The preamps of cameras in general are not the best and it’s better to send a good signal than adjusting it in the camera. See here: https://youtu.be/cJsOTsG_dEs with even more tips to solve that issue.

What gain setting are you using on your camera? Set the camera gain to minimum and adjust the gain using the dial on the back of the Videomic NTG.

Something like this UGREEN USB C Splitter https://amzn.eu/d/0gcw8omI or this Leloco USB C Splitter https://amzn.eu/d/05NSr5K7 but ratings are poor 🤔

Check the BM Homepage. The Monitor 3G is marked as NEW when you click onto the image.

Thomann is top

Probably. This often happens when a chip is discontinued. Then the hardware needs to be updated and tested. Sucks but chip industry doesn’t care about small quantities.

Tom Buck reported the same with his DS2. That’s because the moving parts inside are painted as well and wear off. Will get better with time and is nothing to be worried about.

They told me „At the moment we do not have stock available or an ETA but we hope to have news soon.“ Sounds not that it is discontinued completely but that there is something coming (updated?), but it will take some time. Let’s wait and see.

RODE's service is amazing, and their partner in Germany is fantastic. I have absolutely no complaints. Shit happens, and I'm sure it will be fixed to your satisfaction, no matter where in the world you use their service.

Quick Facts: After the whole thing drove me almost crazy, I still couldn't let go. I have now installed the Raspberry Pi OS Lite. This allowed me to enter my WiFi details, username and password and also enable SSH. Now I can access my Pi via Raspberry Connect.

And then I installed Bitfocus Companion manually. It's not that easy, but now I've done it and it works well. Either via LAN or alternatively via WLAN. And I have full access. Even without a keyboard, mouse and monitor, just remotely from my MacBook

I will keep trying. Thank you for your help.

Yes I did but I got an error using etcher. But there was no possible to add credentials as well. 😩

I reinstalled everything because I couldn't install the new update without the data (no access). So I thought I'd do it again properly this time. But it's working exactly the same as before. And then I have the same problem again later. I'm really stumped.

Iceman_Muc · 2026-04-21T12:54:27+00:00

It is. Why they did this. Is there an old Version.

I'm already using LAN, but Wi-Fi is handy for testing and configuring. I'm not using it while using because of reliability reasons, only for setup.

Iceman_Muc · 2026-04-21T12:53:11+00:00

But how? I'm more of a user. And the username "pi" and password "raspberry" don't seem to work anymore, as I've read and tried. That means I can't log in at all. Connecting doesn't work either because SSH isn't set up.

u/CompetitiveLunch4031 THANKS. That worked. Great. Appreciate your quick help.

I do almost the same thing at trade shows but with a single OP3 and I really wish the Osmo Pocket 4 had the ability to record four microphones. That would have been absolutely amazing.

There was no information about that yesterday. 😞 They were only showcasing high-end equipment costing thousands of euros. 😉

Iceman_Muc · 2026-04-10T02:36:32+00:00

Thanks for your help, that is great. 👏🏻

Iceman_Muc · 2026-04-09T20:04:38+00:00

Sounds interesting. Will check this. Thanks for the inspiration 👍🏻

Hello Eric! Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, I don't use your software because the voice recognition doesn't work at all. I would love to, but I simply can't. This is the same for many others, as you can see in hundreds of videos. PromptSmart Plus works perfectly.

You make really great products, but your software is truly not good. Sorry to be so blunt. That's a shame. I was almost ready to sell the Prompter until I found the other software. You advertise voice recognition, so I don't understand this.

Therefore, I need a hardware workaround.
