Saved me time

This was a great item to use for timecode. Save me a lot of time. The mic on the other hand not a fan of.

Easy sync and long battery life

These generators are so easy to set up and sync. Battery life is longer than most shoots. Can't rate these any higher!

A great timecode sync option, if not the best

A great option for external timecode syncing. The units themselves are lightweight but durable and the companion app makes for a very user-friendly experience. Highly recommended.

easy to set up and roll. Wish it came with a sturdier mounting bracket.

fantastic. takes a little learning curve, but super compact. I'd prefer a hardware piece for mounting onto a cage or rig, over the velcro. My only complaint.

Tentacle Sync E & Track E

The tentacle sync e & track e is a great product. It makes audio editing in post so much easier by connect video/audio via timecode. The clarity is great from the microphone. This is great for bigger productions, and for run and gun indie projects. I highly recommend this set up.

Tentacles Sync is a no-brainer

To say that the tentacle sync devices provide a simple workflow is an understatement. The app works without any problem and you don't need to be an expert on timecode or anything of that nature. These devices remove the headache from post production.

Amazing battery life

Amazing devices. The battery lasts seemingly forever. Even overnight, one of the devices still had 100% and the other was 90%+. Amazing. Buying the product also gets you a license to Tentacle Sync Studio on Mac as well, one for each device. Pretty valuable right there.

Very accurate time generators.

The units keep time very accurately. I use primarily with Black Magic cameras and with the cameras slaved to the units they will give a decent sync in Resolve. They will be off by one two frames but will be consistent and there will be no drift. The time discrepancy is a function of the cameras not the Tentacle units.

Be Sure to Update the iOS App to add New MK2 Tentacles

I bought two additional MK2 Tentacles to supplement my previous two Tentacles. Be advised that if you aren?t already using the latest iOS version of the app, you will need to update that before you can add any new Tentacles. If not updated, when trying to add the new ones the app will only say ?do not find any new Tentacles to add: here?s where you can buy some?. <smile>

This is a must for filmmakers

This saved my life. Syncing sound with video used to be so tedious and always prolonged my workflow. Now with just a sync of a button I can skip all of that headache and focus on the edit. Adorama also shipped it super fast. Got here in three days and I live across the country.

Amazing devices. The battery lasts seemingly forever. Even overnight, one of the devices still had 100% and the other was 90%+. Amazing. Buying the product also gets you a license to Tentacle Sync Studio on Mac as well, one for each device. Pretty valuable right there.

The Tentacle Sync Sync E Timecode Generator with Bluetooth is a compact, lightweight, and powerful device that elevates your audio and video synchronization experience. Building on the success of the original Tentacle, this next-generation device introduces a plethora of innovative features, all encased in a sleek, newly-designed body.

If you're familiar with the first-generation Tentacle, you'll find the Sync E equally user-friendly. It's the natural evolution of the original Octopode, taking its functionality to the next level.

One of the standout features of the Sync E is its Bluetooth connectivity. Our customers appreciate the convenience of connecting their devices wirelessly, and Bluetooth is the most prevalent technology for this purpose. With the Sync E, cable-free operation is literally at your fingertips.

The Sync E is equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy, enabling easy monitoring and setup. The device boasts an impressive battery life of up to 35 hours, comparable to a fitness armband.

The device's connectivity is seamless and straightforward. Simply bring your phone close to your Tentacle Sync E to link it with your app. The Sync E doesn't have a built-in display, and that's by design. We believe the best user interface is your smartphone, which you can now use to monitor and set up your Sync E with a frame-accurate timecode display, eliminating the need for additional equipment.

We've fine-tuned the Tentacle algorithms to ensure your Sync E app can provide frame-accurate synchronization information. Each Sync E acts as a master, broadcasting timecode independently via Bluetooth. This opens up a world of seamless connectivity, with every mobile device potentially utilizing this timecode, straight out of the box.

The Sync E is more than just a timecode generator. It's also equipped with a high-quality built-in 'scratch' microphone. This unique feature allows you to record both timecode and ambient sound simultaneously, a solution exclusive to the Tentacle Sync E.

The device also introduces a new locking clamp for the 3.5mm mini jack, the most common and versatile connector in the world. This means you don't need to purchase any non-standard cables or connectors.

Every Tentacle unit comes with a full-featured version of Tentacle Sync Studio (macOS), enabling you to synchronize your material with just a click. It's compatible with nearly any type of timecode, even if you've used a competitor's timecode technology. The Tentacle Sync Sync E Timecode Generator with Bluetooth is designed around you, for a seamless, user-friendly synchronization experience.
