  1. Hi can anyone help with a Pix 240 file issue. After running for 40mins a Pix 240 lost power so failed to close the file. The Pix will not show the file and after removing the SSD and it cannot be seen in finder although in utilities it says the drive has 42GB. Any ideas on a quick way to access the file to see if anything on the drive is salvageable. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards Calum
  2. Matt I just had a chat with Hawk Woods tech guys and they are in the process of making a low profile (to be neat on F5, F55) SR RX V-Slot unit with TA3 TA5 connectors with duel hirose to run TC Buddy etc. Still in development but hopefully have my hands on it soon
  3. Think i may start going hard wired to my contribs... where are those Cos11 BP's again?
  4. Thanks Larry Think i just needed to hear it from the horses mouth. Bring on the "B" and soz for calling you a horse
  5. Any word from Lectro about side by side tests done in factory with SRa and SRb. Just wondering if the cost to upgrade the board + shipping etc is going to be worth the say an extra 5% - 10% in performance.
  6. Temporarily malfunctioning, If you need a loan unit Matt give me a buzz
  7. The mark up is so we can feel like we get a free holiday to NY and nice cup of coffee at Gotham.
  8. Hi Matt Yeah its my Ambient for sale. Its on the green block and i have added some high gain antenna as well. I am selling because i have moved over to TC Buddy. I was using the ambient to feed TC to my 552 and found that it was fine when you just want a TOD signal to stamp the file but was not reliable (at distance) enough signal to run the 552 in auto record/rec run trigger from camera TC. Hope you are well Matt catch you soon
  9. hey Matt are you running everything on blk 23 and 606
  10. I've been using 2x LMa blk26 ether side of a Petrol bag as links with up to 8 SRa on 606 RX for talent mics. Maybe this is voodoo but lining the bag with RF deflection cloth makes a world of difference for range. Before lining the bag I found that intermodal range was an issue even with the 2 blk separation and after no problems at all.
  11. http://www.rean-connectors.com/en/products/rt5fc-b The rubber dust boot can be slipped over the head of the Cos11 and run down the cable to protect the connector if its going to be a sweaty shoot.
  12. Been using Rean TA3 for all my cables and TA5 with lectro links cables and cos11 mics, easy to wire, good strain relief and moisture resistance. Very good robust product
  13. Block 23,24 and 26 work well in Norway
  14. forgot to share this as well http://store.aquapac.net/radio-microphone-case-158b-81.html
  15. I have done several white water rafting shoots with varying results.. needless to say i have spent many hours thinking about the subject after i had a 552 and 2 SR rx plus bag and all the gubbins go down with me attached while filming on the Zambezi. Dependant on how much of a MacGyver you are i would..... Buy a second hand Peli case large enough to take your bag inside (upright style would be best like the 1430) Cut a large rectangular hole in the top and replace it with a clear perspex sheet (sealing with silicon and nuts and bolts). Cut 2 holes in ether side of the peli and seal a pair of kitchen washing up gloves into the holes. Cut further holes for XLR chassis, BNC and 3.5 headphone jack (waterproof XLRs are great for this and for the boom) Inside the case wire the sockets into the RX mixer etc and you have a workable water tight (at least in the time it takes to be recovered) box. Let me know what you think and how you get on. PS really think about Waterproof Lectro with 250Mw and some yargi high gain antenna or go Zax record
  16. I have a whip antenna for the other side of the Octopack i just didnt have it on in the photo. The black box is aHawk Woods NP1 shoe that has 4x power outputs
  17. Latest bag setup with Timecode Buddy
  18. ditto to all the above but you can get the TX power function unlocked for use abroad or with special licence in the UK. Please correct me if i'm wrong but i think Lectro are about to realise UCR411's for the UK market but they will still not be compatable with US block 23/24 Calum
  19. The front of the bag is a Hawk Woods NP1 shoe power distro. I have been running the Octopack with 8 blk 23's with no issues for a couple of years and now, I also now have 8 606 with new boards that are also running very happily with as good performance as any other block I found that having some RF reflecting cloth against the 788 and keeping the cl8 side against the Octopack for a little separation means that spray is greatly reduced. The Dipoles are now missing 2 screws!!!!!
