I have send you an updated version to try. If it is a better fit I'll post it again on the forum. In case anybody wants to test/try the updated version. (see it as a public beta:) Please send a PM.

Have you tried switching the output level from mic to line?

Nice design! The use of the Makita drawers looks great. I was thinking to make something similar around the Milwaukee packout system. I'm hoping they'll do a 19" version of their packout at some point.

Good to hear you got the smaller version printed. If you can provide me a more specific description or picture I'm happy to adjust the design. As for windprotection, I've experimented with these two options: If you use a 6060 in a Bubblebee Windbubble (smallest) it fits into the shield and stays fairly secure. Pull the mic a bit to the top op the opening for best sound. Another way is to put a sticky with a hole and put a small wig on top of the shield. If you have found/tried other ways I'd love to hear it.

There is, but I haven't printed and tested it myself. But feel free to try! I'd be happy to hear any feedback.. !!! I've taken down the file because it was a bit to big, will upload updated version soon. !!!

The bag is the Retrospective 5 v2.0. I'm happy to share some more pictures soon.

Hi Osa, It is good to see some prints finding their way into the field. Also nice to hear that you have had a good first impression. Hopefully this combo will help you in many scenario's to come! I might do a smaller version for the mini foamies at some point, I'll post them here when it's done.

I might as well post the file here. My recommendation is to smoothen the surface after printing. Also insert mic (Cos-11) into Foamie first and after that slide it in the cover. Curious to hear your impressions after testing. all the best, Lucas foamy v3_dik.stl

With the shield the foam becomes like a shockmount. Also you can put a windcover over the opening on top. If anybody is interested to try it out, send me a PM for a stl print file.

Dear All, I'm an avid user of Ursa Foamies. Since they often have a short lifespan, I made a small shield to protect them from all the tape abuse. Also it works very well in thicker fabrics and jackets and it gives a fair bit of isolation.

I've been using a 633 with several wireless in a bag for years. Recently I changed to a 833, SL-2 combo, mainly to get rid of all the cables and connectors and get a more tidy setup. In my search I wasn't attracted much by the current offerings from the known bag vendors for this particular setup. Mainly because of the size and extra bulk. I ended up getting a thinktank bag that I had to mod slightly to get it to behave more like a soundbag. It is a light bag and fits the 833-SL2 combo (unintentionaly) very well!

The Pianissimo MS stereo version comes with to small mic connectors inside that connect to the XLR under the windshield. You could easily use only one mic and add a fig 8 later, but the xlr on the stereo version is 5 pin. So even if you only use one mic I recomend to use 5 pin on your cables.

you could try wrapping some ptfe thread seal tape around the outside of the connector. It can be relatively easily removed and leaves no residue.

while looking for some tools I crossed paths with this: the festool MW 1000 https://www.toolnation.nl/festool-203454-mw-1000-basic-mobiele-werkplaats.html Of course this is not made for recording purposes, but curious to hear if anybody has already tried using this in the field? it can be used with different kind of drawers and festool even has a powering solution:) https://www.toolnation.nl/festool-accessoires-205721-sys-pst-1500-li-hp-sys-powerstation.html?sqr=festool sys power& I imagine it could be a fun modding project.

Voodoo or not, I like the radiance explanation. I once worked on a doc were the one particular person was always causing problems with the digital wireless. Always prepped and tried everything to make sure it was working 100% before he showed up. More often than not I had distorted signal and significant decrease in range. I never could pin down what caused it, but I found that an analog spare set that I had did the job.
