Deity BF1 - Butterfly wideband Antenna
A butterfly antenna is a type of antenna that is used in wireless microphone systems on film sets and stage applications. It has some unique characteristics that make it well-suited for certain purposes in these contexts;
- Ultra Wideband Design
- 470MHz-1GHz
- Rugged Build Quality
- CNC Metal Mount
- 50 Ohm BNC Connector
- Omnidirectional pickup pattern
- Compact Design
The Deity Butterfly antenna is designed to have a relatively wide bandwidth. This means it can operate effectively over a range of frequencies, which can be advantageous in wireless microphone systems. Film sets often use different frequency bands for wireless microphones to avoid interference, and a broadband antenna like ours that can cover all these bands without needing frequent adjustments.
All Deity BF1 – Butterfly Antenna Features
Supports Global OneBandTM FrequenciesThe Deity Butterfly supports a ultra wideband of frequencies; 470MHz-1,000GHz. This means you have plenty of support for the Global OneBand within the THEOS ecosystem but also plenty of extra frequency bandwidth to support other brands wireless as well.
Now when you go into an antenna splitter, you can mix-n-match different blocks/bands.
Weather Sealed Housing
The BNC mount is IP65 weather sealed for situations where the butterfly antenna is being used for a permanent outdoor install.
Metal Mount Brackets
The mounting bracket is made out of CNC'ed Aluminium which provides a rugged and secure block for a 1/4" 20 threaded mounting hole.
The ball head pivot arms are also made out of 100% metal, making for a durable accessory.
*The Deity AMB1 not included
