Z1 mic holder mod?
The mic holder on the Z1 is not well insulated from the body so camera handling noise is easily picked up.
I've noticed that a thin rubber gasket seperates the mic holder from the body. Surely some enterprising Z1 owner would like to experiment with a thicker layer of rubber and some rubber washers under the heads of the two mounting screws found inside the holder. Should work to make it more useable. |
LightWave Systems makes an excellent replacement mic holder for the PD150 / 170. I wonder if it will adapt to the Z1, or if they plan on a separate piece for this application. Check it out at http://www.lightwavesystems.com/prod...t/mm_pd150.htm

Already been playing....needed to work on cutting wind noise as well, and cut out a small fuzzy for the cam. Works really well. I'll post pics later this week.
I got some killer-kick ass footage of 4 elk in rut, complete with horn scraping noise, even though I couldn't get closer than 50 yards. |

If you went closer it could have been a real good test for motion artifacts. See Spot. See Spot run! |

Been a few years since I heard that one. When I was younger, I always was offended by friends saying that. When I got older, it took on a strong humor for me. Thanks for the laugh! (Seriously) I was on a fairly high hill, looking down. I didn't want to walk down into the draw, because if I had, it definitely would have scared them off. As it was, they were already paying pretty close attention to me. I see this herd nearly every day in the winter, but they usually don't get quite close enough to the house to shoot, and they're skittish as hell. |

Sigh. I've been to Utah a couple of times. A beautiful place. |
Just been on the phone to CVP. They have designed a new Mic Holder. Not cheap but its a good one and does the job.
