I've done a search here on JW Sound etc and have found a couple of useful threads but not much... and I have texted/called my brains trust but thought I'd ask the oracle that is this forum... anyone have any info or advice for me on outback / desert shoot?
here's a few things I've figured out or have been told:
gel packs for the 788T to keep temp down (plus back up machines)
fans on cart for air for kit and me
careful with cables when they get hot (not so much of an issue with wireless and being cart mode, admittedly)
seal Transmitter sockets to prevent sweat getting in
neoprene / neopax to prevent overheat Tx from hurting actors
plenty of sunscreen, loose clothing, hats
fridge in back of sound van with beer/cider/cryo packed steaks...
warm clothes for cold nights
water bottles at the ready for hydration and gatorade powder for when dehydrated
paintbrushes to keep dust out of gear, mini compressor in van to do same + canned air & mini vacuum cleaner (fine bull dust is an issue in Outback Australia).
What else has everyone got?
Thanks in advance,
Dane
