluetooth - Yes it works!
Some of you might be thinking: why Bluetooth? The answer is simple: Most of our customers don't leave home without their phones or tablet and Bluetooth is the most common and widely-used wireless technology used by almost all of them. The solution for cable-free operation is right in front of you: in the palm of your hands.- Battery. SYNC E uses Bluetooth low energy. This means, your SYNC E offers a battery life of up to 35 hours – no matter if you use it for setup, syncing or monitoring your devices.
- Connectivity. Forget the old phone/car radio connectivity problems. With Bluetooth LE you simply hold your phone close to your Tentacle SYNC E to link it with your app.
Syncing device for any video shooting
- Monitoring. Tentacle devices don’t have a built-in display – and that’s just how we like it. The best user-interface is your phone. Use it to monitor and setup your Tentacle SYNC E with a frame-accurate timecode display, without the need for any additional expensive equipment.
- Accuracy. Tentacle’s sync algorithms allow you to monitor your Octopodes with frame accuracy via the Tentacle Sync app.
- Future-proof. Every Sync E acts as a master and broadcasts timecode independently via Bluetooth. Almost every mobile device can make use of this timecode, opening up a whole world of seamless connectivity sync network without needing any new technology – straight out of the box.
More than scratching the surface - Excellent internal microphone.
Connecting timecode equipment to the mic input of a DSLR-type camera cuts off the internal audio. Tentacle SYNC E is the only solution available with a high-quality built-in ‘scratch’ mic. Record both timecode and ambient sound simultaneously with just one single device.You good-locking clamp you - Knowing your connector is secure.
Who wants to buy extra non-standard and unusual cables or connectors? Probably nobody. At least we don‘t. That‘s why we decided to add a clamp to the Tentacle SYNC E, making the connector lockable. And to make things even easier, we just used a 3.5mm mini jack – without a doubt the most common and versatile connector in the world. It’s all designed around you, not us.Features:
