Is anyone using the MX-Hirose sled? Looks pretty solid. Expensive though. Is there a battery with a more solid connection than a USB on the battery side that could be used with this sled? It would be nice to have solid connections on both ends of the power supply. https://www.sounddevices.com/product/mx-hirose/
Thanks guys. Right now I'm using one of the approved Ankers and a right angle usb-c cable (both ends). I run the mixpre end thru the front handle which helps quite a bit with stability and on the battery end I use a piece of gaffers tape. It works but always looking for a better solution. Not sure I want to spend $350, but it's what I'm looking for.
^ I do the same, but use the 8 AA sled to backup the USB battery. With Eneloop Pros, I can get five or six hours from the AAs. I have actually run only the 8 AA sled for a bunch of shows, but I like the redundancy the USB provides.
I have the 4x Sled and only get about 35 minutes off a battery load if I forget to power up my USB pack! D'oh!
Curiouser and curiouser.Using 4 year-old Eneloop pros, mp6 w 2 schoeps on pfas and 2 vanguard v1s, my most recent tests in April returned:4AA sled 2:03 of operation8AA sled 4:35 of operationWhy are we seeing such a great difference?
