For wireless HDMI Accsoon CineEye 2 Pro is much better than Hollyland Mars series, the connection is much more solid when the crowd get massive.

Thank you... And what about their audio wireless?

Don't. 

Sony UWP-D21 is the standard for the minimum threshold for prosumer budget wireless.

Wireless video transmitter is fine for a directors monitor, but unusable for focus pulling due to the delay

Is there any HDMI transmitter below 500 that is good enough for focus pulling?

Well I meant as a buying option.
I know renting would be well below 500 a day 🙂

No. 

(plus for focus pulling you'll usually want to use SDI wireless/monitors, otherwise the delay becomes too much via HDMI)

Suitable for casual youtubers or cameraman on simple nondemanding / noncritical shoots. 

There are many deal breakers with it:

1) 2.4GHz
2) low power RF
3) no locking connector 
4) no swappable batteries
etc

The transmitter can record 40hr of audio (not the battery life) so if not using the wireless function the wireless go II is nice little audio recorders to put anywhere.

Would a HDMI to SDI converter solve this issue?
So

1. HDMI Camera > HDMI Converter SDI > Wireless SDI Transmitter

Or

2. HDMI Camera > HDMI Monitor > HDMI Converter SDI > Wireless SDI Transmitter

Or

3. HDMI Camera > HDMI Monitor & Converter SDI > Wireless SDI Transmitter

Too much delay is introduced.

I have seen many focus pullers lately using Hollyland equipment. At playback focus seems to be alright.

[A_Urquhart]

HDMI doesn’t introduce any noticeable delay. The ‘proper’ video cameras I’ve used with an HDMI port (FX9, FX6, FX30, Pocket 6K Pro and Pocket 4K) all have got less than a frame delay when using the HDMI port either hard wired to a display or when using my Teradek Ace 500 HDMI transmitter. 
It’s down to the camera as to how much delay is introduced via HDMI and hybrid cameras are usually much worse than proper video (or cinema!) cameras. 
 

[A_Urquhart]

To add, I wouldn’t pull focus on anything other than a Teradek or Vaxxis system if you value your reputation. 
Of the wifi systems, the Accsoon CineEye are the lowest delay I have tried and Hollyland Mars was unusable for focus pulling.

I shoot this with Hollyland Lark 150 dual wireless mics. 

For the money, I think is good enough. 

[Kisaha]

I believe at the 0:38 second I saw the Video Sound Police violently interrupting the shooting!
