OK, I have no idea what that means, sorry :( In any case, I want to clear up what I need. A 4' long pipe. At one end "A" is the light fixture. At the other end of the 4' long PVC pipe, "B", are the 12 on/off switches. I need to break away at point "A", not at point "B" - in other words, I need...

The reason I need a connector is for breakdown/storage convenience of the light. See sketch: Now, a 1" PVC pipe (not pictured) is going to go into the center of this square at 90 degrees, and all the wires are going to go from the bulbs through the 1/2" PVC pipes and support struts in the...

I have zero skills drawing, so apologies for how crude this is, but regarding #1) the bus bars would be two like the ones I linked to on Amazon #2) connector sketch - idea being that it's like a breakaway cable - I can connect and disconnect very easily, and it'll always connect/disconnect...

I am NOT an electrician. I only know extremely basic stuff like hot, neutral, ground and serial vs parallel circuits. I want to build a light I need for an idea I have. Basically I want to have a 12 bulb light (each bulb 85W). I want each bulb to have its own on/off switch. The complication is...

I have a bunch of large spiral fluorescent spiral lamp bulbs (11" long x 4" wide) and no easy way to store/transport. I have seen soft bags for them, such as the Westcott LampGuard Case or the Alzo Bulb Case, but there are a couple of problems - they are slightly too small (designed for 10.5"...

Amazon The Studio "On Monday Amazon said it would begin to produce and acquire feature films for theatrical release that it would then stream on Amazon Prime four to eight weeks after the theatrical debut. Amazon said its goal was to cut down the 39 to 52 weeks it usually takes for theatrical...

I've looked through the various threads here and can't quite find what I'm looking for. I'm looking to buy a largish production bag. Here's my use scenario. I need to quickly grab some equipment and throw it into my car, but find it difficult to deal with 15 small bags that are all difficult to...

I'd like a portable headphone amp with mini jack input that has enough umph to drive at least a couple of monitoring headphones through a splitter. Obviously, since this is intended for production - dialogue monitoring - I don't want the amp coloring the sound in any way, just supplying enough...

Digital Juice have a "Shadow Kit" which is basically a set of cucoloris solutions, which they ordinarily price at $599. They are running a sale right now for $279, but to me, it's still way out of my budget for an item like that. I happen to have the Alzo Easy Frame Diffuser Reflector, which is...

I have accumulated quite a lot of Sony L type batteries that I use to power lights, monitors and the like. The problem I'm having is in storing them neatly when I take them on location, so that they are not just sitting in a sack. I'd like a case where I can see them at glace, and separated...

OK, I might have gotten carried away there, but it's 2015 and I figure we're living in the future, where gas power generators are small, light, efficient, and most important - SILENT. Batteries don't cut it in some circumstances, and that's when generators come in. Last time I looked into...

B&H has been running 24 hour deals recently - different deal every day - and today there's the Vidpro XM-55 Shotgun Microphone Kit for $59 which is a big discount from the ordinary $99. I actually have this mic, which I bought on Rick's recommendation; I have tested it briefly, but not used it...

So after a lot of searching I came across a bag that pretty much takes care of the cable situation. It's from a company called Cablephyle - they have several bags, and the one I bought is the CFB-03. For whatever reason, I think they are low on inventory of the CFB-03 at the moment - they sell...

So I have a bunch of Zoom H1 recorders and some wired lavs. I was thinking of how best to place the H1 recorder on the talent's body. I know there are various waist, thigh, ankle belts and shoulder harnesses with and without pouches: Wireless Mic Belts And also the NeoPax belts: NeoPax...

I wonder if anyone has any thoughts or feedback about Saramonic audio products - it looks like they're trying to compete with the Beachtech and JuicedLink lines with nods to Tascam: Saramonic Audio Saramonic SR-AX107 Saramonic SR-AX-X1 They also have a bunch of recorders. The links are...

I'm interested in recording dialogue indoors and wanted to use a cardioid of adequate quality. I was considering these three mics: Rode NT5, CAD CM217, Samson C02. They are all roughly the same price - "very cheap" (though the NT5 is a bit more), but what I was wondering is what would be the...

B&H are running some Black Friday related deals in audio. Nothing earth shattering, but f.ex. brand new AT875r is going for $129 which is a mild discount (I picked up another one, so now I have two). There are a few other mic and recorder combo discounts.

Like it says on the tin. This is of course the original (older) DR-60D, not the newer DR-60Dmkii (which goes for $199). I bought it for $149, and at $129 this is even a better deal: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/dealZone.jsp The deal expires in less than 12 hours.
