[@_mokoa]

can we just take time to appreciate whoever went in and added sound effects to all the plugging in and removing of cables and such

[@HardcoreMontages]

I loved the magazine reload sounds everytime he plugged something in xD

[@troybeardjr]

Me too! but I think I did because I'm high ;)

[@bmxisgoodforyou]

Troy Beard Jr. If it aint kush it ain't in my life.

[@KenshTown]

So yeah guys i just made mine but i dont think the connections are working because the i can't hear a gun being loaded? Any help plz

[@Cinematographer_brenton]

holy crap i love finding old videos again, so much time has passed!

[@jaskolp]

You guys make some of the best behind-the-scenes and DIY!

[@Jhoofnail]

Awesome! I've been meaning to build one of these but had no idea where to start. Can't wait to set one up!

[@NorthCoastIndie]

I saw this video when I was 13 - now I do 1st AC work and use wireless monitors daily. So grateful to have found your channel back then :)

[@EthanVillanueva]

I saw that you had a wireless monitor in the BTS of Shock Troopers and I was so into it, I looked up so many cheap options for how to make one or buy one. Thank you for uploading this...FINALLY!

[@BrianVFX]

Haha someone went all out with the sound effects, they made the video just that much better

[@TigerXtrm2]

Wireless HDMI? Oh... sir you have just blown my mind and transformed my living room TV setup.

[@ipie13579]

I love that you guy's are doing more of these tutorial videos!

[@FultonLMiller]

As awesome as this video is from a filming perspective, the best tip I took out of this was the wireless HDMI gaming setup. That looks sick!

[@pharmit24]

Where can i get the Wireless HDMI?! :O

[@cliffibom]

Amazon. He just said it in the video

[@HeyJD123]

TheKingskates What if Amazon doesn't ship to where you live?

[@CorridorCrew]

Just updated the description with a bunch of links!

[@pharmit24]

samandniko Hi Sam! or Niko.

[@barend726]

google it. cause google is your friend

[@KyleCulver]

I chuckled a bit after hearing the gun sound effects. Nice touch.

[@CartoonCorey]

Ha, I love the gun loading sound effects you added. You guys are really helpful! I'm glad that as you continue making films, you still come up with really thrifty ideas like this!

[@caleblovings8507]

Yooooooo I love these dudes I'm a huge fan I was just researching PCs completely unconnected and found the seven year old video, it's lit !

[@eirikurbjorn]

Best editing ever.

[@lyingpancake95]

Love them gun sound effects :P

[@TheMonthlyJack]

Same!

[@ExploreRealms]

Some hectic Camera-ception at the end there Niko

[@VinWeathermon]

nicely done....was looking for the wireless monitor for just doing presentations but this gives me a good start...

[@Jeetish]

Those cylindrical power jacks are apparently "Coaxial Power Connectors" or as I've always known them as "barrel jacks". Those airsoft connectors are known as Tamiya connectors, and you seem them in R.C. vehicles and robotics as well. Also I like generous usage of tape, gaffer tape, electrical tape, only I'm surprised no duct tape.

[@XanceMRevola]

The video everybody was waiting for, then forgot about, since the Shock Troopers BTS.

[@BfoSHIZnats]

I'm so jealous of Niko getting to use a RED camera and having the time to do and make all of his awesome videos while still gaming hard.

[@GuardianFilmworks]

Excellent video. Im glad I ran across it. This will come in super handy for when you have a camera on a jib!

[@MoralRichMedia]

Nice tips! Love the gaff tape pouch! (clever)....and the fact that every connection you made sound like you were cocking a gun lol ;)

[@JuggernautJak]

Amazing video niko keep up the great work! You guys should post more of your amazing camera set ups!

[@4orkast]

@ 2:55 lmao. "You can get these cables pretty much anywhere... Amazon. Google. The Internet..."

[@JuliusBurton]

Got to love the sound effects! :D

[@SullyCortez]

I know this is a super old video but this rig IS genius, cost effective and it works. Flawlessly. I was just wondering does the CPM Tools rig fit a 7inch monitor like the IKan VK7i or is it made for 5"inch monitors?

[@FULLofJOHN]

So you can output 4k and higher and the Nyrius will still display it as downscaled 1080p? Considering getting this for my A7s II

[@perpetualjon]

OMG the sound effects are hilarious!!

[@harrytraherne5146]

Hi Sam and Niko, I was wondering whether there are any tips you can give me to starting a KZbin channel. Your a big inspiration to me and love all your works ( especially After DayZ)

[@Legojake94]

wireless hdmi.. = cheap steambox?

[@fireyblackdragon]

if all you would use your steambox for is the streaming capability: sure. if you wanted to use the steambox for gaming, which it was designed for: nope. You would still need a wireless controller as well

[@Corridor]

fireyblackdragon Or wireless mouse and keyboard. Some of them can be a bit laggy though.

