  1. I'm interested in some kind of smart battery slot-in cup like the Coga BPS (there are a couple other options). I was wondering, for those who use it in front of their bag, how do you deal with A bad weather and B transportation? I somehow don't feel very well about the open connectors at the bottom. What do you do if it starts raining (heavily), do you have a raincover that covers the entire front including batteries? Even if you stop shooting during rain, you will pontentially put your bag on wet ground or somehow get the BPS wet. Same with transportation. I sometimes carry my sound bag in a regular bag pack for doc shoots or a larger gym bag where things might get thrown around a little bit. Not sure if having the batteries exposed like that (or even just the BPS itself) is a good thing. Interested to hear your opinions and experiences.
  2. RRC used to be a lot cheaper than Audioroot a couple years ago at large industrial resellers (60€ difference or more). So I decided to get RRCs instead of the (back then) new Neo batteries, which don't have a good reputation. The RRCs work like a charm with my Audioroot chargers and are as reliable as the original Audioroots (Inspired Energy). Unfortunately they went up in price, but still slightly cheaper than Neos. Afaik no company ever made restrictions with their smart batteries or charges, so every 2054 style battery works with every 2054 style charger.
  3. Are you planning to go with an Mkh 8060 + Emesser/CCM8 Setup or completely different mics for MS? Either way, I would get an 5Pin XLR Pianissimo right away, because changing the connector from 3Pin to 5Pin is not practical on set. With 5Pin you only have to change the suspension. If Mkh 8060+CCM8 is your end goal, I would buy this configuration right away. You can detache the cable for the CCM8 and use the Mkh 8060 only for now. Generally speaking, you can buy all the parts seperately as well. Here is a video from cinela on how to change the entire connector, like I said, not practical on set: The best way to reach out to them is on Facebook, you can try email, but I think they are not as responsive: contact@cinela.fr
  4. I remember seeing the 833 for 3700€ (no VAT) two years ago, it's 5000€ now. Looking at what has been added (for free) to the bare recorder: Yes they added some cool bells and whistles, but also a lot of fixes and things that already existed on their older series. None of these things justify a 1.3k price bump imo, even calculating in inflation and chip shortages. I was strongly considering the 833 with the extra channels option now, but with that price bump.. I don't know. Maybe I'm just mad.
  5. They are thinking about a pro version or extension of the Track E, that can be used as a TC box like the Sync E, but no confirmation or promises yet.
  6. Nice! I assume, there will be no optional fur that you can wrap around this (similiar to Pianissimo)?
  7. Off-topic (I might actually start a new one on that): How do you like the 833 compared to the SX-R4+? I'm thinking about updating from a 744T.
  8. You could get the C-Amp, which perfectly fits the Cosi.
  9. No personal experience, but Bubblebee did this video using the 6060s:
  10. I was eagerly waiting for someone to post about this website haha. I did the same, checked their Imprint, VAT, I even checked their address on google street view, their past addresses. Their email response is fast, and they explained how they achieve the low prices on certain products. What ultimately convinced me, was an email that I sent to UltraViola, that got redirected to someone at https://www.studio-general.hu/hu/, which is an official distributor of all the brands they offer on their website. I have not bought anything there yet, but will do soon.
  11. I used this technique outdoors aswell without any additional wind protection. No issues. Granted there was no wind, but I was still surprised that fast walking didn't create any kind of problems.
