wingman?

Won't work. There's a detection process to lock out BT adaptors of unknown make and performance - which is totally understandable to me. BT Smart/LE can be a heck of a bottleneck that completely wrecks the experience - if somebody knows it should be us, it's not without reason we had to give up on TonMeister/Beetle for 6 series and went WiFi instead.

Then the WM Copnnect doesn't break the bank and that angled adaptor alone is worth a lot when working out of the bag.

Agreed - and i figured as much. Would rather have the proper dongle designed with reliability in mind. but to me not about breaking the bank, more about actually being able to get one. Demand is super high. Supply is now non-existent. I am on a wait list but PM me if anyone has an extra to sell!

"...and that angled adaptor alone is worth a lot when working out of the bag."

I hope so, it looks like it may put the dongle a bit near to the fixing strap holding the recorder in the bag. I've got left and right RA USB cable adapters I might give a go if this is the case. Anyone in uk got their dongle yet?

The only thing I find wrong is the impossibility to arm a track if it was not enabled in the app.

I found this odd if we're referring to the same thing - on the iphone at least you need to swipe onto the second screen meter view for wireless track arming

So far the only thing I can have a problem with is the availability, as is in, my UK dealer (who I reserved with - September 8 ) received 2 of 10 ordered and is told "unexpected demand greater than supply". Looks like marketing a special BT dongle (for 10 x times the price ($100 in UK) of a normal BT dongle) = 'special' availability. Who would have thought so many 6 series owners would want such a thing after a year or so of anticipation?

Don't know if I should create a new post for this but I am having my first issue with Wingman and the 688.

Renaming 688 files from the take list on wingman, on the iPad, would only rename the files on the SD card!! The files of the CF card would not change.

Had a few minutes of fear on day one when not finding a file I was sure to have recorded and renamed.

it was on the Sd but on the CF the old name remained.

It is a big issue for me as I wanted to handle one of the card and keep one for my own backup. But since at the end of the day they don't have the same files name, although same content, it is not cool.for peace of mind.

so I am back to renaming via the 688 menu...

besides I do not understand since one can't choose which card is affected by the renaming on wingman why would not it be on both. Mirroring should be the rule in that case imho.

Am I doing something wrong? Anyone experiencing that? Shoot is pretty hectic I don.t have time to search around with it ;-)

Thanks a lot

Fred

Hey all, I'm enjoying my wingman setup, but discovered that  I get a rhythmic popping sound in my headphone return of the 633.  This is with the dongle in the right angle adapter and close to the unit.  Has anyone else had this issue? Fortunately,  it stops when you unplug the dongle...  I'm usually keeping the dongle unplugged in a side pocket and I stick it in when I need to use the wingman app.  Not ideal, but still easier than using the mod knob to enter long names.

cheers,

Brent Calkin

Hey Johnny, My bag has all the usual ENG/doc stuff, a 633, Zax qrx200, an assortment of Lectro 411s, comtek transmitter and a block 24 Lectro hop.  All attached with a BDS.  Never had any strange sounds or interference.   As soon as the bluetooth dongle was inserted, the return started put, put, putting like a small 1960's  Evinrude 2 stroke.   I haven't taken the time to test each device in my bag against the dongle, since in the pecking order of gear on my bag, Wingman comes pretty much last, and fires up fast enough that I can plug it in when I need it.  The important test I need to do is to see whether that noise ends up on  the tracks, or whether its only on the headphones.

Cheers,

Brent Calkin
