A comprehensive intercom/call system allows both production (Pd) and engineering (Eng) channels to communicate with each other and the FCA. A Return Prog audio channel allows monioring. Menu controls define which channel is fed to which headset earpiece. Two headsets can be connected to the FCA, one for the camera operator and the second for perhaps a floor manager.

The FBS has one Eng headset connector and a rear multiway D-type connector which allows 4 wire access to external intercom systems for both Pd, Eng and their call signals. Program audio may be monitored in the intercom earpieces and volume adjusted. An in-line intercom cord control pod is an option which allows the camera operator more convenient access to controls.

Both red and green tally signalling is included with indicators on the FBS and FCA. The FCA has a large translucent lens on top which can be seen through 360 degrees. Intensity is adjustable through the menu on the FCA. Tally guarding is used to inhibit some menu adjustments and test modes when the channel is live to air.

OLED displays on both the FCA and FBS show the channel tally number, Optical TX/RX strength, power, temperature status and if the intercom control pod is connected.

The 3G-FL is fitted by simply replacing the camcorder battery and then connecting the I/O cables to the camcorder. Alternative FCA enclosures can fit into a belt pack.

The Transporter 3G-FL can be used to replace the battery pack of many different camcorders including models from Canon, JVC, Sony, Alexa mini and Panasonic. Additionally, it can be adapted for use with Pan/Tilt or Robotic camera heads.
