Re: Large Hard Drives

I've had nothing but pain and suffering with Seagate drives. You really shouldn't consider anything but 7200rpm drives for video.

Another bit of advice that I recently learned is that you want to...

Re: Advice for scratchy voiced moderator.

Thanks for the help guys!

Yes there is video that goes along with the audio. I just uploaded the audio to save time an space. I'm leaning toward just leaving this alone. And add this to my...

Re: Advice for scratchy voiced moderator.

Interesting, but the mod we used is around 70 years old. She is a member of faculty at a college so we were not working with a pro, though she did well with a lot of direction.

The video series is...

Advice for scratchy voiced moderator.

Hi all.

I recorded a female moderator for a health series. If this helps, the audio was recorded using a A-T 899 Lav, a Sound Devices 633, WAV Poly.

The sound is pretty good to my ears, but the...

Re: D810 Manual Iris

Ian,

Not sure what "power aperture" you are referring to.

I can tell you this: If the d810 is like my old d800 and new d850 I am sure you can change aperture during recording. I can also tell...

Re: D810 Manual Iris

Ian,

Are you using Live View when recording? On my d850 if I go into Live view and try to adjust the aperature, the camera oddly seemed to auto adjust the image on the monitor even though the...

Hi John.

Could you point me in the direction that theAtomos hdmi recorders can do120fps. Now you got me really curious. I know my tests have been less than scientific. I wonder if we are the only...

Re: 120fps with D850, only 60p Atomos Ninja Flame

Hi John.

I can confirm with my discussion with Nikon (Level 2) that the D850 records to the xqd card @ 120fps, with playback @30p But yes h.264, not sure of bit depth, but guessing 8.

I spoke...

Re: Lapel mic sound different when head is turned

Probably best to plan in advance which way talent will have head turned and stay with that. Or have boom op that can follow head movement.

120fps with D850, only 60p Atomos Ninja Flame

Hi everyone.

I started testing the D850 with one of its 120fps options. Apparently when an external recorder like an Atomos is connected, you only get 60fps. Without and recording to XQD, true...

Re: decent cheap wireless lav system?

I've been wondering: How would authorities actually go about tracking down offenders? It's not like there is some kind of GPS in a wireless mic. Has anyone actually been caught and charged yet?

re: Confusion when ordering Halogen bulbs

Doug,

Donating those lights was really a great thing. Eventually I'll move on to LED, whenever output and price point say go. You must have had some bad experiences with "hot" lights. Personally I...

Re: What level do you use when using headphones?

What level do you use when using headphones?

Greetings.

This may be an odd question, and maybe it is more of a personal choice.

I have a SD 633. I monitor all audio through Sony MDR-7506 HP. The HP volume on the SD goes from OFF to 20dB....
