Teradek has announced the new Bolt Sidekick XT & LT receivers which are compatible with all of the previous and new models (500, 1000, 3000, LT & XT)
Rather than buying another wireless video kit with a transmitter and receiver, you can just add multiple Sidekick units to work with a single transmitter. The Sidekick XT & LT both have a 500ft range with no external antennas which gives it a nice small form factor, the LT with it’s shorter height looks quite sleek mounted on a director’s monitor cage setup.
