Just to close the loop- I luckily caught Glenn in the office (Sunday!) and he walked me through the unit. Looks like it needs to go back for hardware repair. IFB board might have failed. Thank you, Glenn!

One screw won’t come out.... when it does Do you just open it in half?

Copy that, Jose. One other thing, now when I press down to get the other menus - instead of the IFB menus I get ‘Channel Presets’ and then ‘Factory Menu’ - both of which I see no documentation for.

My Qrx100 QIFB just lost all QIFB functionality. Mid-shoot. Receiver works fine but zero IFB now, zero zaxnet control. Updated firmware after wrap but still no IFB menu at all. I’m in a bind. Any ideas other than the ifb board just gave up the ghost? Any rental houses used in New Orleans (I’m landing in the evening) that can help fill the gap with an ifb100 or ifb200? Planning to call Zaxcom monday morning. Help! Avi

The orca works great. Been using for years. Highly recommend. Been very very wet and it’s protected the bag every time.

Been trying to get some waist straps but was it's told that Ursa cannot sell them in the US due to legal issues with Neopax. I have the chest straps and they work very well. Can anyone confirm and/or get a bead on where to get waist straps in the US?

Picking this up again. I'm on a football doc series and could definitely use more zaxnet range on game days. Is this still the best simple solution for now?

External mix8 support for the Maxx.

Any good A2s in Charleston? Needed 8/18 and 8/25. Documentary series. Send along to me: azw@loopfilmworks.com

Will this cleaning technique work with a COS-11?

Hey K-Tek: I bought two of the ERX holders with the velcro and 1/4-20 inserts. I have to say, they do not perform as well as I had hoped. 1. Velcro is soft side. Every camera I encounter has soft side on them - in general anything sticking to the camera (TC, IFB) needs to have HARD SIDE velcro on them. Can this be changed? It's unusable as-is this way. 2. The 1/4-20 insert moves around a lot. It is not "solid" - you can rotate the case, so when it is attached to the mount, it still moves back and forth. I think I need to tape it down or something.... Not what I had hoped for. Any suggestions on how to make this better? Avi

Shoot changes dates. Stand down.

I have to leave early on a documentary shoot and production would like to book a solid local mixer for an interview on 5/11. Not sure of there's any verite involved but my sense is that it is just an interview. Interview is critical to the production, they are very selective, as it involves a wrongful conviction case. Email me and I will put in touch with production. azw@loopfilmworks.com

A cameraman friend of mine was asking me for a recommendation on a quality single earphone for him to use while shooting - for monitoring. He does mostly verite doc work. Anyone got a recommendation?
