Hey guys,

I run a small video production company, and we're looking to upgrade our wireless mic set.

Currently we have a Sony FS7, soon to be upgraded to a Sony FX5. Maybe also the next Sony FX6 Mk2 camera if/when it's announced. The mic pack usually to into the camera rather than via dedicated field mixer.

Anyway, we currently have 1 x Sony D11, but wanted to get a second mic pack. Currently, our setup is mainly for corporate and sometimes events. We do a lot of interviews, mostly 1 person, but sometimes two people.

I've recently received a sizeable grant, so was considering just upgrading to 2 x Sony D21 and selling the old D11. I'm not worried about having two receivers as I'll just modify the camera cage to carry two receivers and input via XLR.

There are a few options available at the moment – Deity Theos, Sony D21, and Sennheiser EW-DP.

I was originally leaning towards the THEOS, but I've seen some concerns over the build quality and customer service. Sony is a solid choice, but I've also heard a lot of support for Sennheiser for obvious reasons.

I can't see any real comparisons between them, so wondered what your thoughts were.

Advice would be super appreciated.

Hey guys,

I'm in the market to purchase a 3D scanner. I've been doing a lot of CAD recently, and looking to take the next step.

I've seen lots of posts about it over the past couple of years, but it's quite overwhelming dealing with the various brands, and models that exist in the market at the moment.

Firstly, the premise of the purchase is to scan relatively complex geometries that my calipers won't be great at – things like unusual shapes, or replacement parts for both small and medium sizes (e.g. cavity hole with a few copper pipes that could do with a plastic insert rather than plastering).

I've had a look online, and Creality seems to resonate with me (though feedback is mixed?), but I know other brands like Revopoint exist. Then you have different price brackets like the Otter or Raptor/Raptor X. I'm usually one for going for the best product on the market because I don't like compromise, but equally I appreciate that I'd rather not spend £1,300 on a 3D scanner that a £600 one can do equally well.

My biggest concern is buying something that I think might do the job, but it then being unfit for purpose, with me being stuck out-of-pocket. Especially as 3D printing is a new endeavour, and don't want to get stung with any obvious pitfalls.

In addition, I'm conscious that certain products on the market have been out for a couple of years, and likely due for a refresh. I don't like the idea of buying something that becomes obsolete in less than a year.

I don't have a budget per se, but willing to pay for what feels right for me.

Any help would be appreciated!

Yo,

I'm looking for a London-based videographer / solo shooter for a shoot in Harrods on Tuesday 14 July. Brief is TBC, but it's a really simple shoot. FX3 will do.

Time is between 8am and 9.30 ish – plan for a half day.

DM me to confirm availability and your rates.
