Review: Point Source Audio Lavalier Ear Mount
I have been using the Point Source Audio lavs for about 2 months now and have been very happy with them. The CO-8WL lavs themselves are super tiny, 4mm. They are the same size as the Sanken Cos-11D but a lot shorter. Point Source Audio microphones dominate Broadway (50 are currently being used on the musical Hamilton) but now they are signing up TV audio dealers … Continue reading Review: Point Source Audio Lavalier Ear Mount

Zoom F4 Shortcuts
I find it odd that there isn’t more said about the shortcuts available for the Zoom F4 and F8. They can really speed things up when you are on a gig. Unfortunately, without the use of the f control, the F4 cannot use a usb keyboard but these shortcuts make it so that for many of the necessary functions needed on a film shoot, you can … Continue reading Zoom F4 Shortcuts

Last month I wrapped production on a feature film and while it was only a 16 days shoot we went through nearly 200 batteries. It honestly felt very sinful to be that wasteful. Now we did recycle every battery used on the production but still… that’s a big chunk of budget to spend on an expendable… And those my saga began, with the search for … Continue reading Review: EBL 9V Rechargable Li-Ion Battery
Review: Mozegear QbitXL
MozeGear has now upped the battery size of their Qbit. So what’s different in the XL model? They have redone the case to be bigger. It now features a 1/4 size hole for mounting the unit to a cameras cheese plate instead of just using velcro. This is a huge ergonomic boost to the Mozegear product lineup that we can hope to see more of … Continue reading Review: Mozegear QbitXL
Review: Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset
Sennheiser is a name synonymous with high quality audio equipment. They have announced a new product called the Ambeo Smart headset that allows you to record high quality binaural audio onto an iPhone. Typically, I dismiss anything that says “high quality” and “iPhone” in the same sentence as we all know smart phones are not known for recording high quality audio. However, in this case, … Continue reading Review: Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset
