What the thread found

• Simultaneous signal dropout of both wireless video transmission and wireless focus control at distances beyond 10 feet may indicate either interference from other nearby wireless systems or inadequate shielding in one of the devices.
• Teradek Bolt units with manual frequency selection capability can potentially avoid interference by switching to alternative operating frequencies in the user's location.
• Redrock follow focus systems have been reported to experience poor range and intermittent signal loss when used near other wireless systems, suggesting possible RF leakage from inadequate shielding.
• Testing in multiple locations with the same problem recurring indicates the issue is not specific to environmental interference at a single site.

Depends on

• The exact band and frequency selection of the Teradek unit was not specified.
• No information provided about what other wireless systems may have been present in either location.
• The specific mounting configuration of the Teradek Bolt was not detailed.
• No resolution to the problem was documented in the discussion.
• The claim about Redrock focus control shielding is based on anecdotal experience rather than testing.
