I think my solution is going to be this to start:
dpa4061 > DAD6001 (microdot > xlr connector made by dpa) > v3 > jb3
i'll just need to get a fanny pack or something simliar to try to hide the pre/battery/nomad.
as far as pat downs, if it comes down to it, i can crotch the v3, put the jb3 in my pocket and have someone else
carry my battery. I think it's going to work out. Now if i can find a way to fly mics in a discreet fashion
so that I don't have to stand still for 3 hours
i think for really crowded stuff, the mono pod idea is a good one. You could mount the mics on top
and just hold it still. I'm looking into this.
thanks for the info fellas.
T's all around!
