Did you order the mounts to go along with it? Or are you planning to use a different solution? Thinking about picking up a pair of these also.

I didn’t order the mounts and wanted to explore options first, but I kinda wish I did order them. I believe the front Rycote lyre on the official Lom mount is a custom size for the Uši at about 13mm.
The next closest available Rycotes are for mics 19-25mm - 62/72 shore - which I’m sure could work fine with a bit of modification, and plus I would be able to use other mics at those diameters in the future. With the Lom mount I suppose I could potentially swap out the lyres for larger sizes too.

If anyone has suggestions or experience using a a standard 62/72 shore with these mics that would be helpful. I believe the INV 1 at 9.5mm would be too small in diameter to hold the mic?

Thanks for the input, I think I’ll just get them when I place my order, then. Let us know how it works out for you if you take the 19-25mm route though, some cross compatibility would be nice also.

…this is City recording, rather. I needed a recording of heavy traffic, a constant flow of vehicles in midcity. As always i took my stealthiest equipment and was selectively listening on a few spots. My experience in the city has been quite a ride and i‘ve learned to not wear headphones in dense places like buses and the like, but not today. I got apprehended by two cops…‘why are you filming this bank?‘ ‚what are you using this for?‘ they wanted to bodysearch me, which i refused😆 we had a rather unpleasant discussion on gathering data in public and then they wished me a pleasant day…

Well, you’re lucky, in New York there is no refusal of a search. You can tell them you don’t consent, but you’d better comply anyway. I’ve been stop and frisked by two rather burly undercovers while out photographing one night. Not a pleasant experience.
I was in the middle of loading film and they were convinced that they saw me wielding a knife. I guess a 35mm film leader glinting in the street light?

Its definitely not NYC here😃
They went outside for a smokebreak and were just trying to intimidate me and i told them off. But their basing the discussion on gathering data made me cringe inside. I realised that not before long we would probably need permits to record public places. As long as it looks like you‘re carrying pro-equipment. I know LA is very restrictive with filming in public-does anybody have info on recording audio?

And your story would have not been different if you did have a permit. And also ppl could actually sue a person filming/recording them.

Just wondering did your Uši Pros arrive the rubber coating around the outside? I picked up a couple a few months ago and they didn’t have any cover like that, looks as though it would protect them from being knocked against stuff a little.

They arrived naked like yours, I just used some heat shrink wrap to protect the connections :wink:

Recently got a field recorder. Any advice is apreciated. I went for this version instead of the Older model due to the chance of adding mics.

Fleurieu & Kangaroo Island sound map updates:

I finally got around to adding some Kangaroo Island recordings from October 2019 (pre-bushfires). A couple more to come - hopefully next month when I have the time. I’m going to aim to compile some video documentation from the trip as well which I’ll include as a video blog on the site.

I really wish I’d done more field recording when I was there. :frowning_face:

On the upside, I’ll hopefully be involved in a couple of projects commencing this year exploring regeneration on the island - incorporating community engagement, live streaming of sites and research collaborating.

I’m getting one of MichaelKrzyzaniak Marshmallow contact mic for a project. Will borrow a Sony PCM-D100 from a friend. The Marshmallow is mono and D100 records in stereo. So I wonder if there’s a converter/cable that can send mono signal to both channels of the D100? Or do I just record and delete the empty channel when editing?

#1004

if a recorder takes external inputs you can bet there is a way to change the recording settings in some sort of menu. to keep from taking up space on the memory card of a blank track just set the input to external - mono - whichever channel you are plugged into (mine you can set to mono L or mono R).

I love mine. Quite the upgrade from the Tascam 100, 44 and 22 I’ve been using. Brought mine to Germany and Belgium in November. Used it with Uši Pros and Elektrouši as well as the built in mics. Really impressed with the sound floor compared to the others.

This clip was recorded by BP4025 and Mixpre-6.
I mount the mic on top of the Mixpre, and a Joby pod on bottom as a stand and handle for carrying around.

Yeah that’s it. I bought it in their black Friday sale for €10, but very expensive otherwise… print on demand I believe.
