Sprotnik

So, it has to be one reciver with option 7 and another one standard. It both recive the same weak signal, and I think it's not about the freq or channel selection (I have tried several of diferent configurations)

No, it's just one transmitter and two recivers (see model spec. PR-216) But, being the same model... One has antenna and the other one doesn't!! Isn't it weird? Yes, I haven't mentioned it... I have tried changing frecuencies, and nothing, it doesn't work Sorry, Patrick, I don't understand what you mean with "the option 7 flavor"

Hi. Here I am again asking for your help and knowledge... I had a shooting last week and a friend of mine borrowed me a comtek system (one transmitter M-216, and two recivers PR-216). I had work other times with comtek and no issues, but this time... the comtek system was useless... the system seems to be a little weird for me because the transmitter had the usual antenna, but one of the reciver had it too and the other one doesn´t. first time I see that! the point is that the RF noise is almost the only thing that the recivers recive I can´t guess if the system is wrong, the transmitter is broken or what... other issue is that Comtek hasn´t a dealer or technical support in europe and I would have to send it to the USA just to guess what happens I´m attaching some pics, maybe you have some clue from it... one reciver the transmitter the transmitter transmitter again the other reciver with antenna a closer one of the transmitter with antenna I would appreciate any help regards!

ok, martin. removing the metal part from the tube wont be easy by hand, it´s strongly embraced and it´s pretty thin, so I think it would be easy to twist it, spoiling the mechanism. I´ll have to be very careful removing it (to apply the glue) and putting it back cause, although it rotates, it´s very tight. I´ll do a research in the hobby shops looking for vectran, kevlar or epoxies "heat proof". I guess the way to go depends on the materials I will find in the store. I´ll write you back then, I´m sure I´ll need some advices with this products. thanks again. regards

Thanks a lot for your detaliled explanation, I'm reading it carefully and I think I will have to search in my area for some components you mention, epoxi will be easy but I'm not sure about the kevlar or vectran... Just for being sure I'm not missing something: what is the CA you are saying?

good, always I can send it back to factory, but I would prefer to fix it myself cause it's a minor problem. it's just to glue the parts, the point is how to do it properly. thanks

Hi sorry, I´m not english native and the explanation can be a little confusing... the part that is moving is the metal one that I have been calling "the thread" (don´t know if it is the better word fot that), a piece of "the thread" (around an inch) gets inside the CF tube and it is where it is glued from factory and it is where I have the problem thanks for helping Martin

well, there´s a little bit of dust inside, but I think it´s just dust from the 10 years of shooting in location (the age of the boompole) and it is not CF dust. is not easy to separate the two parts, the metal thread is embraced strongly by the CF tube but it´s not strong enough, cause when you operate the boom the wheight of the shootgun microphone makes it rotate, and you can´t boom properly following the characters. so, it will be hard to remove it by hand cause it´s strongly embrace, but it is not strongly enough to work with it as it is right now. I think I will have to remove it (somehow) and glue the metal thread to the CF tube, but I´m afraid to damage the CF with a glue chemically active with the CF.

thank you all for your help. here is a picture about what happened to my boompole as you can see, I have to glue the metal thread to the segment of carbon fibre. there´s nothing broken in the pole, just the thread is unsticked to the tube

I was searching in internet finding nothing. Thanks!!!

Hi you all. I have a VDB boompole (carbon fibre) and it is around 10 years old, it is not new but it was working perfectly until... one of the inner thread (the one glued to the fibre tube, not the one that you hold with the hand to tight or loose for adjust the boompole extension) got unstick, so I can´t tight one of the boompole sections. How can I fix it? I think that glueing carbon fibre with metal should need some kind of special glue, I´m afraid to use any glue that will damage the boompole. I would appreciate any advice or experience thanks and regards

And The mackie HR624 mk2?

Someone made me an offer about a LCR system... What do you think about mackie hr624 mk1? Can anyone tell me any experience? Thanks!!

Thanks a lot for your advice. It scares me to think about transoceanic replacements and support... Equator seems to fix with my porpouses but this point makes me to reconsider it... Thanks a lot, mattiasnyc. I would like to know experiences about a yamaha HS system. Anyone had work that way? It wont be a proper studio, it will be a home studio just for editing and small projects. It would be nice too to know about adam a5x and jbl lsr 305...

Yes, I know I have to trust my ears but I like to trust in others knowledge and experience too. I would like to hear more opinions about budget surround system for editing and small proyects. Interested in adam a5x, equator d5, yamaha hs7, jbl lsr 305 or so... Advices welcome!!

Thanks. I will take a look to BlueSky media desk, but I'm very interested in the equator D5... I have heard that BlueSky don't manage very well the mid freqs, but never heard that system myself... Monitors and hearing, always subjetive... I think there's no equator Sub so it would be a third party one... About the acoustics, yes, I'm considering it and I will work on it, no doubt.

I'm reading about some people very happy with equator monitors. (D5 and D8).. any advice for a home editing surround setup? Thanks

GLOVES Different kinds of gloves (big, small, leather, whool... Search for your sound) Take both in one hand from the hole you put your hand in (leaving the fingers of the gloves free) and shake it in the mood you need flapping against each other and against your hand. It's an old trick of foley artist to make sounds of wings. Luck!!

Hi. I was thinking about to have a surround system at home just for editing and small proyects. I would like to hear from you about a budget monitor system having enogh quality and accuracy in order to be confident working at home that way. I was wondering about yamaha (5,7 or 8 ) or those little jbl lsr 305 (or 308) whose everybody is talking so good, some adam or something like that... (Each system with its own sub) Never tried any of these, I have used genelec 8020 and they are great but they are in the very upper limit of my budget. I would appreciate your opinions and experiences. Thanks!
