  1. Thank you everybody and sorry for my bad vokabulary. I indeed meant the thread that is used to connect the outer shell with the cable outlet. (IIRC it was possible at some point to change the topic of a thread on this forum, seems that function is not active any more)
  2. I guess the title says it pretty much. It seems to be 16mm wide, but is it metric and if, what is the pitch?
  3. Hey Tim, thanks for your helpful remarks that make perfect sense. Your headwear idea reminds me of a little howto years ago from @LarryF iirc for a dipole made out of a coax cable to be straped on the harness. Thinking this further, the upper part of the dipole could grow on ones shoulders.
  4. Whenever I got a bag with bowties, I hated them, as cables like to get caught in there. What is the use case of either system vs a set of good old wips cut to various length?
  5. Tried that too same result.
  6. Back then, I solved the issue by feeding the 788t from the Dtap on the Vmount battery (Bebob) and the Sennies from the plate. However, Sennheiser used a very poor cable on the battery eliminators, so the receivers got the batteries back after some time and the plate was obsolete.
  7. Keep in mind, a particular focal length produces different results in different cameras, or better sensor sizes and whatever cropping the camera is configured to. Let alone anamorphic lenses. It is always good to get a feeling for the very setup on the current production. So if the lens changes from e.g. 32 to 24mm after rehearsal, you know you'll have to adapt. Getting a bit off topic, but be very careful to trust your glance on the focus pullers monitor. Their picture may be cropped / "zoomed in".
  8. 230km/h is a pretty irrelevant condition (but might show strudiness in a way), Pia/ni vs Cyclone is a much fairer comparison in terms of rumble than Pia/ni vs Nano as the former have both effectively decoupled baskets. This comes with the price of more weight. Im my experience Nano is in terms of rumble in the Modular/Supershield/Blimp camp. In my case, a CD size for the SuperCMIT. The "rumbling issue" there may be in general, that low rumbling due to the eliptic basket shape was promised and that the rather small sizes that compete with the Cosi may have special rumbling effects.
  9. For what mics, length? What kind of wind conditiones? The original Rycote modular rumbles as well or more. Piano and Pianissimo rumble too but less than Rycote modular and I've seen minor mods at the joint fixture to improove it. Cinela does provide different fur length and a raincoat, the Nano comes with a well designed handle and is easier to fit to different mics and can loose the basket completely if you switch from outdoor to indoor sitiations. Cinela also may be a more sympathetic "designer run" company as of today. Pianissimo does have some parts that like to break, the Nano seems not to, though it may be still young to tell. (My magnets did come out, but that was not crucial) IMHO none is technically "better" but it depends on a number of considerations.
  10. I am using these for lavs and accessories https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004044021124.html and these for accessories: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004966963360.html
  11. Digging through the manuals here. What is the connection path for frequency and gain control from the Maxx to the QRX?
  12. My longest "dialogue" was somewhere above 70min on a fiction movie. That was due to the way the director worked with the teenage and children cast. Everything was running and then she let them be themselves until they forget they're on a filmset. Then she occasionally called in some directions. We shot a few scenes this way in 720p to fit the media cards in the Arri. Apart from that I had a few interview situations in that time range that are technically "dialogue".
  13. Not sure, if these crosses are actually marks for the speaking ppl as this X shape is rather odd and T shapes were pretty much standard when I was in the news business. But then they where probably not placed by TV production ppl but the event ppl.

  15. Just my 2ct. If I'd want to invest in a 2 to 8 channel wireless system, I'd probably pick the system/family that is most common in my city from rental houses and colleagues if I need temporary replacement or occasional expansion or rent out my units to others. In my case, that would be Wisycom.

    Just some lound thinking... Cantar Mini... Aaton implement gain forward... We'll see, never hope while spending money
  17. I've used an 8060 with it, in between an Xvive P1. This works. I have not deeply listened into it though or compared results with larger recorders.
  18. I came across this: http://www.uneeda-audio.com/pads/
  19. Ask your deal. Rycote/Videndum did produce some videos on how to upgrade the products and the carton, presumably for dealers. If you still get a unit that is not yet updated, it is likely, that Rycote will help you out (as long as they have upgrade sets).
  20. Is auxiliary power possible during operation? Do they charge via USB-C? Thnx
  21. I just took this pic today. The upper part is wide open by its HM design nature. The photo shows the connector outlet folded out like a turtleneck sleeve. That works in a way, but the actual connection and winding is unprotected, however relevant that may be. If I'd own MTB40 I'd buy this Lectro accesory, but it is quite fumbly to rig and the clasical dry condom or vaginal ultrasound probe cover will stay my quick and dirty option.
  22. How much do you need? I bought some 1804a (too much!) a wile ago at https://www.studiokonzept.at
  23. I 've walked into hearing aid shops maybe 20 years ago and they all would do it for around 150€ per ear back then, but needed to send it to some workshop with the system I would need them with, either electric or with a "soundhose". However, it seems, your client does not need the main feature of ear molds, environment noise supression. Ear molds are quite comfortable to wear, but last only around 2 years as your ears grow all your life. I recently got a bubblebee sidekick in stereo for booming, as I want maximum transparency and comfort to wear. They should be quickly available from the usual suspects, are a bit pricey but a very useful thing to have, not only for IFB.
