Just saw this posted on Newsshooter, great stuff, as who wouldn't want their boom to be even lighter? The new Deity S Mic3 and S Mic3S are out. All the goodness of the S Mic 2 but now even lighter. (by a lot! The S Mic3 is less than half the weight of a NTG3 or 416, the S Mic 3S is nearly half...

Am a Sound Mixer who is going to be working with a Komodo soon on a short film, would be handy to know exactly what input connectors and capabilities Komodo has for audio and timecode? Can't seem to see it listed anywhere on RED.com

One of my favorite Youtube channels did an overview review of the Deity products:

The large size (15.6"), high resolution (it is actually UHD! Not like these other "4K monitors" which merely mean it can take a 4K input, but are only a 1080 screen in reality), low-ish weight & power demands (2Kg & ≤18W), and various features (SDI / quadview / PIP / etc) all make it quite...

Two new pro sound recorders announced: Zaxcom Nova ($5K)& Sound Devices Scorpio ($9K) https://www.sounddevices.com/scorpio/ You can use it with the Icon Control Surface. https://www.gothamsound.com/product/scorpio-recorder-kit-control-surface-pre-order-deposit And now for the Zaxcom...

I hope in the future as the VFX tools we have at hand get better and as crew awareness increases then we'll be able to happily have booms in shot much more often for the sake of improved sound. This is already common place on many shoots such as "House of Cards", and advancing VFX technology...

Fantastic news! This certainly is making a secondhand Sony FS700 even more tempting with this very compact external recorder. I just wish this new AtomX SDI also included the functionality of the AtomX Sync as well, to give the FS700 timecode...

Jump to the point 1:40 into the video:

Surprise surprise, the Nikon Z6 is still a better and cheaper camera for us filmmakers than the newly announced Canon EOS R! Sure, it gained 10bit output and log (just like the Nikon Z6), but it basically is still a Canon 5Dmk4 (which means an awful crop, so why bother buying a FF camera in...

Started a new thread for this, as it is an area (timecode!) in which the sound department overlaps with the camera department thus it might interest the camera geeks here as well. Because I got to try out the NanoLockit for the first time, was impressed with its feature in how it can autodetect...

Just finished my a weekend of shooting with the Liliput A5 for the first time, and I really liked it! Was a nice screen (in fact the B cam would often be using it for himself! Rather than for its purpose: to be pointed at me, so I could keep an eye on the B Cam shots), seemed to be battery...

By a bit of a coincidence this was EXACTLY the same Scarlet Weapon as from my previous upload to my YT channel, as by chance it was the same DoP on this video. And this time around the Scarlet-W was silent (wasn't last time! Arrrgh), yay, great! I strongly suspect the reason for the difference...

A Zoom rep is here in this video talking about the Zoom F8n, a "sneak peak": The recorder is still a few months away ("July"), and details are not yet concrete (price is looking to be twelve hundred dollars).* But some specs we can expect: Updated GUI Selectable line/mic input New battery...

Are you thinking about getting another wireless? Then boy do I have a deal for you! These (which are in my view *the best* low budget wireless! Is why I own FIVE sets of them) are having a cracking good sale deal on right now (limited time flash sale at B&H)...

Quite excited to give this a spin, once the new gel pads arrive. They share the same drivers as in my Sony MDR-7506 headphones, thus the listening experience should be the same but with a 45dB reduction on any external sounds leaking in! This would have been especially useful last weekend when...

Of course got to release the BTS to their marketing video, showing the Fujfilm X-H1 rigged up to the max (ohhhh.... I spot a Roland R88! A moment of silence for his back please):

Never seen this product before, as it is a brand brand new product that isn't shipping yet. But as a Marantz it should be worth checking out. Has a low low price of US$399 2.4 GHz Digital Transmitter (like RodeLink, no need to worry about what frequencies are legal) All info on the top...
