Derek H Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 Has anyone dealt with these stupid things and figured out how to quiet the fans on the transmitters? I’m dealing with 3x of these Storm 3000 on set and the fan noise is significant on quiet scenes. The assistants have no idea how to control them and the user manual says nothing substantive about almost anything. Any ideas? I have to imagine that there’s some sort of PC USB control to tweak settings but if so it must be dealer info only. I guess that’s my next stop.

LuisT Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Hello Derek. I am shooting since may on a series with only Vaxis transmitters and receivers. There is a auto and low fan mode. But my 1rst AC said that you can turn off ALL fans completely without overheating the unit. You can manually change the fan on the vaxis itself. You need to enter the menu with the buttons and then change the fan mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted September 16 Author Report Share Posted September 16 Thanks Luis, would you mind asking your AC friend how to do that exactly? Our ACs have no idea. Storm 3000s on our set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted September 16 Author Report Share Posted September 16 Nevermind, we figured it out. It’s much more quiet in low mode than auto. If it helps anyone in the future on the Storm 3000 transmitter you hold the left button for 4 seconds to get into the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisT Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 You can turn them OFF without issues. Its even quieter and we had no issues all summer in hot environnements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted September 22 Author Report Share Posted September 22 The ACs won’t go for that but LOW mode is a big improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobi A Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 I had an AC tell us that they couldn’t be turned off, not sure if he didn’t want to or not that smart…. I ended up doing it myself. Pretty sure if they get too hot the fan would come on. They are ridiculously loud for an on camera TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
