Evan - got recommended your channel (this video specifically) after talking on my own about the contract I was building - thanks for the helpful info, great experience to share and I think you handled it well!

Good setup. I am surprised at how much you were able to clean up the audio.

Dude this is great content and valuable for a lot of people.

It's a tricky situation, Evan, but I think you handled it well and the client will be using you again.

Good story and excellent advice.

Good stuff! You brought up a very good point, that a decision-maker of some kind needs to be onset at all times.

I like the idea of having a 2nd contact for approvals like this.

Great content as always, thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the info Evan, I appreciate you sharing the mistakes so we can learn from them. Updating my contract.

Great info thank you.

Does it sync to Blackmagic Cam on iPhone like tentacle sync products do?

W. lav pro sounds great.

What hardware revision you got? Hardware version 1.0 is very noisy That’s why they delayed the product over and over so they resolve the noise issue. You can find the hardware version in the menu Thank you

Lavs sound great, for locs like this I'd bring in some moving blankets (Floor/glass door side/behind camera). Nice work.

Nice test. I've used a plug in called "Clear" and it's amazing. Might be useful might not but thought I'd mention as I use the same mics and Zoom F3.

Do you charge extra to conduct the interview yourself, and what do you typically charge for this type of interview?

Hi! A new follower here, bests regards from a Venezuelan in Panama!

im predicting the battery is a airtag holder! i need one asap !

Excuse my newbieness, but I don't get the point of this device, I mean, the lower tier DJI mic etc records to pocket AND to the camera audio track simultaneously. I realise the PR-2 is a more pro device but why not add a receiver on the camera so you don't have to sync? or am I missing something?

Nice rig I shoot on an A7SII, FS5II with shogun recorders, so far they meet all of my needs and I haven't had the need to upgrade For my camera I cut and soldered my DC cables to length to avoid having a bunch of extra cable Do you get any audio issues with your shotgun not being in a shock mount?

Thanks again. Love your BTS.

Nice test, question did you record in stereo or 32bit on the PR-2. And what was your input volume setting set to on the PR2

Thanks for sharing your rigs of choice. I, too, have the 6K Pros and suck at trying to figure out a good rig for them.

I also totally agree with your comments at the end. A camera is a tool to do a job. Its too easy to get carried away with all the marketing hype these days. I always ask myself, what problem will any new bit of kit solve, and more importantly, how will it help you to make you more money. Keep the great content coming :)

Great reg tour :) I have a monitor for the same reason, to save your neck!

Great job. I wasn't going to watch this initially because I thought it was going to be just another rig breakdown but I'm glad I watched. I got up during the video to reposition my v mount to the side. Brilliant!

Nice test!

Hey, i just found your channel. Subbed! Love your vlogging style storytelling. Keep up the good work!

Looks great... Good clean image.

That AC is pretty horrible. Having no other options you did pretty good reducing it. Definitely keep pushing for a different location. Good video

does it keep the timecode after 12h when you jam sync with camera? if I turn it off in between it will be at timecode all zero after 12h

The NTG2 is a terrible mic

You might have tried hanging a gopro from that light fixture shooting at 4k to give you an overhead shot that would allow you to punch in to the actual worksheets? Great BTS by the way, really enjoying your channel.

Thanks Evan for posting results of your PR-2 recording (why I'm here). A few technical suggestions which might help you with this tricky location. 1- Interiors don't need the full outdoor wind basket/aerostat with furry (this is taking away top end frequencies and pushing your boom further away from source (unless you're painting it out of the frame*), you may even get away without the foam as the mic is static and the air movement around the mic minimal, caveat being plosives. Bringing the mic closer will increase the signal to noise ratio thereby allowing you to reduce the gain on the mic. btw with interiors it tends to be less the environmental BG noise picked by the boom and more the way a voice is resonating in the environment that gives the boom mic a more 'Placed' sound to the speaker than a lav and why well mixed wide will often mix them both when possible. Its also 1 of the reasons why a Cardioid or Hyper-cardioid boom mic is often preferred for interiors over a more directional shotgun mic whos narrower polar pattern is less forgiving of off-axis movement and can exaggerate the reflected sound in a distracting way. 2- Likewise, get the Lav a bit closer to the mouth and reduce the gain accordingly, most lavs have omni directional polar patterns so for a given distance they DO NOT as such isolate more than a direction (boom) mic. The advantage of a lav is that they can be placed in frame and therefore closer to the source and thereby increasing the signal to noise ratio. They usually have a narrower frequency response as well so this is filtering low end and why "the boom sounds fuller". 3- Using a baffle of some kind for the AC wont remove the noise but in combination with the above you'll be able to use less noise reduction in post. Perhaps the contractor who services the office AC may be 'interested' in trying to reduce some of the amplitude and bandwidth of the noise - Noise is a significant aspect of an AC system. * painting out a boom mic is quite easy to do on a locked off shot, its also standard practice on a green screen, with all the obvious advantages.

