Although I'm working full-time in writing/development, we've been shooting a lot of demos for the cable networks and that prompted me to get quite a good sound package which happens to be really suitable for Red One or 5D shoots.

It's based on the Sound Devices 788T with the solid state hard drive option, and it can record 8 iso tracks as well as four mixed tracks, or just about any combination anyone would want. Feeding it are 5 to 7 wireless systems (depending on whether you want wireless hops to the camera) and a 416 boom mic with wind blimp, also a nice Petrol bag with a seriously comfortable Portabrace memory foam harness. Also have an 816 in a blimp.

Four of the mics are Sanken COS 11's and three are Countryman EMW units. Two of the wireless systems are Lectrosonics and four are Senn G-3's. One is my venerable AT-100 fed by a Countryman. I use two G-3's for hops when I shoot, but since there is wireless timecode sync and a way to genlock the recorder with the camera, you might just as well record everything to the CF card if you wish.

There is much more hardware than the above, such as a soundcart set-up with a JVD 24" 1080P professional monitor and a Mackie. I can generally include myself in the package whether as mixer, boom or third -- or not. This thing is surprisingly easy to operate though, as intuitive as any component might be.

Comes with 3 IDX NP-1 70 watt/hour batteries and a charger, as well as batts and chargers for everything else.

Call or e-mail me, I promise you I will be your most cost effective and easy solution to the issue of getting superb audio for your next shoot, in fact I'll surprise you with my pricing since I have a full time job and am really just looking to amortize this gear, not support the wife and kids.

Oh yeah, I also have an EX-3 with good Cartoni sticks, 4 solar spectrum lights and much more.
