Godox Introduces Skytalk Air Wireless Intercom System

Godox continues its foray into new product lines with the impressive-looking Skytalk Air full-duplex wireless intercom system.

The new Skytalk Air full-duplex wireless intercom system is aimed at a wide spectrum of productions, everything from film crews to weddings and corporate.

Full-Duplex Voice Communication 

Key to its usability on set is full-duplex voice communication. This enables real-time two-way talk among connected units, rather than having to rely on the sometimes cumbersome and impractical push-to-talk methods (though PTT can be enabled if desired)

The system supports grouping multiple users on the 2.4Ghz band, which is going to be handy for bigger shoots and lets you coordinate precisely between the camera team, the lighting crew etc. Up to 5 users can be in any one call and two groups can be run simultaneously. Handily, no remote is ever locked in as a master, allowing another unit to step in in case of battery drain etc.

Audio Quality

Aiding that is a decent communications range of up to to 500 m / 1640 ft. A dual-antenna design and auto frequency-hopping should ensure a stable range even at those distances and in complex environments. Intelligent ENC for clear voice pickup keeps the audio quality high too. 

Each unit offers a 20-hour battery life powered by a 760m Ah battery, more than enough for a full day’s shoot with plenty of headroom. Recharge takes 2 hours. Weight is 207 grams / 7.3 oz with battery, meaning that you probably will be able to wear them all day too.

An accessory ecosystem includes a charging case for up to 8 batteries, a 5-unit carrying case, and more.
