Eric Toline Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 FYI - Each year your mattress gains approx. 1 pound in sweat, dander etc. per person. TMI, TMI. That's gross. Sweat & dander I understand but what's the "etc", dead dust mite droppings? Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewFreedAudio Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 FYI - Each year your mattress gains approx. 1 pound in sweat, dander etc. per person. I'm going to burn my mattress now. As for gear, I bought quite a bit. Zaxcom Fusion 12, Zaxcom IFB kit, Neumann KMR-82i, SD MixPre-D, another BDS system for my lightweight bag (MixPre, Zaxcom hops, QRX100 receiver, etc), a couple more channels of Zaxcom wireless, Zaxcom camera hops. Side note regarding purchasing of gear through here. I bought many of these new (to me) items from other members here on JW Sound and every transaction went very well! It's a great group of people and the one or two bad apples that have sprouted up can't seem to spoil the lot. Non gear purchases: Saddle bags for my BMW R1200C motorcycle, moved to LA from Minneapolis, And what did I sell this year? Avalon AD2022 mic pre, G&L L2500 bass guitar, MOTU 24I/O, quite a few effects pedals that were gathering dust, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Marc Wielage Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think for me, it was switching all my mounts over to the Rycote Invisions, and also the little Remote Audio RM remote power meter for the BDS. Oh, and finally getting an IDX charger and some LiOns, and getting rid of the NiCads I had used for 5 or 6 years. Major weight loss (in the battery department). I don't drink, but I'm thinking about starting. 31-year-old Scotch sounds like a good bet. --Marc W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris McCallum Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Zaxcom TRX900 with STA150 and QRX100 for hops and 2x Zaxcom TRX900LTH and another QRX for wireless. Nomad next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Gilbert Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Not the most expensive kit I've bought, but the MixPre-D and Petrol 607 bag will make the doc I start shooting next week a lot easier on my back, so I guess they're a contender for 'Best purchase' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john Quinn Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I purchased from Ebay 4 x MSA Sordin Noise Canceling Headsets all brand new and boxed for my Motorola GP340s for princely sum of £7.96 including VAT ($10) they normally sell for about £239 each.

John Blankenship Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 On the post side, it would be the ProTools system added early this year. It doesn't sound quite as good as the SADiE system, but handles tons of tracks and plugins admirably, as well as simultaneous hi-def sync playback. On the location sound side there are many things, some large, and some small like the front casters I added to my cart -- on smooth surfaces, no more tipping, just pushing. The voltage and current meter added to the cart (that may have been last year, but my appreciation continues). Then there's the additional IDX NP1 Lithiums. I love having plenty of spares. I can run the cart all day on NP1s just by swapping out one at a time in the dual battery holder. Of course, the PSC Cart Power (custom voltage version - for lithiums) continues to be a joy and I can plug into AC whenever I like without any switchover issues. There are others that don't come to mind at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrider Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Betso TCD-1 Compact Timecode Display. It's a timecode reader you can mount on the front of your rig so you don't have to keep up with a full size slate on run and gun shoots.

It's a timecode reader you can mount on the front of your rig so you don't have to keep up with a full size slate on run and gun shoots. Achieved similar results from a ipod touch and a idevice cable from remote audio. I do like the big display on the besto. Just seems a little steep pricewise.

chris_bollard Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 So much gear (in a year). Single malt is the only way to go (spirit wise). Tasmanian single malt - Lark is pretty good; http://www.larkdistillery.com.au/ Gearwise it might be my four bay simultaneous NP1 battery charger, to keep the 788 fed, but thinking about it that's pretty dull so would maybe say CS3e. Haven't pulled the old mics out since I got it. Everything I was told was true and more A second xbox 360 to stop the kids fighting was a great purchase too!
