It's the Little Things...

I was upset to find that a number of the elastic bands on my Sennheiser MZS-40 shock mount were cracked, after one of them broke. I feared a frustrating search at the Home Depot, or worse, sending Eric around the Cape of Good Hope to locate some for me. But I scaled the search back a bit, and found the most wonderful answer. Look no further than your junk XLR bin. That's right. The little gasket on a Neutrik is the perfect size to solve this issue. Not being round, they slip in the mounting groove a little better (if you orient them correctly). And they even seem to be a bit burlier. Can't wait to hear how they (don't) sound.

 

It's the little things. Thanks Jan!IMG_1134.jpg

This one was huge for me:  Wristband Phone Holder.  Heard about it on the Location Sound Podcast.

I wear it on my upper forearm, receiving video from HollyView or Red Control, to make sure my boom/shadow/reflection isn't in the shot before they call action.

 

Bet someone's mentioned this before but I didn't see it in this thread.  Thanks for all the helpful tips for a newbie, I'm about to paint my castor brakes with nail polish :)
