  1. Hello, - You and the cam department should test the roundtrip before a shoot. - Be aware that with the Beta Firmware you can get some mixed results. Allways use RELEASE BUILD for serious jobs. The Prores files should also get the audio if you have it on the RAW file. - The stereo minijack input from the Weapon base expander (wich are not the same inputs as the Epic's) are just for scratch audio. The noise level is not made for clean audio (there is also a lot of RF/Wifi signal going on if you plan to use a RX G3 HF). - You should check the audio input level. Line is way to hot, Mic could be to low. - TC feed with the appropriate cable (TC/Genlock/Trigger) will not bleed in your audio channel. - Consider the audio input of the base expender as another low quality DSLR mic input. - If you need better audio quality on camera, choose one of the professional audio module made for the Weapon.

  2. Well I was thinking of having more clear speach when booming from a distance as with the CCM41 and I was surprised that it was less intelligible. My A/B comparative test... I know it sounds weird...
  3. Well... after testing the minicmit I decided to stay with my CCM41 / CCM8 for documentry work. I find the Minicmit (the one I tested...) a bit to "sourd" (in french).
  4. I'm using the 1550 without problem (only ATR75 planes is a no go...). I love the TrekPak inserts or even the custom foam cut https://www.mycasebuilder.com/ (for my camera gear).
  5. I don't understand why sound guys rent their recorder. I'm a camera man and it's nearly impossible to own a camera as its project dependent but the sound guy uses 95% of the time the same mic, same boom, same wireless and the same mixer/recorder. You'll do 2 features (or work 1 year) and you get your invested cash back on the equipment rent. I would buy the best recorder wich covers my needs for the next 2 years. Pat
  6. Was this done only with the street recording or was it a mix with some studio recording?
  7. It could be within the controller and retractable by button push... ;-)
  8. Hello Philip, Isn't the keyboard your Ipad? https://www.sonosax.ch/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/SX-R4-wifi-interface.jpg
  9. Is the minicmit prone to noise due to humidity problems like some other Schoeps mics? I'm planning to shoot in the Amazonas. Thanks for the info. Pat
  10. US patent are well protected by the patent office (otherwise they would loose credibility) and there is no US juge who will give a foreign claim some value against an US patent. Call it protectionism. Some manufacturers decided not to go at war against such patents as it takes time and money against developing new equipment. The only way for those manufacturers is to skip (with regrets to their loyal customers) the market belonging to Zaxcom's patent (US). The patent law is made to protect innovation, but it's up to everyone to decide who is the winner and who is the looser in this patent litigation. Pat
  11. I didn't know that not reformating a card could give glitches? Throw that camera away and use a real one please! There are enough Red Weapon around the globe in 6 or 8k flavour. ;-) The drone (as we know it today) due to it's lower weight will not replace an helicopter because of stability and speed nor a crane for the precision of the movement. It's just another tool to get other stuff right.
  12. Hello Richard, What is the weight of your rig with battery? Thanks Pat
  13. Hello there are some news from Sonosax. The SX-AD8+ is now shipping! http://www.sonosax.ch/news/SONONEWS_2016_11_EN.pdf
  14. Good Panavision recieved R3D compressed RAW codec as a gift from RED.
  15. One day Arri will sell a 4k DCI compliant camera.
  16. This? http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?148270-Sound-Devices-MixPre-D
  17. You need the appropriate module. There are no I/O on the Brain.
  18. Hello Richard, I'm sorry I shouldn't have used the name beta tester while mentionning you, though your inputs in this thread are very informative and valuable. Thanks and have a nice day. Pat
  19. I think people are going with R4+ because they love the sound of it. Now if you want a mature recorder don't buy one when it's not yet on the market. Wait for the other ones to make the beta tester (Richard and Jürg made a great job on this). I do this for all camera I buy/rent, and I think it also applys to sound equipment. I love to be a beta tester with cameras (I'm a RED fan ;-) so I know when things are ready for production and what to do or not before a production day. Upgrading a FW the day it is released is, for example, not a thing to do before a production day. Know your tools. Invest time in knowing it. And then let it sing. Pat Ps: None is forced to buy a company name product.
  20. Did the cam dep file a ticket to RED? Technical failure can happen, camera tests are made for that. Was this their first production with this camera body? I never heard this kind of sound failure until now. I'll test the audio path for my Weapon. Thanks for your post. Pat
