How the Pyro 5 Enhances the Production Workflow?

Stable Connection

Built with a dual-band 2.4GHz / 5GHz transmission system, Pyro 5 automatically adapts to changing environments — delivering robust, interference-resistant video even in signal-heavy locations.

Camera Control

With the 5.5-inch touchscreen, Pyro 5 enables direct adjustments to shutter speed, aperture, focus, focus mode, white balance, and ISO, offering dynamic control over your camera’s settings.

More User-Friendly Design

The new power button design speeds up the setup process and makes powering the device on and off much more effortless.

Wrapping Up

“It allows us to communicate adjustments much faster, since everyone can clearly see what needs to be changed on the monitor.”
