Hello all. I want to reduce weight and size of my cart. Do you have any tips, on lightweight antenna mast and pair of rear weels? here's a picture of my actual cart. It's steel structure, Avenger steel antenna mast, and big weels. I want to reduce the wide to the recorder size ( a little more centimeters). thanks all for any tip, or advice. Maybe be i go for the cart bag configuration, but i don't like it a lot....i've another recorder in a bag for cars etc..

Thanks for the suggestion. Today he'll assembly and power test. let's see what happens. I let you know the end of the movie

Thanks, yes we're on the same page. None of the equipment was powered, and it was not salt water but drinkable water from the tap. I assume that as it's summer here, lot of people out of the city, so that increases dramaticaly the city water system pressure, so something on the house has broken, and it stays pourring water until a neigtbour closes the main water pass. He sent me a picture of all the ifb's and some RX dismantled getting dry , sad. But it will work ok.

A friend's house flooded yesterday and some of his equipment got wet. In the past I have only had water problems with transmitters and I have proceeded by disassembling and immersing them in isolpropyl alcohol. And it has worked in 75% of cases (although future corrosion is uncertain). Is there any reason to believe that isopropyl alcohol can damage some equipment? I know that it damages the appearance of some plastics, but nothing more. Will it hurt LCD screens? What is certain is that you do not have to give them power. opinions?

Thanks for your comments. If the 833 has limiters on all analog inputs, is a good news. I don't know if it has limiters n the aes inputs, but i'll call them. I don't want to spend 1700 in the sonosax surface control, but i need need to say it should be a good piece of equipment, i prefer in this scenario to put the money in the recorder. Seems the 833 has a chance. Thanks all.

Hi, we use a Cantar X3 and a X1, but this unit needs to be less expensive. We need 4 AES inputs, at least 6 analog inputs with limiters, time code, metadata, surface control possibility and 12 tracks. The 833 seems to not have limiters on the 3 line inputs... a peety, but despite that with the AES accesory, and the +4 plug in, it doesn't sounds bad.. I don't know if it has gain in the aes accesory inputs, i guess it should have. It will be for film cart use.

Hello all. someone knows if Sound devices is going to discontinue the 833 ?, we need to buy a new recorder, and i don't want to buy a unit that's going to be discontinued soon. Paranoia? may be. Sonosax, is the other option to me but more expensive, and propietary ( beautiful) surface control. Any other recorder on this 7K that worth the pain? Cantar mini is gone.....f&%$! The Nova, if it's the only Zaxcom product on the cart, makes sense?

Hello all one of my HI-Q 98 with less than 40 charges, has suddently decided to keep sleep after total discharge. i’ve 2 chargers a 2 bay audioroot, and the one Aaton provides with the X3 none of them can charge it. What can I do to wake up the unit? thanks for your ideas. i’m using this batteries on my cart, no water, no short , nothing clean thanks!

Hello We are shooting with water and one of my skp3000 has been soaked. Now it works but it has loose the phantom. Someone knows if the phantom circuit is in the rf board or the pcb one ? Thanks for the information

Hello all. I've worked in my first film in 1996 with a rented inmaculate Nagra IVS , and it was an excelent experience. In 94, i've used a Nagra III to record some cars FX, and mono backgounds for a film, and it was very fun. I've since 1990 a Revox B77, that's in the shelf now, as a pair of Uher reports, but i never owned a Nagra. In my country a guy is selling a Nagra III and a Nagra E, and my blood starts to boil again.... The III is a legendary machine, but it's older, and i'm affraid something goes wrong in the future ( it's working fine now). The E is simpler, and newer, but less attractive to me… Somone knows which has the best preamplifier?, i would like to run a good dinamic mic...and i don't know if they can handle a Schoeps or a 81i or they overload…… I need it? noooooo I will work with it? nooo I don't know, what would you choose?

txs Paterson, the previuos owner, did a frankenstein solution, but it seems to solved the trick, look at the picture!

Hi Matthias, yes i'll use a Aeta Mixy french mixer, very good preamps, and limiters. The stereoline transmitter has an ugly 4 pin lemo conector, and needs to be wired with some electronics into....
