The display was absent from the previous generation. This while also offering best-in-class range, according to the manufacturer. This unit features a shoe mount, offering a stable connection to your snapper.
The set up includes a wireless charging case that’ll provided 21 hours of battery life overall. for creators on-the-go. And that receiver will automatically power on when connected to the camera and power off when disconnected.
