Which Megaphone to Buy?


ProSound

Recommended Posts

None...LOL

 

Fanon was normally the work horse.... yes...

  I carried one for years.... production always had one... mine did not find very much use... it did get broken by production a few times.. I ended up NOT carrying one any more... 

 

 That being said, i always disliked listening to them... so when they did not have one,  and nor did I ...I was relieved I didn't have to listen to it...

 

  The rental for it also did not out due the pain of listening to it... I was happy to no longer own one...  unless you are on a long project that will actually make you some dough...

 

Note....  I used to unscrew the switch from horn to mic and put it on backwards to have a laugh at the expense of the AD that when he went to talk, the horn went off... That was always funny and never seemed to get old...

 

Best of luck whatever you choose..

Thanks for the feedback. My upcoming project has a number of scenes in a hard to access wooded area with 150 BG I am pretty sure the VOG will be hard to get set up. I had a member offer me a used Fanon  for $75.00 shipped so I think i may just do that to have another option.

I still have a Radio Shack one, and it worked well. It only got used it in very specific situations where a crowd needed to be addressed or something. We used them on a rowing movie to communicate to the rowers.

I had to tape off that siren switch. People thought it was a power switch or something. So loud!
