this is n-2 expirience outside few years ago
cheap noisy Genny , short of cables ,sirens , garden workers ( allot in
the richest neighborhood in Israel , about 400meters from US ambassador
house and many others ) , dozens of small plains which take off from not
faraway airport and passing slowly in the sky , 20 assholes from the
advertising burro which not shut the **** their mouth and cellphones during
the shots , the dogs barking , pass-by cars on the street which couldn't bee
closed and other usual problems as wide lenses and low angles
Marty, you can tell Sanken they still have the best short shotgun for these
situations
the Sanken cs-3 e did it it again and with knock out
and that is intereals expirience of n-2 few moths ago
i took down the last line as it made few people mad here
As you know I produced with a friend 20 minutes pilot for TV in the last 2
weeks and all the shooting where made inside one of our friends pub during
the last 2 days ,
the decision that was made by producers is to shoot all the scenes with
quit awful ( sound wise) air-condition system and the bar refrigerators and
beer coolers working from 2 very important reasons . 1 we didn't have the
money for external air condition with the pipe and 2 I dint want that my
people who are coming on Friday and Saturday (about 60-70 people ) would
have to suffer drinking hot beer ( not enough that they had to drink the
local).
so - the shootings where grate and we finished about 95% of what we planned
with only one shot that would have adr ( read about later) and that thanks
to one microphone only ( there were 2 like that on the set) you are right ,
sanken cs-3e , these small guys pulled out the dialog in tremendous way that
left all my options deep down inside the bag , and I had few to check
The 816 , 416 , the Neumann 81( friends ) , the Schoeps cmt5( that i got
from a friend ) and the 541 - not even one of these mics was close to get
the dialog out of the f .. noise,without ask the people rise their voices
what did very bad to their acting ( fresh ones and non actors).
so next time you ever consider mic for these kind applications you
probably get 1 like that .
by the way - we got some donation so at least Guinness drinkers where more
then satisfied at least me who had a roll of fisherman( homeless) sitting
outside the bar trying to catch some one who will invite him to drink . I
did it in one take finishing the half pint of Guinness at ones I caught
"the saker" - one take actor, the shot would be published on the web as
soon we will start editing so you can see it with your own yes and of
course hear the sanken . that was recorded by my booman and boomed by the
first camera assistant, so if it of mike a little it might be ill have to
adr my self)
conclution - you didnt hear anything
my advice sell the 70 - buy something usifull for real life

It seems odd that you are resistant to the oktava idea. It is areally great mic. We are not all crazy. I did some tests side by side with my schoeps and I was suprised how good the oktava really is. You would be absoloutly crazy not to get one. Less than $200.... you can't beat it.
The only downside is the need for proper wind/shock protection (kssm and BBG)

LOL, no surprisingly there is not a lot of demand for "Beach Blanket Bingo in Seattle" movies. Might have something to do with our dreary skies and vegan lifestyle
But seriously, I have done some stuff on our waterfronts with lavs (& microcat) and/or short and sometimes long gun. But for me so far that has been probably less then once a year. Rare enough that just renting would take over 20 years to break even. It's actually the downtown Seattle shooting that more often requires the long gun.
