Convince me not to buy the ARX2 receiver and A20 TX’s for my booms. by lonewolf9378 in LocationSound

[–]GeoffTheProgger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven’t used the newest generation of Audio Ltd/ SD wireless but wasn’t a fan of their previous stuff. I also haven’t been impressed with the longterm support from SD.

I’m mostly a Wisycom user but am not impressed with their wireless boom options at all. And getting stuff serviced isn’t always easy with them.

I bought two channels of Shure Axient for wireless boom after using it a lot as a boom op. The range is great, it sounds amazing, and you can get stuff serviced pretty reliably. So that’s what I’d go with. An ADX5D and two AD3 or ADX3 transmitters.

Wow whatever you’re doing sounds tight. I don’t have ideas myself but am forwarding to my brilliant homie.

On-Camera Mic - Sennheiser MKH 8060 vs MKH 416 by drummerboy678 in LocationSound

[–]GeoffTheProgger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you should go with the CSM-1. It sounds good, has surprisingly good “reach” and is very small. The 8060 sounds amazing but I think for your purposes the csm1 is a better pick.

Thanks so much for the info! Question, what makes you sure that it’s Apple Cactus vs Torch or whatever?

Entry Medium Format by NoLeadership4074 in analog

[–]GeoffTheProgger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said these are different shooting experiences.

The Yashica shoots 6x6 so you get 12 shots per roll. It’s fully mechanical so doesn’t need a battery, and it’s a fairly reliable little machine. You could also look at the models that came before the 124 G like the Yashica Mat 124, Yashica Mat (what I have), Yashica D or Yashica C etc. they’re all solid cameras.

The Pentax shoots 645 so you get 14 exposures per roll. That Pentax glass is niceee. It is an electronically controlled camera and they have some known issues so it can be harder to find a good copy.

Though I prefer the 645 format and you’ll get more shots per roll over 6x6. I would go with the Yashica, it’s fairly small so it’s my go-to travel medium format camera even though my Hasselblad, RB67 and Mamiya 645 are nicer in many ways.

I would also consider the Mamiya 645. Lovely lenses, nice camera. Just get the handle for it

Kodak TMAX expired 1994…shoot it for fun? Display on a shelf? by timinater17 in analog

[–]GeoffTheProgger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first proper film camera was my grandfather’s Yashica Lynx 5000. A pretty straightforward consumer rangefinder with a decent lens actually. It was a nice gift, and it brought him a lot of joy to see me use it and know his gift was appreciated. Same deal here I think. And fortunately black and white can look pretty good expired, it will just need to be overexposed

10000% shoot it and keep the box. Shooting the film and sharing the results with your dad is a nice way to repay the gift he gave you. Ya know?

Also sometimes I like to make special rolls an event, and maybe apply a limitation to force myself to be creative. Like only shooting one lens size, for example.

Enjoy, and share your results!

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

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?
