Marco Lopez Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hey guys, I'll be on a shoot where the main actor, due to the rain, is going to get gradually soacking wet. There's no dialogue under the rain so, I'm save in that sense. My main concern though, is that in the interior scenes, where he'll still going to be wet how could I avoid the lavalier in getting in touch to his wet shirt and getting damaged? I talked to the costume designer to see if he's going to wear a sleevles shirt under his shirt and she still not sure. So, in order to be prepare for all events, I was checking the mole skin or use some pieces of transparent tape to protect the capsule. Could any one of you guide me on this one? Thanks in advance, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Gilbert Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I can do it in one word Countryman........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Lopez Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi guys! I have Countryman B6. So what you are suggesting is just stick it under his shirt and is going to be fine? No worries? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I can do it with one link http://countryman.com/store/product.asp?id=1&catid=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi guys! I have Countryman B6. So what you are suggesting is just stick it under his shirt and is going to be fine? No worries? Thanks Make sure to use one of the frequency adjustment caps that comes with the B6 for it to be water resistant. It's not technically "waterproof" but is "water resistant" with a cap in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 well, if i remember right, even with a B6 - if there is a drop/film of water on it, it sounds "different". so you may need to mount it upside down, so gravity takes the water away from the top of the mic... -vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Wielage Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 You could also use a boom! You never know -- it might sound better than a soaking-wet lav under certain circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Lopez Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 You could also use a boom! You never know -- it might sound better than a soaking-wet lav under certain circumstances. That's my first option, but since I'm combining it with the lavaliers, I'm trying to figure it out.

gregd Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 You could try the VT500Water. www.voicetechnologies.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Lopez Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 You could try the VT500Water. www.voicetechnologies.net Thanks, I just checked it and the specs look great. I have the VT500 which is amazing in noisy environments, so I guess the VT500W behaves the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
