tourtelot Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 In the helmet seems a pretty ideal place to put a lav if they leave their helmets on during the scenes in question. Hat brim placement has always been a favorite of mine. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward chick Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I recently did this for a doc for a certain sports network with the Detroit Fire Deparment. Production was hoping to go on an actual fire run with the fire fighters. Since this was a doc situation, we had to be ready to go when the bells rang. I did not have a lot of time to consider where to mic them, so I put the transmitter in the interior pockets of their fire oats, ran the cable up zipper line (taping it down) and using a vamp clip, attached the lav (Sanken COS 11 or Tram 50) covered with moleskin and let it set. Unfortunately for us, our particular engine house did not get any fire runs that night, so I could not put the rig to the ultimate test. However, we staged the FF gearing up and getting in the truck, and the rigs held and sounded pretty decent for being underneath the coat. Obviously for a staged production you have more time and ability to consider other options such as a helmet rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traut Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Firemen wear a lot of gear. No one will notice an exposed lav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 If you go for helmet, be aware that a mic taped to the inside (underside) of the rim can sometimes sound very 'odd', or strange. Test in advance. sb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
