Hey Laurie, nice to see you here too ..., Yes and Rastorder's cart has been serving me well ever since it arrived here in Kuala Lumpur. Best Regards, Lawrence Chick

With a little velcro I could put it on my cart too....

Hi, It's not 3D printed. I think it's some sort of dye that they used. As for the power switch, I picked it in a hurry on one of those days I was getting pass some electrical shops and it just caught my eye. I'm guessing it's probably one of those from China. The power socket, I know for sure, as I had to specially order it. It's from Switchcraft and it's mating part is the the 761K model which is common with your bag's power distributor. Hope that helps. Post me a photo should you build one yourself ya

Here are some other views of it ...

Here's another one of my DIY projects, and it has gone through it's first test last weekend on a night shoot and some various low light conditions after that ...

Hi Tim, please check your message box. PM Sent. Thanks.

Scott, Sorry didn't quite get your question on hitting the sides of the bag, but I use Neutriks connectors for the XLRs too. Lawrence

Hi, When I use the whips, I mount directly on the PSC distro itself. If there's any dislike about the PSC, I must admit that it's an incredible tight fit to put them in (and taking them out). This is using the whips supplied by Lectro. Otherwise, a happy user. Hope that helps. Lawrence

Thanks Steve, Yes, I do like the PSC antenna distro a lot and it does take a bit more battery juice if you need to power up your active sharkfins, so just factor that in to bring more batteries on set or a charger. If you are using it with whips, then it uses lesser battery. Perhaps that was just stating the obvious, since obviously it definitely needs some power to power up the active sharkfins. Just a heads up only. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it. Hope that helps. Lawrence

Hi Brandon, It was made up from various existing sets of Legos. Best Regards, Lawrence

Thanks

Hi Guys, Firstly i have to thank Scott Farr, for his original idea in colour coding his 8 pcs of 411 in a way I liked it. However, I understand that he actually painted over the unit. However, it wouldn't be my personal preference in case for whatever reason I was going to sell then like errr.... 20 years down the line (kidding). But hence, after much thought, I had idea of putting heat shrink sleeves over them. And so here it is. Hope you guys find this helpful. Just my bit of sharing.. Best Regards, Lawrence

So my DIY Right angle connector gets to join the rest of my DIY colour codes family...

Basically the place where I'm at, almost everything comes to a screeching halt during the Chinese New Year holidays last weekend,... hence the light hearted pix... Glad you enjoyed it...

Eric, thanks for the kind comments.. I wanted to TA3 connectors for my 788T, but timing didn't allow me and the lack of parts. I'm hoping to get the Rean connectors (as I could only get the normal ones) as they seems to allow more space, than the "normal" connector... Honestly, this was a "project" I've been eyeing to do for months,... and finally had a long weekend to allow me to do it,... and those "Lego Sound Carts" just for laughs...

Hi Guys, this is just something to lighten up your day, do you think this was used as the sound cart and follow cart for "Lego the Movie", .... Enjoy.

Guys, thanks for all your sharing, this is a photo of my first attempt at DIY-ing my own Right angle connectors, after drooling at your photos for a long while, i finally had the chance last weekend to make it...

LOL, yes, grommets of course......

Sorry Brent, wasn't trying to annoy anyone if you felt that way. But this was precisely the problem I faced. It was hard for me to get a professional cover within a short period of time, especially the area where I'm at. The dealers won't stock up things like these. It's a like the "chicken and egg" story where of course dealers won't stock it up if there isn't any enough demand for it. Fully understandable. But as I needed to get something very urgently which worked like that within days before flying off, I had to DIY something, and hence the idea of vilny/plastic sheet with gourmets came up. I posted that suggestion more for others who may have had the same problem. When I've used it several times on the set, some came up to me and asked if I had bought it or made it as they couldn't really tell, but they surely liked it. But that's a very subjective matter, and won't go into it. Having said that, later down the line, when time permitted, I still ordered in a Petrol Poncho. I still use both pending the conditions of the rain. Hope that helps.

James, I believe they use it like an apron like the petrol PERC. Btw, you could make a "simple" version of the petrol PERC with a large vinyl (plastic) with some gourmets.

There is also the schoeps option .... http://www.schoeps.de/en/products/categories/menue-surround

Thanks Steve

Hi Guys, Just saw this pop up on PSC's website... (http://www.professionalsound.com/specs/PowerStarLiFE.htm). I wonder what the price is going to be? I'm sure Ron will announce it soon. Best Regards, Lawrence

Hi Glenn, Thanks for the info on your new product, but could you clarify a little more on how does your 4 channel input is able to be a replacement for a 5 channel mixer? Is it that one of your cam returns can be used as an input like your fusion? Will there be any limitations to this "5th" input compared to the other 4 inputs on features? Thanks for clarifying. Lawrence
