Alphabetical, memorable, easy to spell, distinctive and you of course have to make the decision to have an abstract, or descriptive name. For example, if you did audio, you could have Alpha Audio - which ticks loads of boxes, AA gets you near the top of listings, the Audio bit is a describer...

I got offered the same radios Charles mentions with different branding, but turned them down because I simply don't have any Windows XP computers to program them with - Windows 10 and 11 certainly will not run the software. The sample they sent felt pretty decent in the hand and I would have...

I'm in the UK, but I sell a lot of radios, and hire them out. Motorola are popular, and often 'asked for', but the plain simple fact is that while they are tough and reliable, so are plenty of other brands. Distance is not a manufacturer based feature, but a physics one. Power output is not as...

Today things are coming together - things starting to talk to each other. However - I've filled the space and have lost count of the times I have tripped over cables at knee height.

Thanks Charles - I'm looking at two blackmagic different models, plus the JVCs. They all have versions of output.The ATEM 2M/E is not the constellation version so does not have conversion available on individual inputs. So I am looking at 1080 at 25 and 50 and variations of interlaced and...

Thanks - the price point between what they ant and what is achievable for the budget is always a pain - I think you are right in accepting the short delay - and to be fair it would also allow some edits too? Made some good progress today - both blackmagic cameras can be made very similar to the...

Thanks Peter - internet is not wonderful. One of the venues I work at regularly is running the entire place on service that means facetime, zoom and even watching youtube is impossible - they have a big LED screen, and it uses a web interface to upload new video files and it's really awful. Lots...

I've got some new jobs coming up this year with previously audio only recordings - not really important for this post, but it is choirs and acoustic live performances in churches, and other nice spaces. Can I provide video with the sound recording? Yes - looking at the piles of gear in the...

From the comments I expected to hate it! I thought it was pretty decent, and a good story too. Dark, and murky fitted well - and I liked the sound design.P

I cannot comment on the cameras, but I can on the lighting - we have controls, dimmers and a variety of their lighting kit still on the shelves - but it's sort of very underused. We also have a large lighting heritage collection. The Arri Fresnels tungsten Fresnels are nice, and we still have...

I am going to be different. I have always struggled with material of this kind. Im the sort who cannot watch even a soap on tv where the husband is about to walk in on the dodgy wife. I read the comments all technical, and intended on doing the same thing. I couldn’t. The camera work, the...

Yes! I wonder if he ever got anything done. Oddly, I now have a 6 year old grandson with the same condition, and Ryan has helped me enormously understand (or at least understand a bit) - and develop good strategy for dealing with it. The snag the OP has is sadly, the very common one. A group of...

On another forum, cant remember which one, there was a guy who constantly asked for advice on making his movie. Evreything he posted rang warning bells. I think his name was Ryan. Totally crazy ideas he would not set aside. Always the same story, slightly tweaked and clearly, everybody involved...

I'm a sceptic - I read the article, and all I remember is the half a dozen or so of these that I sold - with a reel to reel video recorder that you dangled over the shoulder. I'm glad they recorded direct to pro res, but we had those cameras on demo plugged into a variety of monitors of all...

Did they really use old tube cameras or was that all simulated to look old? Those old cameras were not just black and wise and low res, they had terrible lag, especially in low light - and i saw no lag or ghosting? Not convinced we are not watching treated modern video, made worse.

The snag with shotguns in reverberant spaces is that anything with an interference tube design is more cardioid than lobar below 500Hz just where the reverberant mess is!

On your tape quest. Remember you are buying old stock. Some VERY old stock. The only difference i ever detected in tapes over the years was quality control, never quality. Oxide shedding, tolerances in the housings, that kind of thing. Never image quality, just preventing it dropping. Some...

going back to post 1, quick record was frustrated with not being able to get through an interview without pops and ‘static’. It’s quite possible that this could be nothing to do with other wireless mic users. I have one receiver that is faulty. It is a bit deaf, and has thwarted all my attempts...

I totally get the point about power, but only really agree on the benefit in certain circumstances. If you are in an RF sparse environment, then removing the risk of oversaturation makes sense. Its interesting though that some makes seem to cope with this better. Most of my video work is indeed...

I smiled at the notion of turning to lower power. This is kinder to OTHER users, but a killer to your system. Much depends on a really good knowledge of how RF behaves in crowded spectrum. Nothing to do with digital either, being honest. Digital hides issues, but they are still there. You just...
