She didn't make the finals and I get the reticence to verify with Face Book. Thanks all for reading and considering!

For a few months my granddaughter CJ has been in a contest to become the next Junior Ranger. With a little over a day left she is 5th in her quarter final group. She needs to be in first to move to the finals. Today happens to be two for one votes and I'm pulling out all the stops to try and get her to the next round. Voting is free unless you want to make a donation which yields more votes. CJ has visited a National Park every year since she was a baby. Now she's eight. https://jr-ranger.org/2025/cj-09eb Thanks so much! If this post isn't allowed please move or remove.

Avoid the microdot connector. I have a micro WLav Pro and the microdot became intermittent in a very short time. You can get the mics terminated with the connector you need, and for your use it would be advisable.

Thanks so much for letting us know the Senator is doing well! Please pass along my regards the next time you speak to him.

Give the Diety mics a listen if you're still in budget mode. They have a 416 style mic that is budget friendly and built as tough as a 416. Might be just a little heavier.

I've used the Wind bubbles on smaller Omni lav mics (Sanken Cos 11D) Very effective and not a huge profile.

I've used digital gain on my boom channel. Sounds fine.

Just listened to the demo on the website. Very impressive! I didn't hear any artifacts and the nuances of the recording were all intact. I work with most of the noise reduction programs that are out there and I look forward to potentially adding this one to the arsenal.

The device you linked to looks like a modified rifle support monopod. I do something similar with a modified inexpensive monopod. I go to the ground though, I don't use it at my waist. Its great for on the fly interviews that go on for a long time. If you don't have to move too much that might help. Or it looks like it would be simple to rig up some sort of strap for the monopod I use.

If you put a sound file into Izotope RX, the spectral view can really show you what's going on with frequencies. If you wanted to send me a file that has muffled audio, I could load it in and see what's there and what's not there. It would be a fun informative exercise.

Beautiful work and very much appreciated!

I have a copy of Producing Great Sound for Digital Video, second edition. It comes with a CD. The CD has tutorial tracks, diagnostics, and demonstrations. Would this be an updated version of what you have?

That looked promising but looking at the reviews it was mentioned that it drys hard. What hard means pertaining to rubber could just mean that its not tacky when dry. Hopefully it will still have some flexibility when cured.

Haven't done what you're asking but Parts Express has lots of speakers and speaker parts. https://www.parts-express.com

I beta tested these and gave the unit a few good slams on the concrete floor of my basement. Didn't break anything.
