Dave Young @ PodFilms 0 Report post Posted February 6 I'm flying a C300 on a Scout for national news VT's, using digital radio mics. Currently I set the audio levels using headphones before shooting and check playback afterwards. Can anyone suggest a way of monitoring during shooting without having headphones plugged in to the camera (compromising balance)? Thanks Dave Young Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulius Kontijevas 1 Report post Posted February 7 What about just having your levels up on the monitor? Also, if there are big changes in audio levels you're not going to be able to adjust while you're rolling so maybe just set it to auto? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa Sene 37 Report post Posted March 7 Hi Dave, I'm not a sound person, so I don't know all the pieces involved, though I would explore how to wirelessly send a signal to a pack you could wear, then use a single-ear earpiece (so you can still hear what's around you - I use this one) to monitor. In the narrative world, Comteks are used often for the same purpose - I use them to hear dialog if the actors are physically too far away to hear and I need to move on a line. Not sure what you'd need to get from point A to point B gear-wise, though I'd try that. As Paulius mentioned, you likely won't be able to change levels (unless it's a live-switched show and you do it while your tally isn't on), though you'll at least know if something is wrong. Happy flying! Lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
