The Hollyland Mars 400S Pro is a streamlined wireless video transmission system designed for crews that need dependable HD links, quick setup, and flexible monitoring across narrative, commercial, and live workflows. It delivers up to 1080p60 transmission with low latency engineered for responsive operation, making it well suited to handheld, gimbal, steadicam, and small studio builds where timing and framing precision are essential. With a rated line-of-sight range up to 400ft, it covers typical stages, locations, and video village setups without adding excessive weight or complexity to the camera.

Connectivity is production-ready. The transmitter accepts SDI and HDMI inputs, while the receiver offers SDI and HDMI outputs, bridging cinema cameras, mirrorless bodies, switchers, and director’s monitors without additional converters. This dual-format I/O makes it easy to interface with DIT carts, on-camera recorders, and client displays, keeping signal paths simple and reliable. With app-based monitoring, departments can tap into the feed on mobile devices when needed, expanding visibility beyond a single hardware receiver and reducing hardware duplication across stations.

Signal stability benefits from smart channel scan, which helps the system identify cleaner frequencies at startup and provides visual guidance so teams can switch channels when environments become crowded. For sound-critical sets, adjustable fan modes let crews balance cooling with quiet operation during interviews and narrative dialogue. Clear status screens on both units provide at-a-glance confirmation of channel selection, link health, input format, and power, minimizing setup errors and speeding troubleshooting.

Power and mounting are flexible for fast rig changes. Both TX and RX support L-series batteries, DC input, and USB-C power, allowing quick adaptation to cameras, rigs, monitors, and carts. An integrated cold shoe with a 1/4-inch thread makes mounting straightforward without extra brackets. The compact chassis and low mass maintain good balance on gimbals and lightweight mirrorless builds, while leaving room for follow focus motors and wireless audio.

In real production use, the system’s low-latency HD feed aids focus pulling with clearer edge detail and smoother gradations, helping first ACs judge critical sharpness on fast lenses. Supported HD frame rates fit common cinema and broadcast pipelines, and the combination of SDI and HDMI I/O ensures that mixed camera fleets can connect without reconfiguring carts or swapping adapters under time pressure. With app-enabled viewing, directors, clients, and script supervisors can see the same picture, improving continuity and keeping notes aligned without crowding around a single monitor.

Typical scenarios include director’s monitoring for performance notes, mobile gimbal links for framing and blocking, client village previews during agency sessions, and two-station distribution where both DIT and director need independent outputs. The 400ft line-of-sight coverage is practical for compact location sets and studio builds, and the system’s setup speed makes it a good fit for run-and-gun days with frequent resets.

As a camera rental partner, Unicorn Films supplies the Mars 400S Pro in ready-to-shoot wireless kits. Each package includes paired TX/RX units, spare antennas, L-series battery options, DC and USB-C power solutions, and SDI/HDMI cabling, along with quick-start pairing and app-monitoring guidance. Our knowledgeable crew aligns I/O with the selected camera and monitors, sets smart channel scan practices for the location, configures fan profiles for quiet interiors or hot exteriors, and ensures a clean, reliable path from camera to village. The aim is straightforward: hassle-free rentals that keep images sharp, links stable, and crews in sync.

For teams that value low-latency HD monitoring, robust SDI and HDMI I/O, flexible power, and app-enabled viewing in a compact package, the Hollyland Mars 400S Pro delivers practical capability without overcomplicating rigs. It tightens collaboration, supports confident focus, and streamlines on-set communication while staying light and tidy on modern camera builds.
