I bought the Tascam DR-70D recorder, and since it explicitly was designed to also be able to be bagged, I wonder what bag you guys think would be good. I don't see any bag suggestions in the accessory lists with retailers like B&H, nor on Tascam's site. FWIW, the dimensions of the DR-70D are...

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for some kind of hard drive type device with card reader incorporated to which one could dump the camera card or sound recorder card while out there during production. Obviously, many people bring along laptops and the like, but a laptop is...

I am at the end of my rope. UPS is so bad on my street in Los Angeles, that it's giving me ulcers. I have yet to receive a UPS package without multiple phone calls and idiocy Every. Single. Time. The building I have my stuff delivered to, has a gate that unfortunately has no phone. UPS drivers...

I have a whole bunch of cables, and I'd like a method to quickly pick up what I need and also to avoid confusion on set. For example, most of the time I can tell just by looking if a cable is 10' or 20' but not always, especially when you have cables of different brands, or the lengths are like...

Don't know how much genius, but there's a video and description: Genius Tape Dispenser

Tentacle Sync - Indiegogo Eu 380 ($475) "If you buy this package you have everything you need for all kind of standard productions: two cute little Tentacles, Tentacle Sync software and cables. Just take it and be happy! 2 x Tentacles 1 x Minijack Sync Cable 2 x USB Charging Cable 1 x...

If you are in the market for either, you can save about $60: The Rode NTG-2 for $209 and free shipping The Rode VideoMic Pro for $179 and free shipping I am not affiliated with Adorama (except being a customer) and don't profit in any way from this.

I have the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro. However, it occurred to me, that maybe a sound kit ought to contain more than one production headphone set out in the field; what if someone else wants to hear or monitor the recording, passing the same headphones might not be ideal. Is it sensible to have 2 -...

Tascam DR-70D - tons of features in the link: http://www.tascam.eu/en/dr-70d.html

Scott wisely observed, in another thread I started: "You will need a bag. Not sure who said you wouldn't but... You will need one." Well, then, what about a bag? What bag do you use? What bag do you advise I should get? I read this long, long, long thread over at jwsound: Show me your bag...

Senn mke-600 $279, mkh-416 $879, mke-400 $169, Rode VideoMic Pro $189. I've been looking to pick up the Senn mke-600 and that's a good opportunity; I wasn't going to buy the 416, but I wonder if this is a good enough price, or is it better to try used on ebay etc.? Edit: I have no idea why the...

I'm just trying to assemble a minimalistic audio package so I can shoot some upcoming shorts and things, and the expenses are literally not coming to an end. I've already spent thousands and no end in sight. And I'm only looking for the bare minimum! What am I doing wrong and how are you guys...

I now have a bunch of cables of all kinds (mostly XLR mic cables) and lengths and I really have no idea how to store them rationally. Right now they sit in a milk crate higgedly piggedly all more mixed up than a dog's breakfast. My molars hurt just looking at them. I'd love some kind of...

I was wondering if when you put on a blimp, do you leave the foam on the mic or take it off? Apparently opinions differ. First there is John Willet - who I believe posts here - he thinks you should definitely take it off: "BTW, one more question...Do you leave the foam windscreen on the mic...

I bought the K-Tek KE-89CC boompole which is about 29" folded (and about 1.5" diameter). I was looking at boompole bags/cases, and saw the K-Tek boompole case for $175, but that's a bit spendy for me considering the boompole itself was also $175, plus the case is backordered at B&H. I looked at...

Hello friends, I'd like to start a thread, that if successful, might even become a sticky to which we can continue to contribute for a long time as gear comes into play. This is a place for all sorts of film (TV, commercial, event etc.) related gear that's maybe not immediately easy to classify...

OK, so I was just thrown a curve. As I said in my previous thread, a friend of mine offered me the Rycote S-Series 450 Windshield Kit because he wasn't using it anymore. Initially I was happy that I wouldn't have to buy a blimp system, but then I looked into it, and realized that it wouldn't fit...

A friend of mine heard I'm buying sound gear and he had something that he almost never uses and so he is willing to lend it to me: Rycote S-Series 450 Windshield Kit. But that was before I decided on a mic and put an order in on the AT875r. I looked up the 450 series, and I see that it says...

Since I'm a sound moron/newb, I am unable to make any contribution to this forum, and have mostly been a taker. In trying to at least make a tiny contribution, perhaps I can draw your attention to a case that caught my eye. I've been looking for a case for the sound gear I'm buying, and this is...

Looking for a shotgun mic. Will be on a boompole, going into the Tascam DR-60D. Narrative, mostly outdoors. Budget about $300. For shotguns I tentatively narrowed it down to these two (don't see the point of the NTG-2 in this case). Quality of sound is the key, of course, but one consideration...
