Garmin Bc Wireless Backup Camera

if your wireless unit fails you, this is your backup.

BC is G2G

Great little backup in my bag for wireless boom mic using Rode Wireless Go

on my backup camera everything nothing

Works great in my Garmin.

Wireless is great until there's a problem. That's why I always carry backup cords to a shoot on location.

Works just as well as my notebooks internal wireless card. It makes a good backup solution.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room first; no, the BC-W235 does not include a USB charger or cable. I don't care because my Fuji X-T4 camera came with a 15-watt USB charger and cable that seemed to work fine with this item. If you do not have the OEM charger, then I recommend that you use any good quality 20-watt or greater USB charger with an appropriate 20-watt cable. Smaller chargers and cables will work but will greatly increase the charging time and do not appear to charge 2 batteries simultaneously. The BC-W235 battery charger worked perfectly for me. I inserted a Watson battery (0%) and my Fuji OEM battery (60%) and they simultaneously charged to 100% in less than 2 hours with no overheating. The display was easy to read and indicated the charging progress for each battery in 5% increments. I have multiple batteries and don't like the idea of tying up my camera to charge the spares, so this Fujifilm battery charger will be a very useful accessory for me.

I purchased the BC-166 ball head to replace an older, lighter-weight ball head on my heavy tripod in the studio. I wanted a ball head that would hold a lot of weight, but be easy to adjust. The Oben really fits the bill. I don't think I will ever exceed the 66 pound capacity of this head; but that much capacity makes for rock-steady locked-down performance. The controls are simple to set up and use, it stays put where you point it, with any combination of camera and lens I've tested so far--what more could you ask for? The only negative thing I have found falls under the personal preference category. The BC-166 is definitely made to be controlled and adjusted with your right hand. I am ambidextrous, and I'm used to keeping my right hand on the camera in shooting position while I adjust my other, older ball head with my left hand. After a few minutes practice, I'm getting used to reaching around the head to access the knobs with my left hand while I hold the camera on target with my right. Not an insurmountable problem, just different than what I'm used to.

Without the BC-TRV you need to use your camera to charge a spare battery. So you can't use a battery and charge a battery at the same time. I've been caught out so many times when travelling. The BC-TRV solves this by giving you an off camera charging solution.... Excellent as always!!
