I am doing lots of run and gun gorilla style shoots........ there is a lot going on and the camera man can drop into record without every saying action.

Most of the time if your paying attention you can drop into record quick enough but sometimes you can't..... and I don't want to leave the hard disk recording running constantly

so to me the ultimate set up would be to have a portable recording device, that is independent from the camera, BUT to have that devices transport be controlled by the camera without having any wires connecting the device to the camera.

Because time code is audio, and you can record it to tape, or send it through an RCA cable- to me it seems like you could transmit through a standard wireless pack (with a modified cable)

Has anybody tried this? Is it possible to transmit time code wirelessly without having it drop out every couple seconds?.... Is it even possible to successfully lock time code wirelessly for even a couple seconds?
