Patrick, we know you're a fan of the Red camera. But it is not the responsibility of the sound mixer to make sure that the CAMERA has the correct module with professional grade audio inputs. This responsibility falls on the camera department, and to tell a group of sound mixers to ask for said module when too many times we don't even know what camera we are working with until the day of the shoot is ridiculous.

The VTR guys that I know around NYC do provide client monitors and directors monitors, but they are well compensated for them. If production is renting a camera package I'm sure they can get a couple monitors thrown in for peanuts.

If you're just going to be using the one boom mic, I'd run the boom into the MP-1 and then run the MP-1 into the Tascam. Even if the Tascam pre's are an improvement over the Roland, the Sound Devices pre's will still be noticeably better. And having the MP-1s limiter is a nice little bit of insurance.

I second the high sensitivity version, I'm using them with the TRX900LANC's and have been really happy with the results.

Fantastic, thanks a lot Wes!

Dredging this up as I need to find out what size screw is used for the adjusting screws. Thanks.

Check this one off the bucket list, got to record J Mascis jamming for the day.

Nice work Mike!

I think that's what they call a "decleater". Hope you're feeling alright Bernie, that's a mountain of a man you ran into.

Not sure what Ausgang auf means but the do list Arri Alexa Mini and it's dumb little mini Lemo 5pol gewinkelt. I'm guessing they have a full size Alexa version and an Alexa Mini version.

I picked one of these up a few months ago as a quick run bag and I'm really digging it. https://www.rothco.com/product/rothco-tactical-tool-bag

Yeah I know, just wishing out loud for something for the Nomad that I can just bolt on and streamline my setup. I would love a small alternative to the RX12 as well, the RX12 is too much horsepower for the shoots I work on. Or if you open your metalworking shop I'll be ready to send my Nomad in for modifications.

Really clean bag, you're giving my OCD the chills I'd really love to have soundbag dashboard for my Nomad and QRX's. Please!!!

Fairly certain the stream of BS we heard had nothing to do with the microphone.

This is great, especially after reading the thread over on Zaxcom's Facebook page regarding dead TRX's due to sweaty talent. Thanks Rich!

Any NLE software made in the last decade (maybe two) will automatically separate a Poly WAV file into individual tracks on your timeline. Not sure what the issue is?

I use a DPA 4017B with my 4061's and they sound great together, DPA has a consistently flat frequency response across the board with all of their mics. Never used an 8060 before, but I have been happy with my MKH50 and 4061 combo if that helps.

The K Tek is even bulkier than the versa flex. It is a bit of a pain to travel with, the rigid spine doesn't allow you to just compress the harness into a little ball like I did with my versa flex. That said, my back absolutely loves the K Tek. And if you keep 4 of the 6 points connected, you can just slide the harness and bag over your head and then clip the last two in.

Whoa, I thought I was the only knucklehead that jammed a Nomad into a Stingray Jr. I only use it for lightweight run and gun days with one QRX100, I have a Stingray Medium for days that require more than two channels of wireless. My back definitely appreciates the almost two pound difference at the end of the day, and I have a weird thing with carrying around a bag that has too much open space for no reason. I did email K-Tek recently about making a Nomad compatible Stingray Jr, haven't heard any sort of response yet. Maybe if others feel like it would be useful to their workflow let K-Tek know and get the wheels turning.

I don't think the new offering from Panavision has the built in Zaxcom receiver, only the one off monstrosity that Fincher had custom built.

Any time I see talent in a button down shirt, these mounts are the first thing I reach for. Great work Abe!

Great news Matt, can't wait to take a look!
