Sync accuracy and power

A precision TCXO keeps drift below one frame over 24 hours across temperatures from -22°F to +185°F. The 2200 mAh battery runs for at least two weeks in slate mode or from 6 to 80 hours depending on brightness. Connectivity includes a 3.5 mm jack for timecode in and out plus USB-C for charging and firmware updates.

Sustained on-set operation

Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy links the unit to the Tentacle Setup App on iOS or Android for remote control and quick synchronisation. The OLED panel maintains readability with low energy draw during long shooting days. The kit is designed for continuous use in studio or location environments without frequent recharging.
