LuisT Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 What are you thoughts on using a A20 Mini for boom use with UMP 3? Should give more dynamic range for scenes going from whisper to shout without extreme gain change. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 i thought about it for a short while, but decided against it as it would mean buying the UMP III, and a few NP50 batteries and a charger. and two more A20s. I will wait for the inevitable replacement of the A10. the A11? the A10X? the A10-32? the shutupandtakemymoney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisT Posted September 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 You are probably right. Maybe a V2 of the A10 in the big format with GainForward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek H Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 I’d rather they just make a plug on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrimic Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Thé A20 mini is made to work with lavs only. I tried to use it with the UMP3, but it’s not working. The only way I found to make it work is to ad a transformer between the UMP3 and the A20 mini. Not really practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwil Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Saw this on Facebook. Some people are using the A20 mini with UMP3 successfully it would appear. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.shapeways.com%2Fproduct%2FCFER6W76J%2Fboom-pole-bracket-a20-mini-ump3%3FoptionId%3D300277728%26li%3Dmarketplace%26fbclid%3DIwAR2ZPqrEGfewgD8zbUuLaf7W0onYOtpsavX8Em_jQIb2JWaYen2y-PB2w94&h=AT23lCPqVGwWOQZeeAGwTS7qeEIsph7f-dHlxNR_MHc4yox4_4pcZsSCJwDI93IbhTK1v-3lUX6uU88mgobprpGVyQREuLqJus_GcJtpHZEFdgwPch4o79uc_yhnjRzvZ9bnXrw&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT3jEbO3Vmj4n-_qUbC0geBIUpf3nUOPCek1aYgRpyFWIgh0IbQN47U9WlR3SsmWiQn-zpWqteJTxKDciD32MW4cubvU5mnK8xGup_eW4pICETCOopr9J_sTvzSjepi3mhljWWOh3ua6Jv5JQIwufMNWLnVQVcjpS5WN4ec I am not yet an A20mini user so literally just passing this on - no personal experience sorry.

I would never want to put that amount of gack on the mic end of the fish pole. My boom operator would never do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VASI Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Worked an entire season, over a year; with MKH 70 + MTP 40 + PHA48 + Sennheiser Windshield / Pistol Grip; 100% for exteriors. Seems like people complain about weight and size where the thing is, the pointless to extend boompole (wide shot) in 6m to capture - what? Especially when the actors in looking like an ant in frame. Plug-on or cable is fine. Even the MTP 40 + PHA48 is fine as well with MKH 50. I would carry more about "how it sounds" compared to cable rather than if it is A10 or MTP 40 or DPR. At least you have plenty of time waiting the lighting dept. to do their work, so you get enough rest. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofp Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 I have Ambient UMPIII, QWB mount with an A20. Total control from my Nexus/883. Absolutely lovin' "all that gack." 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
