My Lectro MM400's have been put on surfers, kayakers, sky divers, and fallen 90 feet out of trees onto rocks. They are 10 years old and have never failed. They are like little armoured tanks. If I dropped one into a bucket of sea water and threw it at a concrete wall, it would likely survive just fine. My TRX LA2's, I keep in a cloth protective bag so their plastic won't get scratched. And I know exactly how long they would last if dropped in salt water. So, I'd rather not argue with you about how durable Zax transmitters are. I would make a polite request for you to design one that can compete physically with a Lectro Tx- after all, the recording function is most useful when the subject is out of radio range- like those surfers, kayakers, and sky divers often were. If Zaxcom is going to be the only company with a recording wireless, it would be great if you guys made one that's up to the challenge of the conditions where it's recording functions are most needed.

That is why the Tascam DR10C can't be sold in the USA, and instead they sell the Tascam DR10L (which lacks the output option on it). Buy them from Pinknoise in the UK then. They are happy to ship.

BAB414 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Larry, I received the package a few days ago and I just have to say again how blown away I am by how classy and amazing Lectro is. I want to thank you and the rest of the crew over there for the kindness and the awesome products. I'll be purchasing 2 of the new transmitters for my next big job.

Thank you.. I got 120. I wish it was easier to control gain. The two button freq is less worthwhile to me. Using that to control gain makes much more sense.

Jaymz Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Picked mine up today. Interesting that it's still transmitting while in record mode, just the mic signal doesn't get transmitted.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Yes, interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewmoreyears Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Humm... Battery life may be better without the transmitting while in recorder mode.... Maybe that is a software fix away from simply working at a later date... (legal issues considered).. And... on another note, with 2 Black Enloop pro batteries -2450 (about 8 months old) (powered up with mic plugged in) I got @5 hrs of use until flashing red light.. Seems less than with a standard duel battery SMQv at 100Mw.. Wondering about my soon to arrive single battery units.... Hoping for at least 3 solid hrs use with the rechargeables.

Jaymz Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Came here to post the same thing, SMWBD flashing red after only 3 or so hours of use with 2300mh batteries here. Will do a thorough test to see how long until complete shutdown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryF Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Remember, the battery voltage measuring circuit is not dependable on NiMh rechargeable batteries. Complete run down will be a solid test. Best Regards, Larry Fisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymz Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 So today I ran a SMDWB (w/DPA Slim pluged in) with 2 x Ikea Ladda 2450's @ 100mw. Red light started flashing at 6 hours. Complete shutdown at around 7.5 hours. I did the same with an SMQV with 2 x Amazon High-Capacity's (2300) and got around 8.5 hours until shutdown. I wonder if turning off the LED's and putting the BackLight on a 5sec timer would improve things (by default LEDs are on and backlight is always on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am running some tests now..my numbers on SMDWB was only 5:11 on New Enloop pros 2450, till shut off... I am putting those Brand New Enloops through a few cycles of charges to get to the bottom of this. I have a test going now with a SMWB single battery unit, this is all at 100mw by the way.. I got 4hr 50 min on the first go round till shut off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
