If I'm building a package for him I'm going much more expensive. With $35000 that's begging to get pissed away!

thanks Phil -we dont have locally , ill check the US and German sites
i dont think i need large consol - iam thinking to mix mostly from the bag .
which recorder you did mention has 6 channels at least ?
the films i worked on where recorded with dat mostly or 2 dats for 4 tracks .
do you really think i need a slate - we never used on video shotes , free run tc and regullar clap.no running digits ,
the batteries are for external power not for the transmiters -iam thinking about 190w li-ion the same as the camera -4 like that
do you think ill need another recorder or 1 is enouth and if **** happens i can go directly to the camera ?(i still dont know which it will be)
thanks for your help

Yes, a very talented sound man. Didn't think you would know him but you just remind me of him for some reason... :happy:
But while we are on the topic, why $35,000 for sound? Seems a pretty random figure if you have no idea what you need.
Most people that don't know about phantom power also aren't familar with IFB's or RF distributors. What exactly is your background with sound? We would really need to understand this if we are going to help you. I KNOW you wouldn't want to waste our time, so I don't want to waste yours by giving you information you already have.
Since it's March 30 here and not Saturday yet, I wouldn't want anyone to to come in here impersonating Oleg and give you bad advice. Oleg is not what you would classify as "in low budget" so he will have the info and equipment choices you need. Explain to him your background and wait for his return and you will get all the info you need. :thumbsup:

i worked on sets and the soundman gave me the receiver he called ifb -that why i know what is ifb , asked for 2 since his stick man had different one and the soundman communicated with him during the shot while in my there was nothing only the mix track
and yes, i had few days as second assistant so i asked what are the aditional box the antennas are going to , what is a phantom power and why i need it ?
and who is Oleg?
the one i found was baned ,so I guess its quit hard to reach him befor 1st of April ( NEXT YEAR)

If the environments are that harsh, I'd recommend the Senn MKH series of mics - get a 416 or 60 for the shotguns and MKH 50 for the hypers.
If you're doing a movie with not a whole lot of dialog, do you really need 2 mixers, multiple mics and booms, etc?
Get a shotgun ($1500), a hyper ($1500), 2 windscreen setups ($1000), a sound devices 422 mixer ($2500) and a sound devices 744t ($4000). Get a boom pole or two ($1000). That's $11000. Budget extra for cables, cases, bags, and power. ptalsky made some great recommendations on brands and models for all of that stuff. Just ask yourself if you really need multiple channels of wireless, IFB, etc. if you were:
a) willing just to loop in post
b) doing a film without much dialogue where you do the sound yourself
I think you could get some really quality equipment for a lot less than $35,000 and do perfectly fine, IF I'm understanding your needs correctly.
Just for reference, I just did a shoot the other week with an MKH 60 ($1000 used), a ktek boom/rycote windscreen ($1000) and a sound devices 722 ($2300). I would think that the sound I got sounds as pro as you can get at ANY PRICE POINT assuming I picked the right mic and style of booming for the situation. I'm sure it's no where near as good sounding as real pros in the field because the limiting factor is my skill set, not the equipment. All for a lot less than $35000.
