Olle Sjostrom Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 On a more serious note, this production is a very stressful one, so anything to keep our spirits up! And yeah, the senator reference is real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Cameron Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinpou Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
