Review: MiPro ACT-80 ENG Kit
UPDATE: The Act-80 receiver stopped powering on less than 1 year of ownership with only light use. Also the lack of ability to scan for frequencies really made this system hard to use in Los Angeles during the repack. Overall, there is no situation in which it worked better than anything else in my kit. I do not recommend you buying this wireless kit. For … Continue reading Review: MiPro ACT-80 ENG Kit

Review: Ursa Pouches
So Ursa sent us some gear to review and we will first start with the Ursa Pouches. The reason for us to start with these is because they baffled us the most.
