Upgrading Ancient Zaxcom Firmware - TRX + QRX specifically
John Blankenship replied to Adam Aslan's topic in Equipment
There should be no issues -- their firmware is designed so the end user can easily do it. Just carefully follow the update instructions step-by-step and you'll be fine. Note what the update instructions state about previous versions. There is a point way back in firmware history that requires a transmitter to visit the mothership, but that information is clearly laid out and yours may not go back that far. Also, there was a point with the QRX200 that you needed to install an intermediate version in order to apply the latest. However, it's possible you won't encounter that earlier version either. No need to go to the trouble and expense when you can easily do it yourself. If you're good at following directions without the compulsion to ignore and improvise, all will be fine. -
What Johnny said put another way: Cinela mounts are overpriced... until you use one.

Choosing a light stand to support a boom pole for outdoor interviews
John Blankenship replied to rmac's topic in Equipment
You seem to have made the point pretty well -- that for lights, one should use a light stand. -
Philip put it so well! Eighteen years of JWS, and Jeff continues to contribute so much to the world of production sound!

Happy Birthday, Jeff!

A little over a year ago I undertook to find another adapter that would allow me to reliably use an SD as a mirror card. I had one that worked but couldn't find a duplicate. Most that I ordered (being able to do Amazon returns really helped) didn't work well. I found a particular model that is reliable in a Nova, a Nomad, and a Deva V. The Deva V didn't work with all vintages of cards, but the other two devices were rock solid and the V works fine with the proper SD card. Tests included recording and mirroring sixteen tracks for a few hours and showed no issues. For the last year I've been using these with solid results -- mostly in a Nova or Nomad. I found there were adapter versions that appeared to be the same with minor differences but didn't work properly so finding the exact version is critical. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XD8ZP1P?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share This is a link based on my orders but I make no promises as to the suitability in anyone else's application, and also be aware that manufacturers sometimes make internal changes without notice. However, when I bought several of the blue ones a year ago they all tested out flawlessly. Just don't blame me if YMMV. Ironically, while Amazon shows this link as my reorder point, below is the specific look of the adapters that I use. Note the addition of the SD XC. If anybody orders these let everyone know exactly what it looks like and how well it works. Good luck!

That's not been my experience having used one for several years now. I would caution anyone not to compare it to others that appear to be similar.

Exactly what you're looking for: Camp Time Roll-A-Chair https://www.camptime.com/collections/chair Compact, durable, light weight, and surprisingly comfortable.

Chris, All your answers are already in this thread. The link I posted for Amazon still works but the price has gone up three dollars.

Harmonics are what give any sound its full character. The fundamental frequency is essentially just a pure sine wave. The various harmonics extend much higher depending upon the complexity of the sound. Then, add to that, the aforementioned sibilants and you can see (okay, hear) why we're dealing with so much more than just a fundamental frequency.

A block-specific filtered cable is your solution. Contact Gene at the Audio Department. Note: You'll also have a higher max SPL with 48v.

Really nice web site and a great resource for both customers and prospective customers alike.
