Swappable radio modules

With an often congested 2.4 GHz ISM band and different frequency regulations in different countries, the ability to exchange radio modules is a huge advantage, allowing focus pullers to choose the module that best suits each shooting location. ARRI's three radio modules for the Hi‑5 cover a multitude of shooting situations with a significantly improved, robust, and long-range radio link.
