Regards to wordclock... you can sync the wordclock of 2 Cantar X2s resulting in 16 tracks. 8 per machine. It’s just to digitally lock 2 machines together.

She is an awesome person. She taught my analogue tape class at Berklee. Very accomplished. -
This video hurts my soul.

Could be bone conductive ear pieces. I believe they have both in ear and around the ear.

One problem with the newer LR-4200 is the battery life. The specs say only 8 hours of use from a charge. They don’t have a replaceable battery so you would have to have a full second set to get through a day. They are designed for use in concert venues and broadcast applications where they are typically only used for 4-6 hours max.

That is really cool and fascinating! Thanks for posting

Tips&Tricks to stay comfortable in uncomfortable weather conditions?!

Shade is also something that gets me through hot sunny days. -
You can still only have 10 inputs total when using the mini. If you need more than that you can move up to a full X3. The hydra allows you to interface the super slot info of the receivers for control by the mini or x3.

I was told that it isn’t just the battery door that needs to be replaced but the entire case. This was from the service department at Trew. Sending me a new battery door doesn’t solve my problem. Yes I added a post to Betso Customer support because this is a support issue. These are the experiences I have had with support for my product. If people in the states want to buy a Betso product they should be aware that they may have to ship to the Czech Republic. Mine is only one experience as we can see from the many positive experiences posted here. I have chosen to not pursue to have the problem fixed because I decided it’s not worth the money or my time to go further with it.

I never complained about you responding. I actually said that you were quick to respond. I never sent it to you because fed ex wanted over $100 and UPS even more just for shipping so I explored other options. I sent it to Trew because that is where I bought it and they thought that they could fix the door. They determined that the door couldn’t be fixed and that the entire unit housing needed to be replaced by you. And the battery door wasn’t bent. I had only used it a few times so it’s not like I had mistreated it. They said the little ball under the door had shifted. Nothing to do with lubrication. I think it’s fair to let others know of the service difficulties with Betso products being that there is not a service provider here in the states. I never had any issues with the stability of the Timecode just the housing which I determined wasn’t worth fixing due to the high costs of shipping. The unit is still not fixed and can’t be fixed unless I send it to the Czech Republic. I have other options and would rather not spend that kind of money on shipping. I also have another friend here with a faulty door. He received a replacement door but has not replaced it due to the fact that it is a very precise process and not easy to accomplish since you have to drill into it to replace the door. I had no desire to try it myself and that is why I sent it to Trew. Not as easy as ABC. I don’t appreciate being attacked when I tried to be honest and upfront about my experience.

My biggest issue is that I have a sbox1n with a faulty door and it was going to cost over $100 to ship it to Betso. I tried Trew Audio where it sat for a couple of months before telling me they couldn’t fix it and it would have to go back to Betso. Not worth it considering I have Ambient boxes as well that I have never had any issue with as well as service availability in the states. Even though the Betso Timecode was solid and Jan was good I communicate with I will never buy another Betso product because of the lack of service here in the states.

Thanks for the correction. I didn’t have the regulations I’m front of me and couldn’t remember the size on max allowed. I personally don’t have anything over 100wh so it’s never been a problem for me however I have been stopped and TSA said they had to check with the airline even though I showed them the regulations. The TSA agent had no idea what they were doing. They asked me if it was for a hover board and I said no and then they said it was fine to take them on.

No lithium’s in checked luggage. You can end up with mega fines from the TSA. Even possible jail time. Only carry ons for lithium’s and you can only have 2 batteries between 100-150Wh. If they are under 100wh them you can have as many as you can carry. Over 150wh are not allowed.

Rode Blimp basket / Rycote compatibility?
ryanpeds replied to ocampbellsound's topic in Do It Yourself
I second Jez. Buy a fatter rycote. -
I’ve switched over to the SKB i series cases as they are much lighter and I like the latches more.
-
I carry on my bag with my lithium ion batteries and check everything else. There is always a chance of getting stopped at security but it usually only takes an extra 5 minutes for them to swab it and move on. Batteries are are the biggest hassle as each TSA agent thinks they know the rules when they actually don’t.

I broke my 688 door for my cart recorder and after taking it off I feel free, especially since I never closed it anyway due to all the problems with disconnecting/reconnecting. I have reached out to SD about a replacement and will hear back hopefully soon. I’ll let you know how much they are in the event you choose to mod one.

I would think you would have to completely disassemble the SM so that you could machine a larger hole into the spot where the antenna comes through.

4 channels audio over radio camera on OB
ryanpeds replied to Lancashire soundie's topic in Cameras... love them, hate them
You could consider bypassing the camera and feeding the audio using an SDI audio embedder after it comes out of the camera
