How should I deal with Arri UDM Sensor unit?

Hi all.

 

I’m working on a set where the camera crew prefers to use Arri UDM Sensor unit.

Which uses ultrasonic pulses to measure distance.

 

There are some moments when my mic captures the pulse and records a continuous beeps.

Especially when it goes CU.

It doesnt happen always but it does happen often, so I’m keep asking the camera crew if they could take the UDM off. And they do, for the day.

But put it back on on the next day until I ask them the same thing again.

 

So.... I was wondering

if this is going to be my life till the end of the show?

or are there any tips and advices I can get to work around it?

possibly making both, me and the camera crew, happy?

 

Thanks,

Eugene Kim

Hi,

what kind of mic are you using?

And is it  wired or wireless?

 

Mark

 

Sennheiser mkh8060 w/skp2000

I guess it doesnt go well with wireless boom ;(

 

Seeing the comments, I guess I’ll have to use my cables to avoid this.

 

But every cine gear is going wireless and wireless...

Now each dept are even using iphones to monitor.

So... I’m not sure I can catch up the production speed if I go back using cables alone. haha.

 

Thanks for all the reply tho!

As far as my experience goes, it appears on sennheiser sk5000 series. I had that problem only on lavs, not on the boom.

 

You could ask the camera dpt to aim lower to not hit the boom. 

 

 

This might be one way to try.

Thank you.
