  1. I’m a DOP and I often need to shoot without a sound person for smaller documentary shoots. My solution for this is that I have a stereo microphone setup usually in a rycote wind shield mounted on a Monfrotto Nano stand. I send a wireless signal from microphones to the on camera receiver. Then I place the microphones as close to the action as possible and reposition it when I can. This is mainly for capturing ambient audio. For dialogue I put LAVs on the talent but then of course clothing rustle can begin to be an issue. If I’m in a smaller room then I set the microphones up on a boom stand. I never bother with an on camera microphone due to all the operating handling noises, focus motors etc.
  2. How do you attach the Sonosax to your camera rig?
  3. I really like the Sonosax and I use it as my computer sound interface. Word of warning about that though. Set the screen to automatically turn off as mine now has screen burn in. 😭
  4. I agree with you assessment to RME support forums, I just bought and interface from them, and they treat you like S#$t when you ask questions. I just wish that sound devices had a 5.1 interface, unfortunately they don't so I will have to stick with RME it seems.
  5. This Europe pricing thing is pretty interesting. In Iceland the Lectro HM plugin transmitter costs $1386 (with dealer discount), when you add the VAT on top of that it becomes $1740. AKA. Really expensive.
  6. Try unveil, I think it is pretty sweet. http://www.zynaptiq.com/unveil/
  7. The link spam is still coming up for me, but it is inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes the urllinkshortner spam pops up.
  8. A video introduction. Seems to be pretty good value, $749, for plugin transmitter, body back transmitter, and body pack receiver. Metal construction I wonder what corners they are cutting. If someone sees these at NAB could they take a look. Wondering how it all compares to the Sennheiser G3 system.
  9. Does anyone know anything else about these new units? http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/products/broadcast-products-professional-audio-hybrid

    What is this?

    Thanks for the responses! I will check out the device. The photo was taken at a theatre project in Edinburgh,Scotland called the salon project. Hence the the nice attire. http://www.untitledprojects.co.uk/projects/the-salon-project The Bag is a billingham.

    What is this?

    Does anyone know what this portable boom holder is called? Or is it a custom piece?
  12. Feels a little strange adding a picture of myself into this epic thread... Looking it but grumpy - From waiting in the cold I would suspect.
  13. Arg. I want a small 4 channel recorder mixer.
  14. Correct mostly. However, I am very much aware that it is not a plug and play solution and not expecting that. So I would appreciate it if we can get past that and focus on techniques and tools that can make a difference in a nosey environment. Meanwhile, I will continue to read and research, and see if any of it relevant to the situations that I am working in. Thanks for your time.
  15. No way. I will try all of the offered suggestions in the field when it makes sense for the situation. I think that was totally unnecessary comment. I get the impression that some people like hammering away at the inexperienced between gigs to pass the time.
  16. This is what we do most often. And in this way reduce unwanted sounds as much as possible. I will start working with the off camera interview technique and move the microphones as close as I can to the talents mouth and see how things improve for us. I am literally all ears.
  17. Sure, without knowing the jargon it is hard to ask for specifics.
  18. Please don´t take the appearance part to seriously. There are cases when visually it is nice to have microphone in the frame that conveys a certain mood. It is a form of prop that needs to be considered. Regarding lavs, I will defiantly look into some more. And hopefully find some techniques for attaching them really quickly in an unobtrusive and comfortable way.
  19. Yes, this is essentially the question I am asking. I just assume that the recording starts with the microphone and then you build it up around that. I am a little perplexed why some of the response is so vicious. If this is all so offensive then just pass this thread by. Apart from that, this has been a very constructive discussion for me.
  20. I quite liked it, especially considering the price. Sure, you can get better but for me it is at the point of expensive diminishing returns. And just for the record I am not looking for approval https://vimeo.com/43111661
