1. I'm on alot of doc-type shoots where the operators will drop into S/Q mode (Canon Slow and Quick) or change shots back and forth repetitively when getting shots to get both realtime and slow motion. This is mostly for B-Roll shot so audio isn't typically the biggest deal, but how does this usually get handled? I assume timecode on my end will be set at the project frame rate. If I put a tenacle on each camera will they sync properly on the 23.98 or 29.99 clips and what happens with the 59.94? In SQ mode they usually get conformed in camera to the 29 or 23 frame rate.

2. I have Tentacle Syncs currently and I think I'm gonna have some projects coming up that are also require a camera hop. I see some ERX2TCD pretty cheap used and IFB200's. Is this a good solution for camera hops? It seems like it would be nice to have both the audio and timecode on the same receiver. I've heard people don't like the range with 2.4ghz

3. Do most people do just mono on camera hops? What cases are you providing stereo? It seems really to make sense with Zaxcom on stereo, because straping on two g3's and a tentacle seems like a mess.

4. (Side question) For wireless boom are you typically sending just the boom back, or boom + talkback, or are you sending 2nd boom and/or wireless lavs or anything else?

Greatful for any insight. Thanks!

Where do the Lectrosonics m150/m152/m119/EMW rank compared to some other lavs?

Any thoughts on Tram TR-50, Countryman B6, PSC MilliMic, Sony ECM, Senn ME102/MKE2/MK104

Does anyone have a rough list of Lavs that are good, and what they uses they excel at?

It seems like most people are using the COS-11d or the DPA Lavs these days. Thanks!

I'm looking to pick up a couple used receivers and I'm looking between these models, SRB vs 411, SRA, SRC, and 401. I'm mostly thinking between the SRB vs 411, I may be able to stretch to get a src, but heard some people think that the 411 are still better than the src. Is there any reasons not to get a sra vs the srb?

On the venue receivers? Would you use one with the vrs modules or only vrt?

Hello all my wonderful people,  

I would like to get a better idea on how some of these compare, I know that this is a very subjective area and none of these are probably bad microphones. I own a few of these and I’m trying to rent a few more of these and figure out how they handle. I understand length and what is recommended for indoor/outdoor, but I’m looking to get a better idea before renting some of these and comparing. I’ve added a few microphones that are probably more on the budget side than Pro, if I missed a model in the Pro space let me know.

1. I’m trying to get a better understanding the microphones actual length and perceived reach compared to each other, especially on the longer end. CS3-e, 4017b, CMIT 5U, 416, 60, 70, 82i, 816?

2. In the cases of Microphone of the same type brand MKH 416, 60 8060, why are older microphones preferred over the newer version of microphone E.G. people prefer the 50 over 8050.

3. What things they do they excel at and what downsides or things they struggle at? E.g. RF Noise, Humidity, Off Axis Sound.

Curious if anyone is using Dante on location or on a cart? What’s your setup like?

Hello,

Does anyone know the state of the Deity Theos system when importing?

1. If I buy an imported dbtx and d2rx can I then transmit and record on the dbtx? If I set my region to us in the sidus audio app does that functionality go away?

2. If I get a dxtx or dltx can I transmit and record at the same time? Same question on setting region.

3. Is there a a reason to get a dltx over the dxtx for a wireless boom pole?

4. Anything else I should know?

Thanks!

Hello, what Used Wireless equipment, Wisy, Lectro, Zaxcom, or other pro wireless models are still decent enough to use in 2026?

Trying to figure out what models I should be looking for on the used market. Lectro UCR 100/400? SMQ/HMM/SR? Zaxcom QRX200/TRX? WisyCom MCR 42s/MTP40S? Sony UWP/UTX

Where do I draw the line and get a new Shure SLXD system or other?

Hello All, I just picked up a used MKH50. Looking for suggestions on accessories for it? I have a Rycote InVision INV-HG but the MKH 50 doesn't fit well in it.

Are most people just using a foam nose on it indoors?

I know some people are using it outdoors as well, what are you using for wind protection on it? I've head the Rycote BBG isn't great because there is noise on the back as well.

Also, if anyone has a recommendation for Sony MDR-7506 replacement pads that don't leave your ears covered in black fo leather. I'm all ears on that as well.

Thanks!
