Got both Mozegear and Tentacles and yes, since the Sony FS7 has taken its toll of the market here, I can't check the TC as easily as with the C300 which has an LCD on the back. The new unit from Denecke is nice but can't jam wirelessly. My next unit(s) would both have a display and the wireless jamming function.

Well, apart from the ''swelling'' issue which I didn't encounter, after using and recharging the batts not more than 10-12 times (rarely use comteks on my shootings) one of my 4 batts died. CHarger lights up in green but no power on the comtek… well… a little more than a year and one out...

Funny, I got that with my receivers (WMs) and I have to send'em to Lectro so they fix it (for free).

I'm with Mike on this one: can you just imagine the atmosphere, the focus then happiness from a good take on set when recording this way ? wow...

Stashed an additionnal pair of Ultrasones HFI-580 since it seems they're re-designing the whole thing... damn... I tried the Pro 550; they're going to be my backups. Don't like the sound.

that

Now, IF we could get an M2T ''bag edition'', that'd be so great.

I wonder how they can keep their system running at so low rf power (2 mW) ? That's kind of neat if you just need that power and can go a whole day with the batteries.

wouldn't spray white grease work ?

Nice job, love it !

as long as this thing stays juuuust a tad on the side lol

Ambient here. Satisfied customer.

Nice features !

HFI-580/680. After getting used to them, you'll never get back to those 7506s... unless you appreciate the effect of having pistons force-pressed into your ears.

Just as a follow up; I received the batteries (iPower 700mAh) and they fit perfectly into the Comteks. I'll see with time what happens with the swelling part of the story. Thanks again guys for the feedback.

oh...I'll see then what happens with the 700s ... maybe chemistry mod with those will bring its miracle and the batts will stay put as for the size. Crossing fingers. Thanks again.

Thanks ayushahuja and John, MSheldon this is exactly my concern about the newer iPower batteries (700mAh) (will they fit in my Comteks ?) Anyway, after doing a little more research on the web and reading about different complaints about "defects", "won't charge properly" or "not usable after a year" I decided to order the iPower 700s along with a charger and will see if that fits. Apart from the Comteks, everything I have in my kit is using AAs or AAAs so that'd be a bummer. You all have a nice day !

Thanks nevo

Reviving the thread as I'm looking for 9V batts and charger: how are these other iPower alternative brands going now, a few years later ? was it worth the expense instead of going with iPower products ? If some of you guys have the newest Li-Po 700mAh batts; do they actually fit into Comteks ?

Looks like they "rounded it" by shaving the corners from the original (?)...and it's shorter too. Make me think of the Loon wing, but probably way lot more easy to get your hands onto...

What I think is weird about the new Mozegear box is it seems to be intended to be used powered from the cam's hirose connector (be it via cam itself or batt rig). The 4.5h batt life is short but if I get it right it's mostly intended to keep TC for lunch or brakes/moving sets. Only "big cams" have this kind of power output now. Exactly the type of cams that stay on a tripod most of the times. So why this minimalistic box for those cams instead of FS7s and C300s of this world where "tiny" has a place to be ? Maybe I didn't get the idea at all...

I didn't think about it at first but it looks like if they had added the proper power into the boxes they could have made sales with "NanoLockit+TinyMike combos" (simply adding a connection on the box). I really like the Nano though. If I hadn't buy Mozegear and Tentacle these last years I would certainly have plunged.

how long will it hold the time of day ("real time clock") ?