[@legendp2011]

hello, I am speaking to you from the future.......amazing right.......anyways, there is now this thing called the "Steam link", that streams your games for cheap

[@tyleredgeworth5942]

Thanks man, I just finished mine and it works great

[@anundo]

Does it come with the cool sound effects? Or do I have to make them myself too?

[@onjofilms]

Thanks man, that is cool. Building one now. Only problem I got is when I plug in my plugs they don't make the same sound as yours. I must be doing something wrong.

[@Chaupt72]

Thanks so much for making these videos! It really helps :) Please consider making an in-depth color correcting/grading tutorial. I know Niko uses Davinci Lite Pro (according to your Workflow video), but could you please make an in-depth video explaining your color correcting / grading process?

[@QuillPictures]

2 Questions: 1. How are you connecting the transmitter to your Red? Are you using a female to male HDMI cable? 2. What is the name of the "USB to little round cylinder" cable that powers the receiver? A link would be helpful! Thanks, Mike

[@KIRROFF]

Any link for those cables that sounds like reloading magazines when connecting em?

[@CFireOnline]

it is not reloading, it's SFX in post

[@KIRROFF]

really? common be honest, really?

[@CFireOnline]

KIRROFF i'm not sure if you are sarcastic, or just genuine

[@PVPonTubeYou]

CFireOnline Lol!

[@jeffersonvanbrielle124]

LOL

[@Enzait]

Sweet sound effects

[@jjgunt]

you guys are awesome I'm never gonna be as good as you!

[@KingdomJackFantasy]

Really nice and informative. Ive been thinking about getting one of those wireless hdmi thingies for my gaming systems. But I thought that the latency would be bad for gaming. Are you telling me that this actually works? Any opinions?

[@NDJ31]

Would be nice if you have a 3dprinter around , so you can print the ultimate rig :D

[@CTSSTC]

Wauw how did I run across one of my favorite channels while searching for an answer to a tech question lol

[@aperson4640]

samandniko Did you test the receiver with cell phone charging batteries? I've tried three and none of them work. My receiver works when plugged into an outlet but batteries make the power light flicker as if it's being under powered. Could you please try an external cell phone battery to verify that it works and if it does, tell me which one you used?

[@monkeeproduction]

Did you end up getting it working? My issue I'm having is the output power. According to Nyrius the output must be 5V/2A ... which most charging batteries output is 5V/1A. Therefore my system is under powered. Any solution?

[@austingraham9867]

+Tina Hoang some usb connectors are cheap and use wiring too small to supply enough amperage from the battery. So get a higher gauge usb connector that can handle a higher amperage and if that doesn't work try a different 5v 2A battery.

[@andrewcopple7075]

Lol the sfx choices are hilarious...

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

The proper name for the airsoft connectors is molex adapter.

[@EFOREH]

samandniko I almost went all out on a Teradeck Bolt setup about a year ago. Probably would've got some Video Split credits and payed work. Oh well, TO THE DRAWING BOARD!!!

[@XanceMRevola]

7:13 Niko telling us something he realized long after he had found the D-Tap connector

[@iDueDelGame]

Thanks for the advice !!!you guys are the best!!! From Italy

[@SmokyBarret]

Not that I would need one, but there's no link in the description at all about these things :D

[@gr8oldrepublic]

Shoutout to the reloading sound effects XD

[@RaidenWarbound]

Hey samandniko, I was wondering - is it possible to transmit video from an android phone via MHL 3.0 and then rigging it up to a wireless HDMI transmitter to a tablet acting as a field/monitor receiver? I'm doing a video with my Xperia Z2 and wnat to output a live feed to my Xperia Z2 tablet.

[@EdwardDrachenbergJr]

Great info, Thanks Niko! Also I loved the gun sounds :)

[@08bartu]

Links in the description? ;)

[@BlackMarketHumour]

all batteries are DC (Direct Current) and all house power is AC (Alternating Current). The "bricks" that you see on a lot of power cables for things like laptops, are only there to transfer AC into DC. Therefore, a battery will always be a little more efficient for powering electronics.

[@RalfeOrtiz]

Wonder how you can set this up on a BMCC camera or cameras with sdi ports. I don't know if you can find an sdi to hdmi cable? Hmmm

[@4thkindentertainment]

Will this work if you connect the transmitter to another monitor through the HDMI out? I have an Atomos that I want to be wired into the camera, but having a 2nd monitor that is wireless would be nice.

[@AirsoftReviewerHD]

Great video! Where do you get your sound effects from?

