all good points as well.  dollars, don't care.

reliability, in the field away from any kind of convenience store, something to consider on this trip.

I gather NiMH are favored as compared to lithium because of discharge expansion?

No issues with Lectros?

great.  thanks for the info.

I'd like to go re-charge, but location may preclude.

in any case, do you guys have a brand fave for both batt and re-charger?

that was my feeling, but I wanted some other opinions to sell it.

gratzie

haven't played this in a while.  regular batts or liths?  I think the average roll will be 2hrs.

and for the rcvrs , UCRs and R1a.  reg or lith?

for IFB - T4 or another UM400?

cool.

dunno why I didn't look at them 1st.  thanks

does such a thing exist that will provide the 48v for the shot as well as allow the op to listen on the way to the RF?

Or does this only happen as 2 boxes, 48v and say an FP22 before the TX.

tossed the idea of Zaxcom TRX900 to the EP as well.  Time will tell.

all manuals for all gear always with me in pdf.

Even the friggin camera manuals.  coz ...... well ....... you know ......

excellent

thanks very for your feedback.

I've never used them, but one seg of an upcoming gig seems like they might be the perfect choice.

How's their reliability and function for a newbie?

may have a need 9/30 - 10/6.

I'd thought drop the bag in the seat, but after getting an idea of what terrane they'll be on and what the "concept" might be.....

The DR60 it is.  Looks like the right choice on deeper inspection.

for unattended recording.  Like 2 guys talking while driving a jeep and the director wants no one with them.

Just a pair of GoPos.

thanks all.  I figured from previous experience with the SD970, SD had done their home work, but user experience reassures.

suggestions for wireless camera hop?  I was thinking more lectros.

Any experience with snorkel recording?  Not scuba.

I can't think of any way other than putting the boom pole in a garbage bag and submerging a foot at most.

have a job coming up with a SD 633 mxr/rcdr.  

My concern is batt drain with a couple 48v shotguns on it in addition to its' other functions.

Not to worry or ....?  Will have Series L batts as well as AA.

The there's the subject of the shots themselves.  Normally I'd go with a 416 or KMR.

But I'm also looking at VP82 and DPA 4017.  The location will be rather windy.

I will sleeve a Rycote as well.

Thoughts?

Any west coasters have a fave rental house for well maintained gear with intelligent humans?
