You helped me out so much and I can’t thank you enough for it. I’m graduating on may 29th and I couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank you Mr. Buck. I miss you and wish you the best.

Either way, thank you for checking thinking of me and keeping me updated, and all the best as you step into this next chapter!

I've tried to get this setup for a year, but I have another brand and it just doesn't work for my shure sm7b, it's a background noice surring.

Even at the show this setup reminded me of a chunky cordless drill. On the good brands the battery and gearbox kind of balance each other and give you quite good balance and handling despite the weight. On that vein a 3d printed small cage around the transmitter to create a foot, perhaps modelled on a makita battery, might give you a base/stand for putting the microphone down.

@tombuck

One thing I can’t wrap my head around is how creators do this with typically-mounted mics (the Yeti comes to mind) and I can’t hear ANY handling noise or resonance no matter how much they jostle. Whereas if I try it it’s an absolute cacophony of vibrations and handling noise. Is it just me? Are folks just running noise filters in post?

Excellent video, did you 3d printed your ring that you are wearing on your left hand finger?

Tom, would this transmitter work with the Blue Sona? I'm interested in the wireless capabilities, but didn't know if because the way the Blue Sona is designed, if the transmitter would fit. Thanks in advance!

@tombuck

With the Sona's XLR placement, the transmitter won't directly connect. So what you could do is use a small XLR patch cable and then find a way to attach the transmitter to the side of the mic or its yoke. That actually sounds kind of fun...

I LOVE THIS. For a while now I've been wanting to find a way to use my beloved Super 55 as a handheld mic, and I know you said it doesn't quite work...but I think I'll just run an XLR cable up my sleeve. Pls don't judge me 😅 Edit: I noticed you didn't have the booster on the Super 55. I've only used mine with the RODEcaster Pro II, so I never found out whether or not it needed a booster. Does it just need the transmitter?

Would you consider using the integrated preamp version to avoid the booster? Or would that make the ergonomics awkward with the shorter "handle"?

Someone might have a better solution, but as far as I know, wireless XLR is a bit pricey because it's typically part of a UHF system. This ends up being better in the long run because those systems tend to last forever, but the upfront cost is higher. I think there might be cheaper XLR transmitters, but you might run into issues with reliability/complexity. In this case, as goofy as this idea is, I wanted it to be rock solid reliable.

My FET Head also has trouble securely fitting with everything I’ve tried. Maybe a design flaw?

@tombuck

Really? I've had no issues with patch cables and regular XLR cables, but the transmitter was definitely a no-go.

That's a fun idea, but I'm wondering, doesn't the transmitter have adjustable gain? I know the beltpacks have enough gain to not need an extra booster.

@tombuck

15 күн бұрын

They do, but with the SM7B specifically, there's just SO MUCH gain required that maxing out most transmitters either doesn't hit the mark, or isn't super clean. Plus in this case, the booster becomes part of the handle, so it works out.

I wonder if the SM7dB would work well in this situation? Also, you *do* realize that pretty soon you'll be able to lobby the Pantone folks for a specific color called "Buck Blue". ;)

I guess why you wouldnt want to do this is because of the suuuper strong proximity effect... 1:24 your voice gets extremely phasey when you go off mic even a little bit with it right in front of you. It has great rejection (it's an SM7b so of course it will) but when you're doing interviews with a hand mic, you're not monitoring things like proximity effect or weird roll-offs if your mic drifts off-subject because you're focusing on other things. It's fun though, looks like a power drill lol and this shit is way cooler and more interesting than the wannabe iPhone video influencers doing stupid flips and shit to try and get the attention of a brand lol

All those parts needed look like vapes lol

I never shoulda sold mine /:

Unfortunetely I guess you didnt see my comment in the previous video.... this could/should had been addressed on this video, and you missed it .... I came across a video where the guy uses a Xvive P1 to power the boom mic, and he uses a Rode Go mic to transmit wireless. (kzread.info/dash/bejne/eIB6wa1mdqXgdMo.html) Considering I already have the Rode Go II, the Xvive P1 costs only $50 !!!! (compared to $907 I would spend with the setup you have on this video. (price including lithium battery and charger)). So... my question is.... Sound quality .... will the Shure SLXD3 give a better sound quality than the Rode , since we're technically using the same microphone? In other words, will the transmitter itself reduce the sound quality? I understand the UHF system is more reliable, but price wise .... is it worth to go up $907, instead of $50?

Don't use that sm7b out in the field, its too expensive to break. The md46 and the 58 can take a beating. the 7b can't! Even if it is the spectacular Bojo
