Top Rated Gear: Used Tentacle Sync Sync E Timecode Generator with Bluetooth, Dual Set undefined

 It's Time for The Next Generation The Sync E is small, light and extremely powerful. It takes all the good things from the original Tentacle and adds a range of funky new features, putting a world of possibilities into your hands.

For us, the Sync E is the natural successor to the original Octopode and the next logical step in its development. Bluetooth - Yes, It Works! Some of you might be thinking: why Bluetooth  The answer is simple. Most of our customers love connecting to their phones and Bluetooth is the most common and widely-used wireless technology used by almost all of them. You already have cable independence in the palm of your hands. Battery  Each Sync E comes with Bluetooth low energy built-in. You can monitor and setup with ease and battery life is up to 35 hours. A bit like a fitness armband. Connectivity  Forget the old phone/car radio connectivity problems. Simply hold your phone close to your Tentacle Sync E to link it with your app. Monitoring  Tentacles don't have a built-in display - and that's just how we like it. The best user-interface is your phone. Now you can use it to monitor and setup your Tentacle Sync Es with a frame-accurate timecode display, without the need for any additional equipment. Accuracy  We've been tweaking Tentacle algorithms to such an extent that your Tentacle setup app can tell you with frame accuracy how well your Octopodes are syncing. Future  Every Tentacle acts as a master and broadcasts timecode independently via Bluetooth. This means in theory every mobile device can make use of this timecode, opening up a whole world of seamless connectivity without needing any new technology - straight out of the box. Built-in Microphone - More Than Scratching The Surface Connecting timecode equipment to the mic input of a DSLR-type camera cuts off the internal audio. Tentacle Sync E is the only solution on the market which comes with a high-quality built-in 'scratch' mic. This lets you record both timecode and ambient sound simultaneously with one device. You Good-locking Clamp You What locks a connector when the connector locks but isn't a locking connector  A clamp. The 3.5mm mini jack is without a doubt the most common and versatile connector in the world. And with our new clamp it's now become lockable, meaning you don't need to buy any non-standard, unusual cables or connectors. It's designed around you, not us. Full Software Included Every Tentacle unit comes with a fully full featured version of Tentacle Sync Studio (macOS) which enables you to sync your material with just a click. It works with nearly any kind of timecode, even if you have used a competitor's timecode technology.

The best

Excellent sync. When using Blackmagic 6k Pro, I recommend putting the timecode on an audio track, and have Resolve pull from that. The Timecode metadata always seems a couple frames off.

Hint for BMPCC 6k Pro

This is spot on accurate, and it works great paired with my Z Cam E2 S6 (using the Z Cam time code adapter) and my ZOOM F6! I can now capture video/audio and feel confident that the files will easily sync up in DaVinci resolve. Or any other editor for that matter. The Tentacle Sync E is a game changer that makes for a happy workflow!

The Tentacle Sync E is reliably awesome

Great unit

These are incredible units. They work without issue and save so much time.

Top quality

Does what it says and is pretty easy to figure out. Saves a ton of time in post and frees the camera from the sound recording.

Tentacles are Like the extra arms you need

I love this lens. I use it on a Blackmagic Pocket camera. The best bargain for a wide shot out there.

Rokinon 24mm T1.5 Cine Lens for Micro Four Thirds System on Blackmagic

With the tentacle sync, filming interview has never been easy.

Made my life 10x easier

The ultimate time saving tool for syncing multiple cameras and audio. Plug 'em in, bluetooth to sync, drop the footage into their proprietary software and start editing. Genius.

Tentacle Sync is mandatory equipment for multi-cam jobs

Great product

Precise timecode generator jams a Zoom F6 that can then be disconnected from the Tentacle that consequently connects to the DSLR via 3.5mm trs audio input in perfect sync wirelessly. Bluetooth allows monitoring timecode on phone app. As of this writing, Adorama was the only vendor with inventory. Alas, the cold shoe bracket at additional cost seems essential.

Accurate

Amazingly simple to use. The first setup for four devices took less than 5 minutes and then we were shooting with 3 cameras and 1 audio being fed timecode. Brought all the clips into DaVinci Resolve and with 2 clicks everything was on a synced timeline.

