Hi all can anyone recommend a V-mount battery adapter plate that also has 12V outlet options. The one I was using by Smallrig https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1606755-REG/smallrig_2886_v_mount_battery_adapter_plate.html suddenly stopped working; there seems to be no overload protection...

Hi all i have a space available to me at no cost to record sit down interviews (oral history of the subject). This is the what the background looks like (I hate it but it what it is) - what would you suggest as far as dressing this space? TIA

Hi all when using a Giant Squid lav mic with a Rode wireless system, I get a weird interference which disappears the moment my hand either holds the mic cable or cups over the transmitter. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to eliminate the problem. TIA

Hi all, Tried syncing 3 cameras but have run into a problem. Camera's are a) Panasonic camcorder recording ProRes on Atomos recorder, Nikon recording ProRes on Atomos recorder and Sony A7 recording AVCHD internally. Each camera has mic attached and captured the sound of the slate just fine...

I would love to see a photo of Joshua's setup and then from Noiz2 (or any other contributor) on how to better position the mics cheers

Hi all considering a Panasonic HC-X1 for school performance events; interested to hear from others if there is anything better at this price point that I should consider. Thanks for any input.

If you were travelling overseas as a one-man-band and wanted to shoot two camera interviews PLUS stills; what camera gear would you choose? I guess the same question applies to sound & lighting. cheers

Hi all I'm shooting long sit down interviews using two different cameras that each use the AVCHD format. For each camera I would like to: 1. Import full AVCHD .MTS spanned clips into Resolve, without re-wrapping or transcoding 2) combine spanned clips into one continuous file I will then...

Hi all shot an interview today using two camera's (Sony and Panasonic) When I import the AVCHD files into Davinci 14, I end up with multiple .mts files from each camera. How do I combine the Sony .mts files into one (and likewise for the Pany) so I can then align the two resulting files and...

Hi all have been given a Sennheiser ME67 microphone. When I position the mic in the Rode blimp; the mic tip is just a fraction back from the tip of the dome. Is this OK or will I run into problems?

Hi all I'm keen to hear from the audio experts on this forum about this comment "the fan sound is similar to an air conditioner, and consistent enough to remove with simple noise reduction software." It's a quote from a filmmaker reviewing an LED light that has a fan which he uses for...

There's an episode on this by "Ask the gaffer" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZwxJrEmsYU

I'm curious; a number of times I have suggested the Sling Studio might be a simple way of doing livestreaming but it doesn't get mentioned by others. I know it's wi-fi based, but reviews by the likes of Mr Cheeseycam suggest it's fine. The same was said about the Rode wireless and a DVX member...

Hi all just curious as to whether anyone uses dual system sound where the audio is captured to an external recorder and then fed into the AC-90 or whether the pre-amps are good enough not to warrant this approach? (or even if you capture audio to an external recorder and sync in post) cheers...
