Getting to Know Hollyland

Cedric first heard about Hollyland through positive talk on online forums. Intrigued by the good reviews, he started chatting with industry pals about it.

After using various Hollyland products in his projects, like the Pyro series (Pyro H, Pyro S, Pyro 7) and the Mars series (such as the Mars M1 Enhanced), Cedric became a fan of their quality and performance.

During a recent music festival shoot, Cedric went with the Pyro S system, allowing one transmitter to connect with four receivers. It was a perfect fit for his filming needs and gave him a great user experience.

Effortless Multi-Receiver Setup

“With the new pyro series which can transmit to up to 4 receivers. That means that it is now so much easier to share a video feed, and makes for a smoother creative process on set.”

With a brand-new design, the Pyro series supports one transmitter to four receiver transmission, catering to your multi-screen monitoring needs. Equipped with the HollyView App, you can effortlessly monitor via your mobile device.

Seamless User Experience

“All Hollyland products I used were very user friendly. I have never had to look at a user manual to operate any or their tools.”

The Pyro series is designed for ready-out-of-box convenience, eliminating the need for manual pairing. With the addition of the grouping re-pair feature, you can categorize Pyro devices into the same group, enabling automatic pairing when devices within the group are powered on. This significantly reduces on-site setup time.

Featuring straightforward operating guidelines, the Pyro series is incredibly user-friendly, allowing users to start using it with minimal learning curve. Moreover, the user interface has been further optimized. With Pyro S, you can adjust frequency channels and set automatic frequency hopping directly using the up and down keys, without the need to navigate through menus, enabling quick and hassle-free configuration.

Streamlined Filming Operations

“I love how flexible and modular the products of a series are. I can use a pyro 7 as a monitor, then decide to use it as a Tx or Rx, pair it with a Pyro S or H, create groups for faster setup.”

During the R&D phase, the Pyro series was meticulously designed with seamless connectivity in mind. The Pyro H, Pyro S, and Pyro 7 models can effortlessly transmit data among themselves. The Pyro 7, in particular, combines transmitter, receiver, and monitoring functions into a single unit, fulfilling all three essential requirements in one product.

Moreover, the Pyro 7 is equipped with two shortcut keys that not only grant quick access to your frequently used functions but also enable swift switching between different camera feeds at your fingertips.

Budget-Friendly

“The price. I find Hollyland’s products to be very competitive and affordable. It brings wireless tools to many indie filmmakers, which i think is great. ”

Adhering to a customer-first principle, Hollyland is dedicated to developing products that make filming effortless, ensuring that every penny you spend is worth it.

Overall Experience

“Hollyland’s products simplify the creative process by allowing an easier way for team members to monitor the images that are being produced. Especially with the new pyro series which can transmit to up to 4 receivers. That means that it is now so much easier to share a video feed, and makes for a smoother creative process on set”
