Why do directors and crews favor the use of walkie-talkies for communication? Aug 30, 2024

In recent years, as an important tool for communication and coordination, walkie-talkies have frequently appeared in major popular film and TV series. It not only promotes the development of the plot, but also deepens the emotional communication between the characters.




Take a look at this image, where the orange analog 2 way radio is prominently placed on the table. The director and actors in the play are sitting on both sides of the table, and the photographer next to it also aims the camera at the walkie-talkie. This scene is from the movie《The Movie Emperor》. HYDX A800 made a stunning appearance, conveying the important role of walkie-talkies in both drama and film production in a play-within-a-play manner.

Two-way radios play a crucial role in every aspect of film production due to their immediacy, convenience, and reliability. Imagine that when the director sits in front of the monitor, looking at every shot with a sharp eye, he has the A800 walkie-talkie at his hand. It lies quietly on the table, as if it is the director's right-hand man, ready to convey his every instruction at any time.


On the fast-paced shooting set, time is extremely valuable, and instant communication is essential. Whenever the director needs to adjust the actor's position or needs the lighting, photography and other departments to respond quickly, he only needs to press the PTT button of A800 lightly, and clear and accurate instructions will be completed on the spot.




On the other end, the crew members can also carry it with them and be on standby at any time. Whether they are on a high light stand or behind a distant camera, they can use VOX mode of A800 to free their hands and receive every instruction from the director.


The shooting environment of the crew is changeable, and the durability of the walkie-talkie is crucial. The A800 walkie-talkie has become the "tumbler" in the crew with its sturdy body and durable design. Whether it is dropped, hit or used for a long time, the A800 can maintain stable performance and ensure the continuity of communication.

The 8W high-power output can cover a vast area, which is essential for large-scale sets or outdoor shooting. Compared to mobile phones, it is less likely to drop calls or have connection issues in the unstable signals of the wilderness.




The shooting scene is often noisy, but through the device's compandor function, it can provide high-definition sound quality in different environments.


In the crew, the privacy of communication is equally important. This is where the scrambler function comes into play, effectively preventing crosstalk and eavesdropping, protecting the communication security of the crew.

Long-term shooting is a huge test for the battery life of the walkie-talkie. The A800 walkie-talkie is equipped with a 2200mAh or 3000mAh (optional) large-capacity battery, which can ensure uninterrupted communication and more efficient shooting for the crew.




《The Movie Emperor》 takes us through the irreplaceable role of the HYDX-A800 walkie-talkie in the communication of film and the crew. Of course, the applicability of the HYDX-A800 walkie-talkie is far more than this. It can be seen not only in outdoor activities such as hiking and camping but also in commercial applications such as hotels/catering and logistics etc.
