Not sure about your specific problem but I've used WD-40 to make mine like brand new. Takes a few applications and a bit of elbow grease.

I had a similar problem with a fader on my Command 8. Opening the unit and reseating the faders plug into the board did the trick YMMV

Nice!

I tend to split the difference on close ups so the camera perspective doesn't dramatically change, unless there is some strong reason not to.

I had no intentions of going analog on my cart build, but the opportunity came up to pick up a well cared for AD 145 so I took it. Hoping someone can help me understand the gain staging as it seems a bit unusual. The channel faders go to 0, and the master faders go to +10. What I've noticed is I have to lower the channel fader about 20dB to match the PFL level. Shouldn't they be the same with the fader at 0? i suppose this isn't a problem because I have plenty of gain available on the recorder, but would love to understand the relationship.

I recently asked a DIT the same question, they said it will work.

I've read that apple will allow royalty free usage if they are used in the proper context. Make sure the sound the phone is making matches the intended function of that sound, and make sure the phone is an iPhone. Not sure if you need written permission

Was hoping for a helicopter type thing.

Would it be possible to run one of these SNA with 72mhz antennas?

It's very study when the wheels face front and are locked, not worried about any tippage. In the photo the wheels are facing back and not locked

Finally getting close to finishing up my new cart. It started out as a Magliner water cooler bottle cart. I flipped the nose and added 4" locking casters to the front. Removed a shelf to make room for the rack case and have repurposed the rack case lids as work surfaces. The front lid can be secured to the top of the case with window latches. Added four QuickFists, three for boom poles and one for an old pole repurposed as an antenna mast. Rack contains an AC power conditioner, a 3u and 2u drawer. The drawers didn't have latches, so I added some magnetic cabinet latches and hey work great. LED light strips under each shelf, and one strip on the top of the bag. Would like to add a couple more strips inside the drawers, the tungsten nightlight bulbs in the power conditioner is seriously testing my OCD. Oh yes, and a cup holder. Last step is to figure some kind of cart power solution. Extremely happy with the build so far. Total cost around $400.

Indeed, my mistake. Even more negligible.

When I do audio post, I always roll off the dialogue around 12k, sometimes lower. 5ms = about a quarter frame of latency. I would call both of these non-issues.

Good to know, thanks.

Stick with the headband, I've had great success with this method. Baseball hats and headset mics can both obstruct the puppeteer and create rustle/handling noise.

Beautiful Jan!

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Indeed

+1 on the used 211 route. Cost a bit more then g3's but you I've found some good deals out there. I tried the Sony once as a hop. It belonged to the DP so i used it and I loved the interface but can't speak for the sound quality as I never heard the return. G3's are solid for the price

Not trolling, I've used Dropbox a lot in the past, but have grown to really dislike it. I do a good amount of post production and have to send and receive larges files all the time. My gripe with Dropbox is that to use it properly on large files, both users need to be paid subscribers. Can't tell you how many times a client shared a 50GB folder with me and I couldn't open it. (when I only needed a few files) Other file transfer services only require the sender to pay to send large files, the receiver can download them for free. I know you can send direct download links but it's not really the way it's designed to operate and many users don't know how to use the feature. Now I use Gobbler to send files to clients and backup projects to the cloud.

i hate dropbox

Call Bob Wendt. He's really cool and helpful. I called asking what points i needed to tap off to modify my x5 for direct outs, he walked me through the whole thing in 15 minutes. Stand up guy

good stuff!

I've been bullied off public sidewalks in NYC by property owners fed up with the constant filming in their neighborhoods. Can't say I blame them
