  1. Anyone got experience with the DJI Ronin 4D? In particular with the Autofocus (laser) system and the video-tx (2.4 & 5.8GHz)? Any trouble with your audio wireless? I will be using Zaxcom .6 and Zaxnet.
  2. the short and direct answer: unfortunately it is normal for all Super-CMITs. However post can filter it out.
  3. Schoeps lovers urged a lot to have something comparable and not to buy into another brand 😉
  4. the photo in the car was used in a parked situation. Suspension of course will produce better results but quite often there just is no space. Have used the KV up in the visor taped in with Joe‘s with great results.
  5. I have the SO and the KV version. For hiding as a plant the KV is brilliant! Very small and with a flat back which will snap onto a magnet. The SO is very handy if you don’t have much time and need a fast method to deploy a mic. I just did a mod to a table stand which makes for a very nice table mic.
  6. Schoeps CMC1SO as tiny, elegant table mic. K&M table stand fitted with Lemo connector on both sides to use with Zaxcom ZMT4
  7. +1 for Joppe’s charger. Just bought 2 of his new version and love the size and quality build. Also love the fact that one can force the charger to top up the batteries so you know for sure they are @100%
  8. Wireless (Teradek) 90% of the time. Don’t go hard wired. It just reduces your flexibility on set. Or you are forced to follow VV whenever Director likes to move elsewhere.
  9. does it alter its function at all when stuffed away?? My Kelly lives squeezed in a pouch since years. Looks as new the moment it is put on top of the Pianissimo. To my eyes anyway.
  10. as long as AI isn’t working in real time right on set there is hope that the Director and other on-set crew need a proper mix to hear the dialog which requires a dedicated sound crew as of now.
  11. the new version just adds the app. But you can also play without it. For the nostalgic touch there is also the 40years anniversary edition. Really old school 😉 If your family does speak a little German (or wants to learn) there is another favorite of my childhood (still available on A…) called „Hase und Igel“. It looks really cute but you can get clever and strategic if you must win!
  12. It’s a very old German game. The company „Ravensburger“ is a traditional German games company with loads of classics. The British company Milton Bradley came out with a UK version some years later - did check it on Wikipedia 😉 You looking for family / kids game? Matthias
  13. thanks! There is a new version available now. You can play it old school just like 40 years ago or the advanced version with an app on your phone. I think I‘ll give it a try. Cheers, Matthias
  14. this is totally off the sound-book but: I want to give a present to a UK family. My German family loves a game called „Scotland Yard“. Is this known amongst UK families or will it be (hopefully) a surprise?
  15. Well, well - that’s beyond my knowledge then. Some real experts needed here 😉
  16. if you are singing, shouting you are using vocals. They do produce the most energy / loudness but what you need for speech intelligibility are consonants. Like S and T. Those are produced from your teeth and are much higher in frequencies then your vocals. That’s why you push 4-5k to enhance speech intelligibility.
  17. I‘m not quite sure what TRX you gonna use. Does it have a stereo input? Wouldn’t that need a 5pin connector?
  18. Sound quality is perfectly fine. Wouldn’t use it for classical music recordings but to record some ambience. The sound quality relies on the preamp mostly. So if you are using a good (small) preamp to feed line level to the TRX you can’t go wrong.
  19. still using a RX900 to receive a TRX742 with a stereo cone. Nice n easy setup to quickly install my (mostly) Schoeps MS on set. Either on a stand or magic arm somewhere. Got something going on in the background you (or location) can’t control - at least record it properly on separate tracks. Doing this on cable would be impossible.
  20. very nice indeed!! I often get asked what to use with Schoeps xyz-mic. Now I can send them straight to the right suspension/ wind solution.
  21. I think this is more to prevent a TX being flushed down the drain. Not a bad idea. Too late for my ZMT4 though …
  22. I often encounter the following on set: I can’t understand a line / certain words delivered on set. I‘ll speak to the director about it. Two common reactions: one: I can understand everything just fine. Don’t interfere with the acting! two: ok - you can talk to the actor. If I‘m lucky the actor appreciates my concern and can adapt. More often than not the next take got the lines clean and crisp but the acting is suddenly so dull and poor - it’s not gonna make it through editing. Reaction again from Director: Happy now?! Clean sound but shitty acting. Great!
  23. Ben Frost is the composer on 1899. He was doing the score on Dark as well. Fabulous music if you ask me. He is also very interested in sounds in general. Had a long chat with him on set. He even bought a Nagra to record effects and instruments! The use of pop songs was at least on Dark a habit for the end of each episode. They would create a montage sequence along with it. Give it a try!! It’s gonna be entertaining and puzzling.
  24. proper trailer out now. Streaming from 17th of Nov on Netflix
