  1. Hi all. I've been reading on here for a while, but this is my first post. Thanks for sharing such a vast amount of knowledge. This is a great community. I've got a question regarding timecode/sync/drift on these new SD units. I've ordered a MixPre-3 as a mixer recorder for a B unit crew on fairly standard documentary work. 2 lavs and a boom, sometimes less. For long sit down interviews we can use the 1/8" or hdmi to send camera time code into the MixPre. This seems fine. But, for more observational work, I want a mixer/boom-op to roam, without being tethered to the camera with cable. I'm fine not having synced timecode, I'll just analog slate and sync in post. But I'm concerned about drift. It sounds like if I'm shooting 45-minute takes at a time, this is not the unit for me. But if I'm shooting 10-15 minute takes max, might drift still be an issue? I'm aware there are solutions like Ambient's Nano Lockit, but add that on and we're talking about a bump price range, at which point I'll just consider a different mixer/recorder altogether.
