I wonder how the unit will work with a lav with a higher sensitivity. Rode rates their Lavalier Go mic at -35dB (that's the model listed as an accessory for the GO II). That's pretty high....

Impressive!

How does it sound with your OST lav if you crank up the gain on the transmitter? So you wouldn't need as much gain on your Sony camera?

Thanks for your report!

Interesting. Where are you an intern?

The whole proximity/tranparency thing feels weird to me. But Fred gives away a lot of knowledge based on a lot of experience. So overall, I think he's a useful resource and worth reading... And in...

I just googled that quote about "transparent" lavs. It's from a post by Fred Ginsburg, the guy who wrote the article Paul F linked to and (most likely) the Audio-Technica article you linked to (see...

That's interesting. Fred Ginsburg, who wrote that article, does (or at least did) a lot of work with/for Audio-Technica, and I'll guess (without reading closely) that he wrote the article on AT's...

Ya, those DNB numbers could be way off, especially for Zaxcom, and perhaps also for Sound Devices, Lectro, and others. But coarsely, I think this is likely:

Good thoughts. So I did some quick googling (always risky) and find:

Great response Mark. Thanks!

My -hunch- is that the BMD camera has two filters, to save space. So there's a 2-stop and a 4-stop, and they can be combined for 6 stops. But I don't really know.

Here's the specs from BMD's site....

Hopefully I'm not veering too far off topic (qualifying as "too far" on dvxuser is pretty challenging :) ), but considering your FS7 and a7sIII, what do you see as your next purchase? Let's assume we...

Based on the inexpensive tiny 32-bit recorders from Zoom and Tentacle, I'll guess there's an inexpensive chip (or collection of chips) that'll do 32-bit recording with a low power draw. And the...

The software Rode Central app is out now, and looking at Rode's product page and press release, they don't mention TX recording being an upcoming feature. OTOH, Rode says the TX can "store over 24...

Fujifilm has included a single built-in ND on their X100 cameras (the ones that look like classic 35mm still rangefinders) for 10 years. But my guess is having a fixed lens and esp. not having IBIS...

SF, let us know how the system works for you. I'm especially interested in range when running a lav to a transmitter attached behind the talent so the signal has to pass through the body.

Thanks...

Yes, but that marketing explains why some potential buyers are upset about the AF. So their complaints are understandable, if misguided.

I think I agree with you, but then BMD says on their webpage for the camera:

That bump between the top two buttons is most likely the lav. The wearer would have sounded better with the lav lower, and that'd make it easier to match his and his victim's sound. His tracks could...

I would be surprised if they weren't omni lavs. I own 18 lavs (currently) and only have two directional lavs. I only use them if there's a ton of ambient noise or potential issues with phase...

From the BMD site:

Blackmagic Pocket Camera Battery Pro Grip
The optional battery grip holds two
NP‑F570 batteries so you can shoot for up to 3 hours!

I guess that's 3 hours...

Are you talking about Preordering All Sony Stuff Gear Acquisition Syndrome, aka PASS GAS?

I have no idea what the US price will be, but I found this via a quick Google search:

"Sony may soon release the FX3, a cinema camera version of the full-frame A7S III mirrorless camera, according...

No need for a newer addition because nothing has changed. :-)

(Not my work; found on internet and thought of all of you...OK, thought of all of us)

Not sure these will do what you want, but I like Rycote's InVision/Lyre mounts. If you want to drop the mic below the handle, maybe you could take one of these mounts and flip it upside down. I think...

Probably too new for this year's Sundance-style films...

But ya, images from the FX9 are nice, huh?