It sounds like the boom mic is over processed? I could be wrong but I think I hear some artifacting in the sound clips of the boom mic. Loved seeing the BTS great video keep it up

Thanks Even for the tip of how to rent your equipment to your customers!

Thanks Even for this INFORMATIVE video by bringing the Hollyland Mars 400S Pro transmitter & receiver to my attention. I didn't know them before. One question please, have you ever experienced a situation where the Mars 400S Pro do not work properly because of the signal interference like when in a crowd where many people have cell phones.

Thank Evan for this INFORMATIVE video. One question about the Easyrig, please. Have you ever uses Easyrig Stabil Light or Stabil G3? If so, do they work well enough that you don't need a Gimbal any more?

Wow! Thanks Evan for this UNIQUE video. As of today, August 6, 2024, out of all the Deity PR 2 videos I've watched, yours is the ONLY one that compares the audio quality of a Deity lavalier with a boom microphone in a real situation with a noisy air conditioner in the background. It convinces me the Deity PR 2 & lavalier are the best solutions for me. One question, please. Have you ever used a V mount battery to power the Nanlite 300w? If so, what is the brand and model that you use. I haven't bought any 300 light yet because I can't find a reliable & long lasting v mount battery that is powerful enough for a 300w light. Thanks again.

Really good stuff! I personally have the RODE wireless Pro, but I still haven’t used timecode on it yet. And I literally was thinking just the other day that I need to start utilizing it. We still have that old program called plural eyes, which is now discontinued.

I recently got the Theos Wireless system and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the W.Lav Pro. I had expected to replace the Lavs immediately but will probably run with these for a while. Nice open and natural sound. Great video, keep it up

Pencil condenser boom mic is a better option. Oktava has a very good one.

I’m not in the market for lavs but enjoyed seeing your approach and setup. Seems like a good purchase and sounds great!

I say yes to the Lav and the PR-2. I thought the boom mic had too much warble to it. On top of the air conditioner, that was a pretty live room. My brain keeps telling me that the PR-2s are a good buy, espescially since I already have three X Deity TC-1 units. Just I already have some DR-10Ls and probably can only get $80 for them if I try to sell them :( Also, forgot to ask what cart you are using. It looks stock, right?

Thanks for sharing! The results sound good, and you did great eliminating the background noise without voices sounding too robotic. The PR-2 has impressive results! What really excites me about it is timecode. I got tired of trying to do an auto-waveform sync and praying that it works so I don't have to spend hours manually syncing. And the lav sounds really good!

Love your settup. Very similar to what I would do! Thanks for creating content around the PR2. Looking forward to investing in deity time code system!

Just got mine. I really like it. I was using a Rode wireless go kit, and this has really helped me up my game if I'm using lavs. Great video, thanks.

Are you using Hollyland Mars M1 monitor? If yes, did you calibrate it? Mine is showing a lot warmer image than the camera screen/EVF and it's also very slow to turn on, need to wait for a few seconds for picture to appear every single time I stop recording or go into the camera menu.

Nice BTS, Evan. So did you just lav up the adult talent? Didn't see a lav on them so either you did a good job of hiding it. Also, I don't know how other states deal with this, but here in California, there is not only a right to privacy law, but a right to PUBLICITY law, meaning you can't use an IDENTIFIABLE person's image / likeness without them(or their parents) giving approval beforehand. There are exceptions (like for news or political speech, or at sports stadiums), but it gets to be a bummer when a client says something like, "Can you get a shot of attractive people shopping out our store?" Anyway, I know you don't live in California, but I wonder how you deal with 1) shooting in public places where people might get upset that they are being filmed, and 2) Conveying to clients general privacy issues. Thanks in advance.

Good video. I like the concept of the PR-2 but I have so many audio things I need to upgrade, and I already have a couple of Tascam DR-10L units, not sure if these are a priority or not.
