Frequently Asked Questions

QuickScan does a decent job, but complex environments still benefit from manual frequency checks to avoid dropouts.
They’re quite small and unobtrusive, but careful cable management is still necessary to avoid visual clutter on camera.
The BLX system is modular, but you’ll need to purchase receivers and transmitters operating in compatible frequency bands to expand beyond the K3E band.
