SeanMAC Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Let's talk about it! What setups do y'all use? What cameras have give you the most headaches? Timecode/scratch/mix? How do you tackle it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGraham045 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I use Zaxcom CL900 for my transmitter. And use QRX100IFBs for the receiver. Also have Zaxcom ERXs for when the camera can't provide power. I love having a single unit that tackles both TC and Audio to camera. Reds have been my greatest hassle to send a stereo mix to. They need a tiny little 4 pin mini lemo (which is very fragile) for TC and 1/8 inch in for audio. I have Wooden Camera A Box and B Boxes. Which then I can use a normal cable setup for (BNC for TC and XLR for Audio.) But the QRX100 only outputs line level and Reds only take Mic Level.... so that's where I'm at with reds. But an ERX on a camera spitting out TC and Audio (with the correct corresponding cable) is by far the easiest way for me to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyman Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Well are you looking for hops or simple scratch? For simple mono sends for not too much $$$, I just use my Lectrosonics IFBT4 transmitter that I use with my R1A's anyways for IFB's, then use some old Sennheiser G3 receivers that are on the same frequency band, tune them into the IFB transmitter's frequency and it sounds pretty darn good (in IFB mode). Great range thanks to the 250mw Lectrosonics signal rather than a G3's 30mw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGraham045 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yeah for about 80% of jobs i just use an ERX for simple scratch/TC. Utilizing the QRX100IFBs when Stereo or higher quality audio to camera is needed/required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have some old RX900s for news/ENG stuff but I haven't broken them out for quite some time. ERX has been working great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismedr Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 since so far I only use hops for scratch and not production audio, and I'm never far away from camera: Sennheiser G3 for scratch and tentacle for TC. simple, small and light weight chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Albertyn Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Tentacle or Ambient with Sony UWP for headphone foldback and mono camera hop. Small indie / docu / short film shoots. Works well and never had a problem (for about a year). I ordered Timecode systems Wave & Ultrasync bundle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will confess however I rarely do hops. For timecode I use the Mozegear TIG Q28, which I have liked a lot, however I think I'd like to replace them with something that has a display for ease of use. The Denecke Dcode SB-4 is how I'm leaning now, or possibly the Betso TCX-2. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Zaxcom camera link - sends 2 channels of audio and tc to the camera with a backup tc 2 channel recorder built into the transmitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
