What the thread found

• BarTech operates at 900 MHz while theboxx uses 2.5 GHz and above, creating no interference between the two systems.
• Theboxx is marketed as a broadcast news ENG system rather than specifically designed for steadicam applications.
• Theboxx wireless follow focus systems are available in multiple video format configurations with prices ranging from approximately 3200 to 5200 USD depending on output type.

Depends on

• No actual field test results were completed during this discussion - one participant was waiting to receive their theboxx unit.
• Pricing information is from memory and marked as ballpark estimates without official documentation.
• The experience reported was limited to anticipation of testing rather than hands-on evaluation.
