A hello to all existing R4 Pro users and to the memories of those of you who have moved on.
I am just about to use my R4 Pro on a short shoot and I've only ever used it on FX gathering with AAs or inside with the lead. I don't have my own NP1 or other battery set as i don't usually or often production record (so i can't test things). I'm also currently miles away from any big city hire place.
I plan to ask the cameraman to hire and bring a couple of Hawk woods NP65 or 70 batteries with an unregulated NP1-XLR4 cup. Will this do the job? Should I get an unregulated cup/lead? Forgive the perhaps obvious question - the manual is pretty scant on info for external batteries (suggesting pretty much anything would work perfectly ...)
Thanks in advance,
Jez
