Topic: my first hour with the 722 (with pics)

[scb]

the fanny pack i currently have isn't wide enough to hold the 722 with the 4022 xlrs connected.  if i got 2 right angle adapters (or very very short right angle cables) i might be able to fit it in since the 4022 xlrs wouldn't be sticking out an extra 2 inches on the left side

an alternative approach is to use one of these

have used one for several years with a v3 (and before that a v2).  the v3 works very nicely on end in an interior pocket.  the 722 would work even better since the mic connectors are on the end of the unit.

you've been telling me that for a while now.  maybe it's about time i started listening  to you

I understand the break-out cables theory, and was going that direction. I leave my v3 hooked up with a similar set.
 
What I was asking is if the xlr's on your new deck are too close together to mount a pair of right angle xlr's. You had earlier hinted that they might be too close together.
I was going to suggest an epoxy / hot glue job to the inside of the right angle xlr on the cable, and grinding off the screw mount tabs/ears to get them closer together.

i don't have any right angles here so i don't know.  are they really wider than standard xlrs?

how would one check levels in the vest?

if stealth, either you don't check levels (eg if security is 3 feet away!) or if you do, you lift the unit up to check.  if stealth, i adjust levels during the show very, very rarely.

and at 24 bit you can run them conservatively and still get good resolution...

I ran mine tonight.  If anyone wants 24/96 samples, I can ftp them or do a B&P.

Excellent. Although you don't have timecode with the 722. How you going to sync up?

Planned to run tape out to his camera to have a guide, then use that to align the audio in FCP.

I've done that and it works. But I urge you to get a slate and have someone call out the different scene and take numbers. Especially if the movie will be cut using the guide audio. Otherwise it becomes a roayl PITA to find the right take with 8 almost exactly similar waveforms (if the actors are consistent). Tell the editor to make notes of which take that was selected.
Just a heads up.

i attached the new drive and spent about 10 min trying to put it back together

Scott, what drive did you put in?

[scb]

a hitachi 80 gig 5400rpm travelstar 5k100.

Dare I ask what one of these 722's run price wise? 

Do people NOT read threads anymore? Go back and skim through this thread, it's mentioned.
