Ghost Kits solves the connectivity challenge for remote camera-to-cloud workflows with a portable cellular hotspot that switches dynamically between carriers and creates a local wireless network for cameras on set. This device promises to be the missing link for productions that need cloud connectivity in locations where reliable WiFi isn't available.

Mobile Connection Hub: Ghost Kits automatically selects the strongest cellular signal to maintain cloud uploads

The core innovation of Ghost Kits isn't just its portability but its intelligent network management. The device connects to over 600 networks globally and dynamically switches between carriers (like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile in the US) based on signal strength.

  • Creates a local WiFi network that cameras can connect to on set

  • Automatically selects the strongest available carrier without user intervention

  • Can be mounted on cameras, worn on hip, or placed centrally between multiple cameras

  • Compatible with any camera that supports WiFi and has camera-to-cloud capabilities

Smart Data Architecture: The system uses a flat-rate data model that simplifies budgeting for productions

Rather than dealing with multiple carrier contracts or unpredictable roaming charges, Ghost Kits offers straightforward pricing.

  • Data packages start at 5GB monthly at $7 per gigabyte

  • Enterprise plans available for productions exceeding 50GB per month

  • Data is pre-purchased rather than pay-as-you-go

  • Now available for pre-order on the Ghost Kits website

The Bigger Picture: How mobile cloud connectivity enhances overall production workflows

The rise of camera-to-cloud workflows has been limited by connectivity challenges in remote locations. Ghost Kits addresses this final hurdle, potentially transforming how quickly footage can move from capture to post-production regardless of shooting location.

  • 6-12 hour battery life ensures reliable connectivity throughout a shooting day

  • USB-C charging allows for continuous operation with external power

  • Form factor is being refined for the commercial release with additional mounting options

  • Represents a solution to one of the most persistent barriers to fully cloud-based production
