Vaxis Atom A5 Review – A Wireless Monitor That Records!

In this video I review the Vaxis Atom A5. As well as being a 5.5” monitor this device has the ability to transmit and receive wireless video signals as well as record HD video. I show in detail all the features this monitor offers as well as talking about my thoughts on it and who it might be a good fit for.

Wireless video systems are often used in video production to provide a director or a client with a monitor, or for use by camera assistants for remote focus pulling.

Where as you might normally invest in a monitor and wireless system separately, this unit provides both in an all in one lightweight solution saving you the need to mount, connect and power two separate devices. The unit also has the ability to record internally so there’s a lot for us to look at here!
