  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Beachtek DXA-RED

Beachtek DXA RED

Beachtek DXA RED

I don't recommend getting the Beachtek DXA RED unit. Before it even arrived I had messages from CVP telling me to watch out for the product as it has issues that can harm your camera. I then got the same message from Beachtek. The product took weeks to arrive from Hong Kong, even though I ordered it direct from Beachtek. Then my RED had internal issues, which I wouldn't be surprised if it were due to the DXA unit.

Its any easy fix actually. The temporary fix is to simply remove this insert by unscrewing it from the top. See attached picture. This removes any possible short and the unit can now be safely used. Note, that the unit does not have to be disassembled. They are working on a permanent fix by replacing this insert with a shorter version. This will be sent to you as soon as it is available.

Hows does is it compared to the Beachtek DXA-MICRO-PRO? Haven't had any issues with it yet and power it through the USB. For paying clients I always have a producer hire a sound recordist. I only rely on this for some quick interviews, documentary, or no budget project.
