  1. Large image uploads are also failing for me right now. Just tried.
  2. One of the odd limitations of this site is that file uploads are capped at ~3.5 MB, might be that. 😕
  3. I too always wonder about my baby… Welcome to the forum! Curious what your phone situation is in your bag there, don’t think I’ve seen one mounted like that. Can barely make it out – bent metal plate, magnetic phone case, and a Betso TCX-2 underneath?
  4. Negotiate for a price match! At least in my experience, the kind folks at my production sound dealer (Second City Sound) have done so without much hesitation.
  5. Reporting back about the Storacell battery holders: My batteries are still intact after six months. It’s true that at first, the “teeth” that hold the batteries from falling out made little creases on battery casings. But I found that I could soften their grip by storing batteries part-way out of the holder for a few months. Pretty happy with them and recently bought a few more from Storacell. The local IKEA store finally stocks LADDA batteries.
  6. @glenn: Is the battery removable or integrated? And what kind of battery does it use? The info I’ve seen so far has been unspecific.
  7. Hot off Zaxcom’s Twitter account, a wireless transmitter/recorder for sports applications. Features include mono/stereo transmission (with two Microdot mic inputs), timecode-enabled recording, NeverClip, and ZaxNet. It weighs 3 oz/85 g, transmits with power up to 75 mW, and available info at this time points to a removable, non-standard, lithium-ion battery. The body of the transmitter can bend, definitely making it a competitor to the Q5x PlayerMic. Prices are around $2500 USD as of writing.

  8. From the Black Friday thread, I got two conflicting reports about the state of Betso’s customer support. Texas-based @noelmdfw says: Conversely, London-based @gareth john says: I’m a little concerned now that I own TCX-2’s. Betso not having a service center/partner near me wasn’t a concern until now. Do any other Betso owners (and perhaps distributors who wish to share) have any complaints regarding the company’s support?
  9. I’m officially in the Betso ecosystem with two TCX-2+ boxes thanks to that deal. No longer have to deal with my F4’s less reliable timecode, looking forward to buying their slate down the road.
  10. I’d have to guess today, Cyber Monday. Try calling them directly: +1 (407) 296-9959
  11. Offers from Amazon’s Pelican sale, Avid, and Pinknoise end today. Offers from Bubblebee Industries, Gotham Sound, Second City Sound, and Sound Devices end tomorrow (November 26, 2018). Very tempted by that Pelican sale.
  12. The most interesting deals thus far, personally speaking: Multiple dealers Orca Bags products Rycote Cyclone windshields Timecode Systems bundles Gotham Sound Deity Microphones/K-Tek/Sennheiser G4/Sound Devices MixPre-3 bundle: $1549.00 USD Location Sound Corp.

  13. Someone in the LocationSound community on reddit mentioned a “$1k CMIT” but didn’t offer any details. Probably not real, but in case it is, has anyone found this offer? ❤️ @drpro Also, not a strictly sound-related item, but the Brother P-touch PT-D210 label maker is going for $10.00 USD (from $30.00 USD) on Amazon. It’s Wirecutter’s top pick.
  14. DPA is currently running a survey about microphone purchases, with a chance to win €500 EUR if you agree to do an interview with them.
  15. Updated with sales from Aaton Digital, LastyBands, Pinknoise, Soundkit, Sound Devices, Storacell; more sales from Gotham Sound; and more details regarding when sales start and end. Thanks all!

  17. Clickable link: https://soundcart.audio/ Awesome website!
  18. Ah, I’m less enthusiastic about the A10 if that’s how it is. Forgot about the process of Bluetooth pairing.
  19. I use LectroRM but wireless control still would be way better. Plus one-man banding means that I’m always close to talent, so the short Bluetooth range personally wouldn’t be a prevalent issue.
  20. Here’s a relevant topic for Mx. Crater: Avoiding Clipping

    Zoom F8n.

    Here’s a comparison chart between the F8n and F8 from Zoom, as well as Curtis Judd’s video comparing the two. As of this writing, if you need… XLR line level (switchable) inputs Professional line level outputs A (reportedly) better-sounding headphone amplifier Timecode that maintains accuracy when powered off A higher voltage range A simpler way to power an FRC-8 Simultaneous recording to SD cards while used as an audio interface …then the F8n is for you.
  22. Here’s a saved copy of the page from the Internet Archive.
