another question....

is this how everyone has the stuff its okay to have all the cables still bundle and just kinda in the bottom of the bag

kinda just run the actives into the back

here are some pictures.... opions on if there is anything I might change.... I know I need to tape the actives to the stand but other than that

hit the phantom power button.  but you won't need to do that if you're running a sbd feed into the front xlr jacks.

put the mic bodies kinda still sitting on the wooden box that came with the mics and the wires and UA-5 battery are kinda on the other side

[spearheadtaper]

then jb3 and UA-5 kinda just float on the top...should I bring a towel or something for them to sit on ??

[philR]

might not be a bad idea.  just talk to hines and i'm sure he'd let you put yout stuff out of the way.  have a good time.

not to be that guy... but with that kind of money tired up in gear, why is TAPING actives to the stand the solution popping into you head? 
buy a mount... sure its another $50 (give or take the direction you go) but damn boy, have a little pride... if nothing else, it will be easier for you to duplicate set ups so you can hone the sound.

oh I have a kwon bar din setup into a a20 ...... just talking about taping the actually wire to the stand like for incase they come off the kwan bar it would help them not hit the floor

You can get a pack of 100 velcro ties at Home Depot for like $8.

Reusable, no sticky residue, and extrermely convienent. I keep my actives wound together with them, then when I fly the stand I use 'em to secure the cables.

That's exactly what I do with my cables as well.  Never saw anyone do it either... just seemed like the natural thing to do.

I usually wrap the cable once or twice around the mount as well.  Not tight or anything, but I think that'dhelp with tension on the cable and if they did fall from the mount, they won't be falling far.
