Hello Listers. I have had my video gear sitting idle for a while. I've been busy being retired and mostly doing stills for fun. So I whip out some of my kit today and find that some of my Manfrotto camera attachments are deteriorating. Most of the Manfrotto items, like say my focus control...

I sure many of you have a closet full of older generation high quality soft boxes. I do. What have you done to make the adaptation from the typical old school Chimera-Speedring set up to Bowens. TIA Grant

Rycote is now in the shotgun microphone business.

Hello Listers. I need to purchase a new monitor or two for my work station. This is like prepping for a root canal. It is probably going to hurt, and the end result could still cause me some pain and be expensive to boot. When I read user reviews, virtually every monitor has enough detractors to...

Sound Devices has been acquired by Audiotonix. They own some other quality companies so I guess we can hope for the best. G

I totally agree with Alex. In my case, have the NTG3, 4053b, and AT875 mentioned. For what I paid for all three, I could have purchased a high end mic of some sort, at the price of versatility. I figured that if I needed better sound than what those mics and some other good quality mid-range...

DPA makes some pretty exceptional gear, so this review caught my eye: https://www.redsharknews.com/dpa-microphones-4097-review-this-is-the-tiniest-shotgun-mic-youll-ever-see Thoughts?

Hello Listers, I want to add a pop filter or two to my kit. After looking through what seems like a meager selection at BH, I decided to solicit the audio board for recommendations. This will be used for VO and possibly music vocals on a RE20 and or a AT4050. So far I've looked at the Shure...

Hello Listers, I'm trying to expand my capabilities and wondering about stereo mics. In particular I am thinking either the AT4029 or its longer brother the 4027. Both have lots of features and versatility. The more expensive stereo types are out of my network. For indoor applications...

I decided to engage the brain trust. I am in search of a quality, full-frame, very wide angle zoom (or possibly a prime) of 12-14mm on the wide end. Not too concerned about the upper end of the range. I have a 16-35 II and want something a little wider. This would be used primarily for...

Thinking about a fast to set up diffusion scheme for LED panels for a basic interview. What do you use? I'm trying to broaden my horizons here. I have some decent daylight panels and a few bi-color units as well. But I have just never really warmed (pun intended) up to them much. I so much...

I have a small home studio where I do a few projects. I have one of the small adjustable cheapo $70 dollies which fits a C-Stand and it is more than handy with a couple of sand bags for ballast and a smallish light. I know this dolly is pretty wimpy for this duty, but it is only for me, so I...

I am sure the audio braintrust can help me with this. So I have a 17' skiff I am restoring and and want an automatic fog horn. Typically this is done with a VHF marine radio and a 4 ohm hailer horn. The foghorn amplifier and timer functions are built into the radio. Except, the nice and new...

Howdy Listers For sale is a complete Kessler Crane System. I am the original owner and all the hardware is in excellent condition and only used in the field a couple of times. With typical Kessler quality, this system can get you up high when needed, and with the short tip option works great...

An adjacent thread is seeking a multitrack computer recording option. This might have been placed there but seemed like a hijack, so here goes. Does anyone use Apple MainStage for anything? Seem like it would have some serious editing - creation power and if needed can record. Note, I've...
