  1. 48fps is doable with the current generation of D-Cinema projectors, which more and more theaters have converted to.
  2. Before settling on a Furman 1215, did look briefly into SurgeX's line. Looks pretty solid. http://www.surgex.com/products/sx1115rt.html
  3. http://translate.google.ca/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.filmtontechnik.de Google translator's link to Kortwich, the cover and cart's manfacturer.
  4. The B5D is great for interiors. If you need more wind protection, Scheops makes the W20 R1; http://posthorn.com/S_pops.html#w20r1
  5. You might not even have a problem with the jacket. I did a film 2 years ago where the main character wore a leather jacket. It was for two scenes, and both scenes he was wired. I didn't have an issue at all with leather noise, or the zipper.
  6. You probably won't need the pad, but the CUT1 filter I suggest you get in addition to the GVC Swivel.
  7. I had a KMR81, but had problems with gain very similar to what Tony has been experiencing with the CMIT. I sold it and got a CS3e and have been happy ever since.
  8. Another satisfied Rastorder SU user here! You won't regret it!
  9. White noise? Sounds like RF hits to me.
  10. The Film edition Oktava is the included low cut filter, which is a fairly recent addition to the Oktava line. They use to ship with a screw on -10dB pad.
  11. Interesting suggestion Larry, I'll have to give that a shot. I always assumed that one of the reasons for putting a loop or two about an inch or two away from the head was to isolate the cable noise, in addition to giving the mic some strain relief.
  12. They can be had on the used market, you just have to wait for a while. I'm going through a similar situation with Block 25 411a receivers....
  13. Richard, I beleive I used 14 guage wire.
  14. Might not be practical, but you might want to isolate the computer power from the rest of your equipment by using a second gel cell ( or whatever battery you use ) and run the computer off that. I've read posts from others using even hard drive recorders like the DV824 running into this.
  15. I built a Pelican battery last year and it's worked out very well so far. Pelican 1300 case, LifeLine 33AH AGM Battery, 15A DC Circuit Breaker, and two Speakon Connectors. I used foam shims to keep the battery from moving around inside the case. Pretty easy to put together, takes an afternoon to do.
  16. My favorite soldering iron is a Weller: http://www.cooperhandtools.com/brands/CF_Files/model_detail.cfm?upc=037103169228 It's amazing how well you can improve on your solder joints with a good iron. It's wasn't really that expensive either, $20 or so.
  17. I'm betting on this as well. Are you using Internet Explorer?
  18. A friend did something like that recently on Facebook, his status said " Press Ctrl-W if you want to see something interesting ", surprisingly he had many angry comments on that status...
  19. There are some posts on RME's forum, some users have been successful with it but not without issues. It works with Mackie Emulation mode. http://www.rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5548
  20. RF Bandwidth (3 versions): Low: 470 to 691 MHz Mid: 537 to 768 MHz High: 640 to 862 MHz
  21. In Stand By Me, there's a shot of the four boys walking up to the train tracks after Teddy dodges the train. One of them has their radio mic out under their pants dangling around as they walk up the hill. Never would have noticed it but it was pointed on in the commentary.
  22. http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/lavs_brockett.html This page has vocal samples of different lavs, including the mentioned DPAs. They did several tests, with different speakers, under/over clothing.
  23. The Salesman at the Auto Show this year suggested that Ford was looking at replacing the Econoline with the Transit Connect.
  24. I too own the HHR Panel. Be advised the rear hatch opening is only 28", so any cart you have will have to roll in will have to be under that or split in half as in Simon's photos. Fairly economical in gas usage, but the 2.2L Ecotec is enough power to haul ass when required. The 260hp SS version is something else! The panel SS is special order, and the salesman I dealt with had neither seen or heard of one before.
  25. I'm curious to know why " Bob Mane " has an email address that starts with jon@....
