    thank you for sharing.. Valuable info in the video. I love the mic comparison. I have a question and a couple of remarks. Question: What's the battery life on the Xvive P1? Remark 1: I would recommend using a 3.5 locking connector on the cable to have that extra security on the cable Remark 2: to me it looks just a bit too bulky. since you are using such high end mics, why not use Zaxcom ZMT4? It can can transmit and record simultaneously in the USA. Now deity are offering such devices such as DXTX & DLTX

    Battery life is nuts - I’ve run 4 hour interviews and been down only 1 light. I do tape up the power switch because I worry it might get switched on in transport. Thanks for the tip on the Zaxcom, will check it out but I’m still very happy with this setup.

    Great review. However the best thing about your video is the scripture at the end. Funny thing, I started watching the video because I've always been interested in a slider for my professional work but the first thing that hit me was the thought, "this man knows the Lord". Something about how you carry yourself shines through. Strange how the Lord can help us identify one another even when we're not trying. Keep up the good work!

    I don't know what's going on with that phantom power unit....but it is wrecking the sound quality of the 8050. If my 8050 sounded that bad I would have sent it to be checked. Have you tried & compared the difference with the zoom recorder. I would recommend the UMP III by Ambient. its a built for adding 48/12v to mics and is sonically transparent. Great video mate. As it stands the 416 wipes the floor with the 8050, But I know thats not the case as I have both those mics and they are both awesome in their on way. I would seriously take a look at that phantom unit.

    it’s such a personal choice on how much slide or what shots you want. It can definitely do the job, but I would suggest the s60 for more options and more parallax for push-ins.

    With a normal mirrorless camera (nothing too heavy) would I be able to have a regal travel tripod for the S60 or would I need a more heavy duty tripod so it's stable?

  • @dqstudios
    @dqstudiosАй бұрын

    I don’t know that particular tripod, but the s60’s length + weight + camera weight adds up quickly. A solid set of sticks is definitely needed for the best slides and less frustration on set.

    Sounds very interesting. Thank you for the review! May I ask you, isn't the loop function disturbing when using the Accsoon for Interview scenes? I mean the loop function works but it stops way too much - so it's only usable footage when panning from one side to the other side, right? Is it the same effect when using the edelkrone slider or is there more usability of footage when panning?

  • @dqstudios
    @dqstudios3 ай бұрын

    it’s the same on all my sliders: usable section is really in the middle, but it totally works because I don’t set it to the fastest speed when shooting interviews. I typically have it around half speed and on the longer lens and it works great.
