The Wireless Backpack - IT'S HERE

When I recently showed off the prototype I called my "Wireless Backpack," a number of you said you'd love for that solution to be publicly available. But I wasn't satisfied with the prototype. So it was back to the drawing board until I had what I wanted. This is the solution I came up with, available now at www.fzerocamera.com/plastic

Please, the industry NEEDS this 😭

Classic cheaper fix: Velcro. Soft side on your battery (or the camera)-hard side on the transmitter. It’s solid too.
On set I’d be concerned about the magnet mount being bumped and disconnecting-especially if you’re using hot glue to stick to the battery, since the whole magnetic bracket might pop off.
There being no security is the reason I wouldn’t choose this, although I like the sleek idea.
There are already small “v-mount” male and female plates that you can use for the same purpose, but they lock into place and require a release button to disconnect, making them more secure. Nato rail systems or Cinelock systems could similarly be used, but the v-mount solution might be the sleekest.

Still don' understand why no brand invented this before you did.
Perfection.

Thank you so much!

[@zephanmoses]

Love this idea. I just bought a v mount clamp for my batteries and a baby pin to 1/4-20 for my wireless transmitter yesterday. I’d be all over this to be able to just mount a battery and connect the transmitter!

[@alexisferrenbach]

Price is a little bit high for me but you came up with a great solution so well done!

[@nick_salazar]

Yeah that's a fair criticism. Pricing was calculated according to this rough idea: "I do want people to have these things. But I don't want to give my work away. And I also don't want to spend all my time printing parts and fulfilling orders. Also I will have to deal with customers if they need any help, so I want it to be worth my time." That means it may be too expensive, and I fully accept that. The #1 goal of these parts isn't to make money, but to work for me on my own projects.

If price is high just use velcro, been doing this for years.

[@marsgizmo]

great design! 👏😎

[@alzibaba]

What a great solution! Nice work Nick.

[@alexamickey]

This is brilliant, Nick! Incredible work

[@nick_salazar]

Thank you!

[@ericluna_]

omg, the hollyland is the worst transmitte to rig, thank you so much for making this

[@dantecorbett2221]

Great work!

[@JoshBirman]

Amazing! Great idea!

[@B-Moye]

Pretty genius. Love this. Subbed

[@Peak3Visuals]

Need this!!🙌🏼

[@davidmorefield]

Geeking over the ingenuity

[@nick_salazar]

Thanks David!

[@CelebratingPeople]

Thoughtfully designed :)

Amazing!

[@EdProsser]

Love it!

[@muralibalaraman]

Neat Solution Nick

[@PeterDiBussolo]

great idea

[@DroseMr]

Kickstart 🎉😊Thats cool! Thank You

[@fofopho]

Very cool

[@anamorphicalan]

nice I love it

[@pilgrimheart]

very cool

[@DianaGladney]

This is super smart Nick! Nicely done and well thought out!
I’d love to see it bundled with 2 or 3 in a kit because you know we’ll need more than just one lol 😂

[@nick_salazar]

Thanks! There’s a bundle of two, then single plates and battery sleeves.

[@DianaGladney]

@@nick_salazar Oh sweet! Not gonna lie, this is a fast gift idea! This is a bomb idea bro! Well done!

[@nick_salazar]

Thank you Diana!

[@philippscheithauer]

Are magnets on a battery and on wireless system a good idea (e.g. interference)?

[@nick_salazar]

I haven’t noticed any problems whatsoever.

[@JamesOllard]

listen, ill pay you whatever you want

[@nick_salazar]

Haha thanks James! I really appreciate the kind words.

[@MattfromTheBay]

Do the magnets interfere with the battery or wireless Tx?

[@nick_salazar]

Nope! I mentioned this in the prototype video, should have done so here as well. But inside my suburban home with a couple dozen other wireless devices, we still had rock solid transmission between the farthest two points of the home.

[@nick_salazar]

Battery is fine as well :-)

[@jiasheng3498]

will the magnet affect the equipment?

[@nick_salazar]

Nope!

[@absolutwp6496]

So Good! Any Chance to ship to Germany?

[@nick_salazar]

Yes!

[@TylerEdwards]

This is genius

[@Redm0ndFilms]

Any chance of a metal version of this?

[@nick_salazar]

Near-term, probably not. I mostly make these for myself, and I have no need for a metal one.

[@Redm0ndFilms]

@@nick_salazar any interest on providing the 3D model file to download on the site? Obviously paid with a license to self produce. I have a machine shop that I could totally make the side of aluminum

[@nick_salazar]

Another viewer asked the same question a while back. No downloadable at present, it’s something I might think about for the future though. But if you really want a set, the store is open! I have a few sets ready to ship, and I can promise you won’t be disappointed.

[@papsny]

So how is the design better than velcro? I think it's kinda steep at $85

[@nick_salazar]

If you love velcro, go for it! For me, this is far superior. For you, maybe it isn't worth it.

[@drivebystar9344]

Just sell the stl for 15$ man I guarantee you're gonna be happier.

[@nick_salazar]

Not a bad idea. I'll consider it!
