  1. Christmas present says it all. Carry with you while you are talking to producer, director, talent, etc.
  2. Totally get that Rob. It is nice to have something named for you. Just thinking.....
  3. I am suggesting a nickname for your DD cart Rob. Call it the "Daily Driver"
  4. Sorry about that, Pierre, I do indeed use a Wave as the master. I need to check on that for future reference.
  5. Yes, do it all the time on set, usually for person taking script notes
  6. Thanks for all the lists Daniel!!
  7. Trump tapped him for a special mission
  8. I have done it both ways over the years. Now just one 1650 Pelican does most jobs.

    RIP

    Got to work with him in the past. One cool dude with guitar skills right up there with the best.
  10. Good grief Allen, that is awesome. I have been spending hours learning about 3D printing and printing quite a few mistakes!! Learning to use the software is my weak spot. I have been using Tinkercad and slicing with Cura. Any other suggestions from you? I am already lusting after a larger printer. Thanks David
  11. Allen I just got the MP IIIP mini printer. Learning and having fun. Would you be willing to share your printer mods? Thanks David
  12. The next frequency sell off is still a few years away, so the A1 will probably safe, so will the 941.
  13. Thanks V. I do like this suggestion. Price points are also not bad.
  14. SD to back up SD. Simple same menu structure, easy on the brain.
  15. Thanks Derek for your insightful comments. SRa on camera is probably a bit of both. I have spoken to him this am and next shoot day go SRa on his camera and Comteks for B cam and clients. One step at a time. I want to try Lectrosonics VHF IFB for a trial. Perhaps better more RF resistant tnx David
  16. Thanks all. I too have run two TX out of the bag at the same time. I am trying to avoid having to run two different IFB systems (Comtek and Lectro or other brand). In all cases I need 4-6 client monitors. Going the $40 headamp for one person route, maybe, for 6 not so good, another box, more wires. Serv Pro is transmitting from the camera, need to go from bag to camera.
  17. Working a show with two cameras. Typical talent wireless 5-6 systems max, all UHF B21-23. Post wants a scratch track. Using Comtek 216mHz receivers on each camera, plus 4-6 for producer types, director, etc. Both cameras have Teradek Serv Pro video transmitters running usually mounted to the rear. Camera A/DP wants to have clean audio in his ear. The Serv Pro transmitters are getting into the Comteks depending on where the receiver is mounted. Obviously further away helps. Cameras are Sony FS7, so not a lot of space for extras. I realize the plastic bodies of the Comtek are not ideal in a close RF situation. Additionally there are two other soundies working this show and we all are using Comteks and having the same problem. What camera A/DP really wants is a rental on his B20 SRa system, everybody else would still be on Comteks. I really don't want his two transmitters, Comtek transmitter and talent receivers all in close proximity in my bag. Going to Zaxcom IFB units would be nice, but they operate in the 2.4gHz range which the Serv Pros use along with 5gHz. Not sure if they would play nice. My other thought is go with Lectro VHF IFB system and move the scratch track and client audio far away from those higher frequencies, plus a nice metal body. Money is probably the main issue here needing a completely new IFB system (1-xmitter and 6-8 receivers). Before jumping into the money pit. Are there any folks out in audio land that have encountered similar equipment configurations. Looking for thoughts, Thanks David
  18. I haven’t had good luck with them Doug. Others have. The QC seems to very a bit. YMMV
