Hi Zilly,

Try the flash centre. They used to rent them out last year.

I have been experimenting with one which has been loaned to me to test. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to try and answer them for you.


All the best,

Adrian...

kool cheers

my main concern is that its going to fail horribly for what i want.

im shooting a drag race event the track and pit are split by a soil embankment. my stall is going to be directly behind this bank probably no more than 40m in a straight line will this work

also (very stupid question) how easy is it to set up as im not going to have time to faff around with tempremental kit

Cheers

Mine worked at that distance through brick walls, but the throughput speed drop to about 6MBPS. - Best thing is to go there before the event and experiment.

Setup is fairly easy if you know how to set-up a home network.

I set my test piece up in about 20 mins - I gave up using the auto detect settings and input everything manually. (SSID, IP Address, Mask, Gateway, DNS Server...etc) the nice thing is that you can set-up with a PC/Mac or directly in camera. You can then SAVE a "NPROFILE.NIF" file on your CF /SD Card and transfer the settings to many cameras. You can then be up and running in seconds!


All the best,

Adrian...

You should be able to deal with the basic setup of the system anywhere and then just mimic your test setup at the track.

You don't do to a duel without knowing how to shoot a gun beforehand.

Enjoy! Lon

Like londuck states, you can set up at home.

Here is some more info I posted on another thread which may help too.
