Toffee Hammer, a UK-based production company renowned for managing complex and high-profile film shoots, recently turned to Motorola XT420 radios to streamline communication on set. With multiple teams working across busy public locations, reliable, instant communication was essential to coordinate crew, manage crowd control, and ensure the production ran smoothly.

From the moment they were unboxed, the XT420s impressed the crew. Ben highlighted that they were “incredibly straightforward straight out of the box — no setup headaches, just switch on and go.” This immediate usability meant the team could focus on the production rather than learning a complicated system, making the radios an essential tool from day one.


During the shoot, the Motorola XT420 radios proved invaluable for film production crew coordination. They enabled instant communication between departments, helping manage logistics, maintain safety, and respond quickly to any issues. The radios’ clear audio and reliable range ensured messages were heard, even in crowded or noisy public spaces, reducing delays and keeping the production on schedule.


Ben rated the Motorola XT420 radios a full 5 out of 5, praising both their reliability and simplicity. He also commended Radio Solutions for providing excellent service, from initial advice to aftercare, ensuring a smooth and supportive purchasing experience.
