Why this model
Our most requested rental model. The reasons are simple.
The DP1400 is an industry standard. Twenty years of film shoots, festivals and construction sites have gone through this radio. Thirty seconds to learn, steady reliability in continuous use, real toughness year after year.
On battery life, we prefer to be precise. The Motorola spec sheet states 18.5 hours with the optional 2250 mAh battery. We ship the original 1600 mAh battery: in normal use, count on about 8 hours. For longer days, we add spare batteries to the kit.
Two versions to choose from, analogue or digital DMR. Same body, same accessories, same handling. DMR brings cleaner audio on noisy sites. We point you to the version that suits your setup.
Sixteen channels, one rotary knob, one PTT. A radio anyone can use in thirty seconds...
Every radio ships programmed on your frequencies, battery charged, antenna fitted. On delivery, the setup is operational straight away.
