  1. Sad news for Lemo. We can assume that Nikon will pick one style of Lemo connection for Red Cameras.......
  2. High quality microphones plugged into a 788T will yield great results time after time. Be aware of the 48 Volt Line setting if you have high SPL into a LDC microphone, it will be useful.
  3. Exposed lavs would make the job so much easier. And sound better. Could you ask if this is OK ?
  4. I use dishwashing soap in warm water and a slightly abrasive wash cloth. Then wipe down with a cloth soaked in clean water. Also, a few of my Neutrik XLR Male silver pins went black with tarnishing. Over 20 years old. Could not be bothered to shine the pins so I just sold all those old Canare cables to a local live music bar for cheap.
  5. A Timecode slate should be on hand as well. Just in case. And it indicates that you are thinking ahead for post.
  6. The shot was probably boom-able. But Directors and Producers freak out if anyone on the Callsheet is not wired at all times....
  7. Recently completed a 5 day project with an Alexa 35 and Mini as main cameras. My JB1's worked perfectly. Serial numbers in the 4000's and 1.7 Firmware. Had a pair of Ambient TinyLockits in my kit just in case. Free Run Regen were the camera settings.
  8. Sebi, I see that your receivers are resting right on top of the 788T. Do you have any RF spray issues ? Do you have metal shielding fabric under the receivers ? I run my bag with the 788T on bottom and CL8 on top, then the receivers on top of the CL8 to provide space. We know that the 788T had less RF spray than the 744T, but there is still some spray.
  9. Here in Canada the Nanoshield is not available from the traditional sellers.
  10. The Nanoshield was discontinued for a few reasons. And the current Windjammers do not block the wind as well as the ones from years ago. Yay.
  11. The 7 Series SD recorders were notorious for RF spray. Did it improve with the 6 and 8 Series ? They said that the crystal oscillator for the Timecode generator was the culprit back then. Although unlikely, could it be a problem with the TC generator internally ?
  12. Genlocking cameras should be a camera department decision in my opinion. A senior DOP warned me that improper use of Genlock can screw with the video processing, therefore I don't even bring it up on multi camera shoots.
  13. I have 4 Block 22 411A's and 4 Block 21 411A's. All have the latest software updates. There are differences in the RF activity when I scan with Receivers in the same Block. Not as drastic as what I see here though. I just noticed 2 things from your video. Looks like you have UCR 411's and not the UCR 411A's. I think the software updates only go up to Version 3.0 on an original 411 ? Also, the bottom 411 in your video is right on top of your 788T. The RF spray is hitting the bottom receiver harder. The 788T had less RF spray than the 744T, but it still was noticeable.
