Sony 5G Data Transmitter
The Sony 5G Data Transmitter is now available for shipping. Initially announced in March, this device is designed for news agencies, photojournalists, corporate photographers, and other broadcast professionals.
Besides the big game or Olympic events, I can think of another 1/2 dozen uses cases; including reporting on wild fires, sharing photos from remote locations, and adventures like the PCT.
With the PDT-FP ($1099 from B&H), Sony continues to elevate professional workflows for broadcasting and news coverage. This innovative device enables sustained high-speed transmission from Sony cameras, offering significant benefits for live event photographers and broadcast professionals. My friend Nick Didlick has been putting the transmitter through its paces for Paris in just a few weeks. He told Alpha Universe
The PDT-FP1 allows me to transmit from where I am shooting rather than having to return to a media center,” Didlick said. “I tested it in Paris with different carriers. It worked flawlessly, allowing me to connect and upload images in real-time from various venues.
