nevo Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Ive got a 6 week shoot filming in quite a few different cities around the world and am wondering about my radio mic freq allocations Im currently running 3x SRB in blk20/24/26 and was hoping that should cover most places We are filming in Sydney,Los Angles.Houston,Bueno Aires,Tokyo,Shanghai. If there are any recordists from any of those cities or folk who have worked there recently your experience would be appreciated. I realise that different parts of town might be more congested than others but I dont have any detail of exactly where we shoot yet.

nevo Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 ...Is there an online resource that might have the info.? I thought maybe I could find dealers in each city and email them. Ive got contacts for the locations in the States Does anyone have any suggestions for tokyo , shanghai,bueno aires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 We discuss this quite a bit, just do a search. There are lots of online resources as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Mega Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 You'll be fine in Sydney with 24 and 26. Probably your 20 as well. North Head is not great for 26 but you probably won't go there, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDirckze Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I've shot in Shanghai with 24's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Gilbert Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 With three blocks to choose from you should be fine everywhere. If you're on Facebook, search for the Global Radio Mic Frequencies group, plenty of info there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Scan at location and you should be able to find clear frequencies anywhere. Tokyo has a law that stipulates a lower RF max mW output than US and EU, but many have shot there and been fine before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevo Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks for the replies guys,and also to the people that PM,d me. I have had emails back from various pro audio shops as well and the verdict seems to be I should be able to find some space within those 3 blocks in the places Im going to. Once again thanks for the replies....Its a fantastic place full of helpful people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Ledford Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 While in Bueno Aires I used lower blocks (470 to 21) and 20 worked fine. As pointed out before results varies around town. Good advice from Karlsson to scan on location. I always scan on tech scouts and then use IAS software to crunch the numbers with the overlay from the scans to find the lowest noise floor among the 10 or so channels I am using. Here in the US ... the FCC tables do not always reveal all sources of RF one may bump into on locations with harbors and government buildings and installations. Both of which Bueno Aires has plenty of. Reads to be a great trip. Care for your gear and sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevo Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yes my rf explorer will be coming along for the ride.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Maeda Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Unless you are running multiple TXs in the same block, I don't think you have much worry about. The reality is, even in the most congested of blocks, you'd be pretty hard pressed to NOT be able to find a pair of usable frequencies. Since you're spaced out across 3 blocks, and only 2 TXs per, you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