So easy for a great price

The Tentacle Sync E is the best timecode generator.  But Adorama had it in-stock, when no one else did.  Plus, it was delivered on time which is shocking in a market where 1 week late is expected

This is the third one that I have purchased.  Having the Tentacle on my two cameras and my sound source makes editing and syncing a breeze. And Adorama was the only place that had them in stock.  I noticed other sellers on the internet had started charging 50% more than the retail!
Thanks, Adorama.

good choice

Best time code generator

Really easy to use and syncs audio perfectly.  Saves a ton of time post production.

With every penny!

Very easy to use, I?ll be adding more t my kit.

Sync made easy.

These are a game changer! I sync up the SYNC Es with my TRACK E (audio recorder) before doing my pov street photography shoot and can record with both my INSTA 360 ONE R, my EOS R5, and my audio without the headache of post editing.(syncing audio and video in post)

Now it is very important to note that SYNC E inserts timecode INTO devices and does not record audio itself. You can however insert timecode  into an audio recorder with multiple channels for easy audio to video sync. Or just use the TRACK E which has BUILT in time code and is also itself a audio recorder with 32 float (raw format for audio)

Headache Remover!!

This product is amazing! I wish I knew about it sooner. It handles mixed frame rates with no issue. It's incredibly easy to use. The apps are to the point and its simplicity makes it a breeze to operate. They're portable, lightweight, and I love the color bands to differentiate them. You can change the name of each unit via Bluetooth which helps identify them. This works with audio-only files as well as videos which helps a lot to sync my audio recorder with video clips. The battery lasts an incredibly long time. The only two criticisms I have is for there to be a cold shoe mount and a mic/line in. If you want to use this in conjunction with another audio source, you'll have to get an L/R splitter. Other than that, I LOVE this thing and plan to get more when I can. One bonus feature I discovered is that in my audio recorder, if I have it recording to one of the tracks, the software will recognize the other tracks recorded were at the same time from the device and will insert timecode into them, even though they are not the track that had timecode inserted. For example, on my Zoom H6, I input Tentacle Sync to track 3. When I used the software to export the audio files with timecode inside, it added timecode to tracks LR, 1, 2, and 4 as well. Pretty awesome!

Nearly perfect. 100% recommend.

Worked great right out of the box, but turns out Tricaster strips timecode out when you export ProRes files for use in Davinci Resolve.

Great product, easy to use

Awesome product! I didn?t know how much I needed these!

Perfect Sync

Works perfectly - just need to save up to buy more...

Will buy more!

I bought these Tentacle devices to sync three video cameras and an external audio recorder. Setup was a cinch using the Android app and charging is easy via the USB-C connection. Battery life is more than sufficient for a day long shoot. Conforming the time code and video on a PC using the Timecode Tool again was pretty straight forward. IMport into Premiere and sync to timecode! Done in less time and more accurately than Red Giant Pluraleyes 4 did!

Must have Timecode device!

Fantastic. Had these for years. Work flawlessly with everything from recorders to cameras, from Zoom, SD, BMD, Red to Arri, et al. Just get the right cables. Battery life is amazing and they charge fast (you could forget to charge, and put on either a battery bank or wall charger and they will charge probably before you've finished your morning poo).

Fantastic!

A handy, flexible device that works exactly as advertised. They worked great on the first shoot after I bought them and they’ll continue to work great in the future I’m sure! Easy interface and instructions, and amazingly long daily battery life before a recharge is needed. Highly recommended.

A great product that does the job

PROS: Simple & effective. App works well. Batteries have held up for all day shoots. Small unit saves space on camera rig. 

CON : I can’t get scratch audio from the built in microphone. I spoke w tech support. Apparently it only works with power from typical DSLR 3.5mm inputs. 
Cameras like C200 will only receive L channel audio TC + nothing in R channel.

I’m not mad at it...

Almost weightless compared to an older one. Easy Bluetooth sync. Should be perfect.

Should be perfect

These are incredible little Timecode boxes that will keep your devices in sync and ready for post. The battery last a long time and they come with very helpful bluetooth iphone/android features for setting up devices. Easy to setup and use. I highly recommend them. Great value.
