Does anyone know what the blue plastic protector stuff protecting the XLR connector in this photo is called? And also where does one find such material?

Just got my first Deity W Lav Pro. Very nicely made! And sooooo tiny! I purchased this with my own money, this is not any kind of paid endorsement. I just thought that I would share my first thoughts! Great job Andrew and Team Deity!

I am currently building my first "bag". I would research recorders first as it is the heart of your system. I purchased a gently used Zoom F4 as my first recorder. Now I am investing in mics, power, TX, RX, ect.

Definitely worth your time to watch!

Yup, that is the cart I am thinking about!

Understandable! I do have a pickup truck if I really needed to haul some gear. But I would rather travel lite if at all possible. Those Zuca carts you mention are definitely on the list for later on down the road! I have thought about a small sound cart, and then have a utility cart that I could bring if needed. Both could fold up and go in the trunk/backseat of the car easy. But I am sure that as my needs evolve so will the carts! LOL

Very cool to see the evolution of your carts! I have to be able to pack all of my gear in a car. So I have been thinking about making mine modular and use one of those little hand trucks that fold flat as my "frame".

Thank you for steering me in the right direction!

I ended up purchasing a gently used Zoom F4. What a fantastic recorder! 😍

I know that I love my D3 Pro! Such a versatile mic! 😁

From what I understand is that filming has been pushed off till early 2021. I did send in my info for an extra part in a Reagan movie. 🤣

I will see if I can find any info! Thanks for the heads up everyone!

Out in Lectrosonics land! 😀

Howdy newzhack, I live in Perkins near Stillwater.

Currently since things are kinda just up in the air, I would be recording sounds for my personal sound design library. And would be open to interviews, anything that I know that I wouldn't have to much problem with. As far as after this stuff has passed and we can move about safely. I would hopefully be versed enough with whatever platform I get, to do bigger things. (I.e. Independent film, commercial, industrial, ect.) I have a Deity D3 Pro Location Kit, cables, ect. Just need the rest! 😂 We do however own a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera that is fully rigged and ready for work. Along with the necessary gear to go along. (Lenses, power, monitor, ect.) And we lastly have a post workstation running Davinci Resolve 16. And we are slowly adding a upgrading into a full production house. But to be honest, I have been a musician since I was 12, so sound has always been a calling you could say. So it is my focus! Yes, it does seem to be a decent recorder just going on specs. But it wouldn't really be much more for a better recorder. I will just have to save more pennies! 😂

Well when you explain it like that, I definitely will not be even looking at a Tascam. I don't want to be in the "Pre F8" days as you say! So at very least an F4, used Sound Devices will be in my future! I don't plan on doing Features, or anything real big. But I think having good gear is always the way to go! I really appreciate the information!

Yeah I wondered if they were "fiddly" or not. I will keep my eye out for one of the other brands!

Howdy Folks! I am looking at purchasing my first recorder for recording sound effects and small jobs. Anyone use any of the Tascam models like the DR-60D or DR-70D? They look to be a pretty good entry point for what I am needing at the moment. But would love some input!

Awesome! Where about in the panhandle? I have been to Canadian before.

Agreed! If you do find yourself doing quite a bit of soldering then heavens yes invest in a decent iron! I am actually looking to upgrade myself!

Great idea! Trey

Just buy a cheap set off of Amazon. Unless you are using it a lot, there isn't much need to spend a bunch. Good solder and flux is where I would put the money. Just my opinion. Trey

Howdy folks! I am Trey from out in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma. I joined the message board to meet other sound folks, as there are not many around my parts. Currently trying to build up my gear. Just researching my options and such. Hope that everyone is doing well! Trey