[@vitos1k]

Lilliput monitors actually has those backplates that allow you to plug in Sony battereys , which can work up to 12 hours :) Also there is (wireless HDMI) GIGABYTE Skyvision WS100 at amazon which costs 115$ Boooyah, save another 130$ :) I actually build my wireless follow focus with wireless HDMI monitoring :)

[@AshraldRails]

*first 20 second, 300 - 500* nope, i'm out

[@PAPERSCHOOL]

Be interesting if you could develop an iphone/ipad app that would connect to some receiver into the camera, then you have your monitor ready to go. Might start working on that right now :p

[@QadamProductions]

Doesn't the built-in LCD display on the DSLR turn off if I plug in the HDMI cord from the camera to the transmitter? I want to see what I'm shooting, as well as let someone else see wirelessly.

[@vitos1k]

Use 2 displays :) There are Lilliput monitors that has HDMI IN and OUT, so you plug your HDMI out of camera into HDMI IN in monitor, and then connect your HDMI transmiter to the HDMI OUT on the display, and voila you got your oncamera display aswell as remote wireless display. Or if you don't have two hdmi ports on your monitor, you can buy HDMI splitter 1-to-2, this thing costs 50$

[@Bum5GHTKrew]

didn't know y'all had a channel other than cd instant subscribe!

[@SezzesStuff]

Looks nice

[@Fastshadow69]

Do something on camera rigs!

[@FlowCreators1]

Lmaoo I'm dying laughing throughout this video with al the sound fx.

[@y788lhjk1]

also check that the battery is dc (they usually need dc) If ac is needed use ac.

[@n.i.c.k.f.l.e.t.c.h.e.r]

Thanks Niko!!

[@stacker55]

i dont understand why you didnt use the huge laptop battery to power both the screen and the reciever

[@Andy001z]

Great vid guys.

[@CornOffTheCobb]

Hey guys. So I pretty much have all of the things you mentioned in the video already besides the transmitter and receiver. The thing is I mainly shoot on my Black Magic rig which only has SDI out. I use Red bricks for external power to the camera as well as an on board external monitor. (Shoulder Rig) So how would I go about getting this to work by SDI instead of HDMI?

[@lachlancrossan9909]

Blackmagic has SDI to HDMI converters, try and keep to the same brand.

[@Fultumytugg]

You should sell these! You would make a lot of money!

[@dububee]

You are just too awesome

[@AdmiralMaur]

Hahah, love your audio effects here

[@MedicenChang]

What about a cheap SD version just for monitoring the framing

[@PobtxhaXyooj]

Very useful thank you for sharing!

[@philosophymeetcomedy]

Thank you so much! This is amazing!

[@vbfl920]

So, can this unit transmit 1080:24, 30, and 60 FPS? The same for 720 as well?

[@kenny.bender]

yep

[@TheNashvilleJason]

link is out of date. specifically the battery.

[@sparticus214]

Can I add a paribolic and ferrite or is a Tesla coil the best option.

[@JIMMY_NEMESIS]

have you guys tried any 3axis gimbal rig? whats ur thought on it ,maybe a video ! thanks

[@ThisGameIsTopNotch]

Just wondering if a tablet or ipad would work with this setup

[@Reckless150681]

If you built an impact shield for your camera and if you have an aerial cam, you can have a UAV in airsoft games :D

[@WarTornProductions]

THANK YOU! :D

[@danielleal1705]

awesome! man, how can I connect another monitor for the live view in a dslr? thanks!

[@Tis4Tony]

wow.. thats pretty useful, thanks for this!

[@Bodycomp101]

Hi, will the wireless lcd rig hold a 7 inch tablet?

[@cinemasoldier1939]

I know how to build the system but I just don't know how the camera actually connects!? Someone please reply!

[@MrFOuadsb]

what is the sound pack that you are using ??

[@elevenstars100]

if i buy an aries pro US and i want to use it in EU will i need a voltage converter even if i will use it only with powerbank?

[@DanMcKay]

It wasn't gun sounds, he just amplified the sounds made when he used the connectors and stuff

[@LukeBatemanPhoto]

I've been using that monitor for ages. making it wireless would be SO helpful. one question though, With DSLRs, I shoot on a 5D MK II when a plug is in the HDMI plug the screen on the back is not used. wouldn't that create an issue with framing when running the camera?

[@BramoHD]

You could maybe try using a splitter and a second screen on your 5D ;)

[@LukeBatemanPhoto]

If only I had that much money.

[@QurttoRco]

Is there a reason why using a battery bank is a bad idea?

[@Kabo0se5]

The nirius will stop working after about 8 months of use. At least mine did.

[@EricKerkhoven]

Thanks for this awesome video! :D

[@JoseRigel]

i was planning to make this for game streaming

[@jesmarlesmar]

Thank you Conan O'Brien, very useful. I will get those batteries and other ingrediants from The Internet. Kthnx!

[@stephanvanderwoerd4405]

But on the reciever batterie next to the small cilinder conector there is an USB output can you use that aswell to power the reciever

[@infinityac]

if you have a canon,Nikon and I think Sony DSLR you don't need this cause you can connect to the camera with a tablet or a phone
