i put my small travel kit in a roll-on suitcase with some foam padding around it.

thanks for that, i actually lol'd

i remember reading a long time ago that he legally changed his first name to "senator" to get into nice restaurants. "senator micheals" would get a table when "mike micheals" wouldn't have a chance of getting in. true or not, that's pretty funny.

to be fair about the size/weight - if you are comparing them apples to apples the photo shouldn't have the cl6 attached to compare the two - just the sl6.

if you sold these i'd buy one today! I've been trying to figure out how to convert my zuca, yours looks great.

where do all of you keep your transmitters/lavs? nice looking bags, but i'm curious what others are doing with those, especially in the tiny and compact bags. carrying in another pouch? all in the front pouch?

i use motorola walkies w/surveillance earpieces - that way we can communicate, even if not on set. i take off the earpiece plug (leaving just the stem) so i can still hear program audio in both ears with headphones on. simple, cheap, and effective. my boom op uses a SD mm-1 to hear himself, and if he ever needs to hear the lavs we just feed a lectro IFB into it. forgot to mention - these are my personal walkies, not production walkies. different freqs so nobody can listen in to our conversations!

missed it again - next year!

be careful though - after selecting X1/X2 to follow the xlr outputs selecting a channel and then feeding it to the X1/X2 overrides that setting. it's easy to do and not easy to notice that's been done while in run n gun mode. there should an option to lock it in place so that doesn't happen.

that's why I mentioned paper clips as you can find them just about anywhere. if you can source cables and make better antennas - great! but if you can't ...

paper clips

agreed!

psc solice mini?

still have to make cables for mine. looks nice on the cart shelf though.

c'mon senator, you know "it depends" :-)

actually trew audio sells a 3 pair raw snake cable. not as flexible as the mogami, but slightly less diameter so it fits in a 7pin xlr a bit easier. http://www.trewaudio.com/store/Remote-Audio-Shielded-3-pair-Audio-Cable-CA3PS26.html

what sort of interference issues are you having with the ifb200/633 combo? I'm asking because I have been considering buying a system.

http://www.hawkwoods.com/products/cables_and_plugs/cables_by_output_plug/dummy_battery_output.php?mainMenuItemToSlide=10 - then find a power supply to feed it via the xlr. i use this for my bag/cart to run off the meon while on the cart, pull it and drop in an NP.

it's not on your list, but I have my 633 in a portabrace ao-1 right now. you might look at that one as well.

yes

anyone have any original ricsonix pin mics they want to sell?

i had a problem once where the 664 wouldn't power up off external or internal power. ended up being that the internal batteries were dead … didn't think that would cause it not to power externally, but that's what it was. took them out and it powered right up. brian

they've sent out a list of approved open freqs for ENG crews - i'm not going but i'm providing a kit for someone. we had to spread out the blocks pretty good. sometimes only one "official" freq in a block, and the frequencies vary if you are in the city, mountain areas, ect.

I believe the capacitor is there to block dc voltage on the mic input of the iPhone coming back into your timecode device. the resistors are there to pad the line level signal down to the mic input on the iPhone.

possibly a me102?
