not sure if it is the video, but it seems like it has a lag from the target to the sound. which would make a huge difference in the field. please let me if this is just the video or if it doe really have a lag. i am interested in wireless for my etrac. :o)

@detectingit Its the video, it wasn't like it till after I rendered it!

I'll re-do the video when I get a chance.

It works well, the only bad thing being the battery life on the transmitter.

Thanks for watching
