Thoughts on the deity srd mini? Another rf distro? SPD-1?

Hello, working finishing a new bag build. I’ve picked up a couple ucr411a and lectro sr.

  1. I’m looking at a rf distro, what are your recommendations? How’s the srd mini, issues?limitations? Betso octopus better?

  2. I’m thinking about getting a spd-1 over an audioroot, any thoughts? Spd mini instead?, I don’t love the usb-c as the 2nd input?

  3. Powering the srd-mini with spd-1 just hirose in, I assume no issues with this?

  4. For bow tie antennas between the betso and deity?

Thanks, you all are wonderful!

Any suggestions for fixing these SDI Jacks?

Any suggestions for fixing these SDI Jacks? I was thinking about trying to use a set of needle nose pliers on the inside and roll them around to try to straighten it back out. But wanted to see if anybody else had any other suggestions or tools they recommend. Worst case I’ll disassemble and solder.

Used TS-3 Timecode slate or New Deity or Tentacle?

I’m thinking about picking up a time code slate to add to my kit. I have someone that offered me a ts-3 for $550, thoughts? Currently have five tentacle syncs, am I better getting the deity or tentacle slate? Should I add a sync to the back of the TS-3? Just manually jam?

Thanks!

Using a Sound Devices 552 for it’s Preamps

Saw a couple other sound mixers using a Sound Devices 552 for it’s Preamps before another recorder, I’m thinking about doing the same. Does this make sense in 2026 or am I better just getting a Zoom F8n Pro or Sound Devices Mix Pre?

On the 552 are mixers just feeding the direct outs of each channel to the recorder?

Thanks!
