  1. Wimpy collectible breakfast mug ad, apparently (yep, South African, judging by R39.95). Slightly longer version on vimeo, and a showreel for the director, Trevor Clarence, too, though I can't quite get that embed. Thanks for posting it! https://vimeopro.com/user10476019/trevor-clarence-showreel/video/37730822
  2. Got this email a couple of weeks ago. Mostly "insane" deal promo stuff, and rebranding talk...
  3. Yikes. Sounds like a deliberate move away from servicing these older devices. The first option I was offered was local support, so as long as they continue to make parts and training available to their resellers, I guess that's the new default. Their resellers list does indicate authorized service partners: https://www.sounddevices.com/resellers/
  4. I inquired about 302 service in late 2021, and the flat fee was $295US plus parts, though they did recommend local Toronto usual suspects as a first step for speed and to avoid shipping costs. It turned out to be cheaper to buy another used, but didn't seem unreasonable. Here's what SD said about the send it to the mothership option at the time.
  5. Orca rainshields are available as cheap spare parts, and there's probably one that fits the Condor/Nova rig. Good quality, with convenient hook and loop strips already in place. I used one recently for the older K-Tek Stringray medium. Spare parts is its own site. Search for TPU for a quick overview of available rainshields, but you'll probably want to take a look at the covers for the Nova bags. http://orcabagssp.com/ Their bagfinder will point you at the Nova-compatible offerings: https://www.orcabags.com/bagfinder/ OR-330 and OR-272 are the slimmer Nova bags; the 272's closest to the Condor, I think? Anyway, search for tpu 330 or tpu 272 in the spares, and you can see them. Here's the OR-330 rain cover, for example, SKU OSP-10330-1 http://orcabagssp.com/?product=top-tpu-cover-for-or-330-31-5cmx34cm And for the OR-272, SKU OSP-10272-1 Top TPU cover for OR-272 16CM×28.5CM http://orcabagssp.com/?product=top-tpu-cover-10 The 330 one would allow a bit of working room under the cover; the 272 looks pretty tight. Think mine was about five bucks at B&H. Usual suspects likely have stock, of course. Edit: Just noticed the EU location. Audiosense.be has the OSP-10300-1 https://www.audiosense.be/en/orca-osp-1030-1-orca-osp10301
  6. I saw that, and I think it was removed by eBay for other reasons. The seller seems to have vanished, too, along with a bunch of similar items. One of the pictures on each was a note saying "don't bid, bids will be removed, it's only available at the buy now price by emailing an address." eBay frowns on that kind of thing: no cut for them, no protections for buyers, etc. so they likely shut it down. I think it's also a tactic associated with hijacked seller accounts, so Spidey senses were warranted.
  7. Sound Devices has a 6 series media page, last updated December 2021. It lists CF cards they've tested. The benchmark testing was on 6s. Not sure there'd be too much difference between say a 688 and a 788's requirements? https://www.sounddevices.com/6-series-approved-media-list/ Pasted for posterity: There's also this less-detailed 7 series FAQ. The manual recommends UDMA for high track counts and higher rates, if I recall. https://www.sounddevices.com/compact-flash-card-recommendations-for-7-series/
  8. Very nice. Inspired Energy has their dust covers, not sure what they run. Might be at the usual suspects? https://www.inspired-energy.com/products/details/3/133-936186
  9. Think I might have seen this linked here? Edit: news story says this was a Sony: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/amp/arts/music/article-lost-live-recording-of-joni-mitchell-by-jimi-hendrix-resurfaces-after/
  10. 7.17 just released, seems to address this. "Rare, brief interruptions of audio in recorded files and USB outputs no longer occur." https://www.sounddevices.com/download/?prod=mixpre-10-ii
  11. Couple of shrink tape and "liquid electrical tape" pointers from 2012.
  12. That's Patrick's fine design and 3D print, I think. See up-thread: It looks like the 3D printed accessory shown in their video of DSLR use, about 2:19, so perhaps that's what Sonosax provides in the mounting accessory files they mention on their M2D2 page. The pictures are of a different bracket, and I can't actually see a link there at the moment, so contact Sonosax if you don't find them. https://sonosax.ch/product/sx-m2d2/
  13. Shure has an interesting theater tips video where this comes up. The notes for the video list gauge and type of wire. Ear rig action starts 41:30ish.
