Peter Mega Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hi, I'm off to Wellington, New Zealand for a shoot in early May. I was hoping to find out frequencies of TV transmitters there so I can avoid them. Or any info regarding frequencies to avoid etc. I'll be using my Lectro block 22 and 29 for talent mics. Lectro block 24 for IFB's Zaxcom block 31 for camera link/hop. Thanks for any advice. Regards Peter Mega PS whats the weather like in early May?

Adam D Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hi Peter I'm a soundie in Wellington. Blocks 22 and 24 are fine. 29 should also be fine but starting to get dangerous. You may get away with Zaxcom 31 but no guaranties. You can search frequencies here http://www.rsm.govt.nz/cms If you need anything let me know. May is cold. Not freezing but rain and wind. If you need any camera bits and peaces talk to: Rocket Rentals http://www.rocketrentals.com/ or Camera Works http://www.cameraworks.co.nz/ Adam Adam Dransfield Location, OB and Studio Sound Po Box 11-465 Manners st Wellington New Zealand Ph +64 21 455997 http://www.adamdransfield.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVS Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 You'll need your best wind experience and gear to cope....winds of over 70mph+ are common...I'm happy to help if you need any advice +64 21 453322...Adam is spot on with the frequencies. Expect the unexpected... BVS Brian Shennan . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Mega Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Many THANKS to you both for the useful info. The wind warning in particular is a great insight. I'll be sure to keep your phone numbers with me in case I run into any major problems. I'm from Sydney, Australia so thankfully its a relatively short flight too!! Thanks again and regards Peter Mega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam D Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Almost forgot. NZ Customs can be a pain in the ass. I did a job in Sydney two weeks ago. It was late notice so didn't have a carnet. I did an export order and had it stamped by NZ customs on my way out. AU customs didn't have any problems once they realized that I was from NZ and had no intention of leaving my gear behind. But when i arrived back in NZ I got a "warning" form NZ Customs for not having a carnet. Serves me right for being honest and declaring my work equipment.
