Bit Part has announced five new products and updates ahead of NAB 2026. bitbox max delivers extreme camera control range for creators, cinema, and broadcast pros, with 4x the RF output to punch through walls, vehicles, and dense sets. bitbox mini-c brings modern USB-C connectivity and power delivery to the world’s smallest wireless camera control radio. bit.ctrl is a new controller app for Sony VENICE. Plus, there is bitbox utility software and firmware 2.0.
bitbox max
bitbox max has four times the RF output power, now up to 1W. Bit Part’s most powerful camera control radio punches through walls, through vehicles, and through the most congested RF environments on Earth.
The original bitbox delivers remote cinema and broadcast camera control with profound range. bitbox max takes it further. It quadruples the RF output power — from 0.25 W to up to 1 W — in a machined aluminum
enclosure weighing under 100 g. Where the standard bitbox excels in environments too challenging for WiFi, bitbox max defies limits: reliably piercing signal through walls, vehicles, sprawling studio complexes, and on exterior locations when distances are extreme.
One SKU. Anywhere in the world. A unified 860–930 MHz frequency range with three automatically selected RX filter positions — 868 MHz for Europe, 915 MHz for North America, or full bypass — means rental houses and international productions carry one item. The radio firmware handles filter selection automatically based on the active channel, rejecting adjacent cellular interference without touching a single setting.
Field-replaceable antennas swap between omni and directional configurations without tools. Higher output power also means smaller antennas are viable for tighter camera builds —without sacrificing range. Power input accepts 11–36 V via 2-pin Lemo or 5 V USB-C, with 7.5 W USB-C passthrough from the Lemo input to charge connected tablets.
bitbox mini-c
bitbox mini-c takes the world’s smallest wireless camera control radio and makes it even simpler with USB-C in, so everything works.
At 49 g, bitbox mini is already the smallest and lightest wireless camera control radio available. bitbox mini-c replaces the original mini’s Ethernet port with a USB-C port — integrated Ethernet chipset included. Many cameras can power the device directly from their data port — one cable, no adapters. When powered via its 2-pin Lemo connector, the mini-c delivers up to 7.5 W to a USB-C connected tablet or phone — the full bitbox power architecture, now in a 49 g package.
The mini-c also adds base mode support, creating new workflow possibilities previously unavailable in this form factor. In any bitbox deployment, one radio operates as the “base” for connected “remote” radios. Unlike the Ethernet bitbox mini, which is remote-only, the mini-c can serve as a base for up to two additional radios.
Its housing is injection molded from 60% post-consumer recycled plastic with a machined 7075-T6 aluminum mounting plate. No software to install, no proprietary controller to buy, no recurring cost.
Both products — bitbox max and bitbox mini-c — are built on the bitbox platform: zero-configuration, transparent Ethernet bridging; push-button pairing; sub-five-second boot; no internal batteries; no subscriptions; and compatibility with ARRI, RED, Sony, SmallHD, Phantom, Semote, CyanView, and any IP-based control system. bitbox max will carry a suite of global regulatory testing and approvals, including FCC, ISED, CE, MIC, KC, and RCM. bitbox mini-c, like bitbox and bitbox mini, will be available in both FCC/ISED and CE versions.
bit.ctrl for macOS & iPadOS
bit.ctrl for macOS and iPadOS will give Sony VENICE users a camera control interface they’ll love. Faster and more reliable, the native app uses a mere fraction of the bandwidth and includes support for multi-camera automation. Available now in public beta and soon in the App Store.
bitbox utility software & firmware 2.0
bitbox utility software and firmware 2.0, both free, will enable advanced radio configuration management. Users can manually control device pairing, enable remote radios to roam between multiple base stations, and configure radio frequency settings for use in controlled RF environments. All of these settings will be accessible on macOS and Windows through the bitbox utility software. Additional features entering public beta soon are being previewed, including live connection status monitoring and spectrum analysis.
Pricing & Availability
bitbox max will retail at $1,599 USD and will be delivered late summer 2026. A $500 USD trade-up credit will be available through CineGear Expo, in June
bitbox mini-c will retail at $649 USD and is expected to ship in June. Both are on display at NAB Show 2026. Units can be reserved starting this week at bitpart.com.