  14. Ask Gene Martin at Audio Dept/Sound Guys Solutions? That MMA-A mount (and maybe a couple of the other bits) look 3D printed, I think? Might've been his prototypes.
  15. If that's a modular windshield (WS2 or WS3?) I think you want this bit: https://www.reddingaudiostore.com/catalog/item/8157888/8840148.htm They say: Rycote M5 Modular Star Knob and M5 washer, part number 048432 Rycote M5 Modular Star Knob and M5 washer, for securing bracket to modular bar. A Modular suspension requires two star knobs in use. It's $7USD at Redding, but probably findable elsewhere given the part number. At some point Rycote seems to have made their own parts catalogue less findable, but you could probably confirm the windshield model and go from there to try to find the specific part if this isn't it. Redding has a pretty comprehensive breakdown of Rycote (and other kit they deal in ) here: https://www.reddingaudiostore.com/replacementparts.html Contact: Redding Audio, LLC 101 N Plains Industrial Road, Building 4 Wallingford, CT 06492 203.269.1808, sales@reddingaudio.com www.reddingaudio.com
  16. Smallrig has a bunch of cable clamps that'll mount to cheeseplates and 15mm rods etc. https://www.smallrig.com/search.php?search_query=cable&section=product Doesn't sound like you need They'll also cheerfully listen to design ideas and give you credit and one of the finished product (for ffree). It seems so cheerful it can't be at all piratical. https://www.smallrig.com/co-designs/ Camvate is in that same space, seem to be of identical quality (in my limited experience) and generally has a little wider range of audio-friendly bobs. Their cable section includes clamps and actual cables. https://www.camvate.com/collections/cable-connector-444 Cables, for example: https://www.camvate.com/products/camvate-mini-3pin-xlr-male-to-full-3pin-xlr-female-cable-for-bmpcc4k-2377 They generally include specs for supported diameters on clamps and things, so you can almost certainly tinkertoy something up.
  17. Appears to be live now. Little more detail on K-Tek's site, and a video. https://ktekpro.com/product/kstglx-k-tek-stingray-large-x-audio-mixer-recorder-bag-x-series/ I totally forgot that they ran that video for it during Sound Summit earlier this year. To be fair, it was 2:18 minutes in...
  18. I see there're a couple of MX-5050s coming up for auction in Canada this week. https://bid.asta.auction/search?key=otari&xclosed=on&xclosed= No affiliation, but I bought some DPAs when the Canadian distributor used these guys for old stock clearout. That experience was fine. They were booking pandemic online 'viewings' back then due to pandemic: I didn't bother since everything I was looking at was new, but this lot is much harder-ridden, so might be a good idea. Factoring in shipping/brokerage and the fairly hefty 17% buyers' premium on this sale probably makes this more mildly interesting than attractive, but might be worth checking out if somebody's looking. Not shilling, but of course I'll take this down if it's inappropriate.
  19. Razor blade, gently and obliquely applied to an edge might give you enough to peel the rest off. Perhaps some slight chance of scraping the surface. Or slicing off a fingertip.
  20. Looks like there's a Large-X coming, KSTGLX. When I inquired about options for a 788t/cl-8 in current offerings (now that the medium's retired), Tino responded that this was coming Julyish, and would work. He said it'll have the Stingray X features; a little smaller than the current large, and a little roomier than the medium. I wonder if B&H have jumped the gun a little, as it's not up at usual suspects, and there's no marketing metadata for the page. $389.90USD in orange: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1639190-REG/k_tek_kstglx_stingray_large_x_orange_for_sd.html Presumably purple premium for purple premium people? Noyzboyz.nl has it up, too, with pics. €360,58 before VAT. https://www.noyzboyz.nl/en/k-tek-kstglx.html Might still go for a used medium, though.
  21. Lectrosonics seems to have an ebay outlet. (News to me.) They have some UCR401s there at the moment as new old stock with full warranty for $399USD. If you can pick up some transmitters used, that's ballpark. https://www.ebay.com/usr/lectrosonics
