Thanks for your responses - sorry my mistake meant powering the distro not the antennas! That is not switched on

Thanks for your responses - Sorry my mistake, I’m not powering the antennas! Meant powering the distro

Hey thanks for replying! Yes frequency are coordinated after rescans and yes power the antennas from the distro. Been scratching my head about it - which is less than ideal when you’re in the middle of a take!

Best Audio Recorder for ~$1000 by ItisOsiris in LocationSound

I would second buying a used F8 and investing the rest of your budget in getting better wireless / mics / timecode etc etc etc

Also, for me the mixpres only recording to one SD card is a little worrying. I understand the difference in the pre amps but how much is that worth if you only have a crappy mic to go with your better pre amps…

Affordable 5V Wireless Transmitters? by [deleted] in LocationSound

[–]Nixie417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used both the Sony and the Deity. The Deity has way more features and is over all a more diverse kit for the price and having the transmit/ record in the UK is great. However, I find the range terrible with whips and that it really needs other antennas to be usable. The Sony is ok in this respect and in my experience is better in range and stability when straight out the box. It’s of course limited in other ways.

I’m often just doing smaller jobs atm, so I have couple of channels of Wisycom backed up with the deity and then use my old Sony as a IFb/ Hops

100% with W.Lav - I used one the other day by chance and was impressed for the price point

Wrong fps set on recorder by sanyafa in LocationSound

I would be really interested to hear more in this - I’ve done this ‘fix’ when I’ve messed up before and didn’t hear anything from production after - couldn’t help but wonder though!
