Re: Lectrosonics transmitter/receiver
 

Sorry Zaxcom does things so differently from other manufacturers and Rick is correct its more of a camera link as it doesn't seem to receive from two separate tx like you need but rather just the camera link two channel audio. Could be wrong on that but according to the info on Zaxcom's site that's what's described. So the QRX 200 is what you're looking for. But it doesn't have internal power.
If I were you I'd go to Gotham Sound and have a chat about what you're looking to do and get powering and gear recommendations from them.

Re: Lectrosonics transmitter/receiver
 

Yes, I talked to Gotham Sound and they did tell me what I needed. All good on that. I just need to look at pros and cons of having a separate recorder ve recording straight into the camera. The quality is obvious but I need to think of logistics.

Re: Lectrosonics transmitter/receiver
 

For a one man band shooting, ditch the mixpre, and go straight into your C100.

COS-11D is already very good, I wouldn't get a DPA as well. (although having said that.... I own six DPA 4061! But I'm a specialist soundie)

If I was you, I'd consider a Lectrosonics SRc (with NP-F plate) + 2x LT

Re: Lectrosonics transmitter/receiver
 

Thanks David, any reason, other than having extra gear, you would advise me not to get mixpre? And why the Lectros and not the Zaxcom?

Re: Lectrosonics transmitter/receiver
 

I have the L-Series wireless and like it a lot.

Shoot me an email to davef@dvestore.com and I can help you get dialed in.

Re: Lectrosonics transmitter/receiver
 

Thanks Dave. I decided to hold off on the wireless set for now.

Re: Lectrosonics transmitter/receiver
 

Because when you're a one man band doing directing/camera/sound/lighting all at once, you really need to keep it very simple and fast!

And honestly both Lectrosonics and Zaxcom is very good, although I already own a lot of Lectrosonics gear thus would have compatibility when I go with the SR series.

Re: Lectrosonics transmitter/receiver
 

The Lectrosonics SMM doesn't have the same battery life as their other larger products, also it doesn't use the commonly available AA batteries. So you have some trade offs in exchange for its strength of having extremely small size! Teeny. I want one!

The downsides to the Lectro LR is it is rather unfriendly in bag use compared to use a SRc, so a SRc would *always* be my preference but it depends on how you'll be using it.

Other wideband Lectrosonics transmitters worth considering:

SMDWB (basically the wideband version of their very popular SMQV)

SMWB (the single battery version of the SMDWB, the SMDWB has dual AA batteries and thus the "D" in the name for "Dual")

LT (the low budget companion to the low budget LR receiver, as you can guess "R" = "Reciever" and "T" = "Transmitter", the LT/LR commonly get sold as a pair together)

LMb (the even lower budget version of the LT! You lose the app control over the transmitter which the LT and higher end ones have, and you lose the user replaceable antenna, but otherwise it is fairly similar. And LMb is the one I chose for myself recently due to its low low price)

Other Lectrosonics to consider: welll.... heaps of them! Lectrosonics has been in the business for a long time, so if you're looking for bargains you can find a lot of their older gear at extremely affordable prices on eBay. But they're still top notch wireless gear! I've been buying a lot of my wireless that way.

As for what wireless brands are there outside Lectrosonics which are top notch quality? Again, lots of choices:

Zaxcom, Audio Ltd, Wisycom, etc

I'd say the weakest link by far is having the cameraman doing audio! Rather than someone dedicated to the role.
