Screen Customisation
Utilise the Hi-5’s customisable screen layout to display the information most relevant to your workflow (e.g., lens mapping, distance readings, battery status).
Lens Mapping
Precisely map your lenses (if they don’t have built-in encoding) for accurate distance readings and repeatable focus marks. The Hi-5 excels at storing and recalling these maps.
Radio Module Selection
The Hi-5 supports various interchangeable radio modules (e.g., RF-EMIP, RF-2400) for different environments and ranges. Select the appropriate module for your shooting location to ensure robust connectivity.
Firmware Updates
Always ensure the Hi-5 and all connected motors/interfaces have the latest firmware. This ensures optimal performance, bug fixes, and compatibility with other ARRI components.
Power Management
Take advantage of the hot-swappable batteries. Keep charged spares ready to minimise downtime during long takes or continuous operation.
