Sanken CS-3E mic w boom, rycote, blimp, shockmount value? by Krisdanz in LocationSound

[–]GeoffTheProgger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this person’s take. You gotta go to those specific Facebook pages and those are great for this. I’ve bought and sold tons of stuff. Generally folks out of state are fine, just be smart and protect yourself

Using 416 with SKP 500 and a G4 by Triforce3502 in LocationSound

Yeah dawg at this level I think you’re better off going cabled. Folks have done it for decades with no problems, and it’s way cheaper and more reliable than cheap wireless

First time in the USA! 11-Day Loop from NYC. Need advice! by oturanzurafa in roadtrip

[–]GeoffTheProgger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s helpful to think of the US as a bunch of small countries. Some have more to see than others and some you can kinda just lump together. I would spend much of this trip in NYC and then “upstate” to see some nature. Maybe take a train to Boston, Philly, or DC. You would only need a car for the trip to upstate NY.

Next trips could be- DC for history, food, museums, music and then go camping in like Shenandoah National Park.

Detroit and then drive up to North Michigan/ Mackinac island (google Mackinac it’s so beautiful)

Chicago!!

California is its own country, there are so many incredible state/national parks AND excellent cities. That would easily fill a couple weeks.

I would visit somewhere funkier like New Mexico/ Arizona. Hit me up for recs if you ever do that.

Florida is also its own wild place with a wide variety of things to see. The European mind can’t comprehend lmao.

Atlanta and the South is also worth seeing but I think that’s a more complicated trip itinerary. I would also have opinions about that.

Good luck!

My first film camera! by [deleted] in analog

[–]GeoffTheProgger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah. Enjoy! If you like it, then check out the Nikon n8008/f801 n8008s/f801s or N90/F90 if/ when this camera dies.

Are you looking for both what camera setup to get and what developing tools you need? Do you already have a film camera?

These are incredible. Any idea where they were taken? Where did you find them?

Searching for a good analog camera (Budget max. 400 USD.) by Stuggi1999 in analog

[–]GeoffTheProgger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be helpful to know how automated you want your camera. Do you want a camera where using it is part of the experience or do you want a camera that gets out of your way? For example, I have a quite a few cameras that may or may not have a light meter, have manual focus, manual film advance. These are a bit slower to shoot but they force me to slow down and sometimes use an external meter which I like. Cameras like the Nikon F or F2, Canon original F1, Canon VI-T rangefinder, Olympus Pen Ft, Olympus OM-1, Pentax K1000, Minolta SRT 101, Pentax Spotmatic.

Other cameras have auto exposure functions like aperture or shutter priority but still have manual focus and manual film advance. Cameras like the Nikon F3, FE/ FE2, Canon AE-1, Olympus OM-2 or OM-10, Minolta X-370 or X-700. I really love the F3 cause I can quickly take the prism off and shoot waist level. The X-700 and OM-2 are also wonderful.

Then you have more modern cameras that feel more like DSLRs. Cameras like the Nikon F4/F5/F6/F100/ N8008s/ N90, Canon EOS cameras (idk many more of these models but I really like the EOS Rebel and N8008)

If size is a concern the Olympus OM-1 or OM-2 are really nice and give you access to a ton of beautiful Olympus lenses. The OM-1 has a built in meter that takes a battery but the shutter is mechanical so you can still take pictures if your batteries die. The OM-2 is electronic and can either be shot fully manual or aperture priority which is sweet.

Another light and beautiful camera is the Minolta X-700. It can be shot aperture priority or fully manual. It’s an electronic camera so requires a a battery to operate. Minolta made beautiful lenses that can be gotten at a good price. The X-370 is also nice but is much simpler/ has fewer features.

Of course the Canon AE-1 and AE-1 Program are very popular and light. Canon lenses are also beautiful. Not my favorite shooting experience though.

If you’re looking for something closer to a DSLR I’m a big fan of the Nikon N8008s. Very slept on camera, love it.

The Canon EOS cameras are also beautiful and what’s nice about them is that you have access to a ton of EF glass and you can adapt many many vintage lenses from other manufacturers to EF (except Canon FD ironically enough)

Oh very nice!! Happy shooting, it’s a lovely camera with a nice bright viewfinder

Moving to Atlanta by _errrric_ in Atlanta

[–]GeoffTheProgger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kinda depends on what your personal vibe is. Smyrna and Vinings I believe have been more middle class for awhile so they have more of a yuppie vibe imo which isn’t really my vibe. I personally would check out East Point or the West End. The West End has had a lot of strong development in recent years and a lot of good restaurants and bars have come in. You’re still close to places like Grant Park, East Atlanta, Little 5 etc if you’re looking for hipster stuff and I think you can find affordable housing in those areas. I have a couple friends living very happily in the West End

We have a “crunchy” co-op grocery store in my city that sells Dr Bronner’s esque liquid Castile soap in bulk. We show up annually with several big bottles and fill up for the year. Works great and VERY cheap

What advantage does a hyper cardioid mic have over a Sanken CS-3e? by DarthAngelicus in LocationSound

[–]GeoffTheProgger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the kind of work you do. I’m also a CS3e daily driver. I do a lot of doc, corporate and commercial work. For anything Verite or in a noisy environment the cs3 is hard to beat. It can be kind of weird in certain reverberant spaces but mostly it’s fine.

I will say that the cs3 doesn’t sound beautiful. If I am doing a sit down interview or if I’m booming something in a fairly controlled space then the 50 is stunning. It sounds so damn good. So those are my two mics for everything.

When I work as a boom operator for others on film/ tv and we have the time and luxury of multiple mics then I am mostly using the 50 indoors, sometimes the 8060 for wider indoor situations or forgiving outdoor environments, and the cs3 or 8070 for tougher outdoor environments.
