11Feb Samson Airline Micro wireless UHF system – Full video Review
It’s been a few months since I’ve actually had time to shoot a proper video review. Thankfully my workload has finally slowed down and I can get back to my regular video schedule. I was so intrigued by the Samson Airline Micro, that I locked myself in the basement with it for a few days […]
22Nov Noob shock mount used for DIY zoom h1 boom pole.
It’s great when someone thinks of a way to use the Noob shock mount for something completely different then I had intended. Yiannis put together this simple but effective boom pole using PVC pipe and the Noob shock mount adapter, then added a 1/8 inch cable extender for headphone monitoring. Yiannis mentioned that a windscreen is a […]
30Sep Field recorders a short round up.
When I pitted the Zoom h1 against the Tascam DR-05, I had planned to sell one of them off, but as of yet I haven’t taken the time to do it. Four hand held field recorders are probably two too many. I generally need a very small unit for quick and easy audio work, and […]
29Sep Tascam DR-40 – First impressions
The Tascam DR-40 finally showed up on my door step this morning after several shipping delays. A few of the features seem very interesting, like the ability to record 2 copies of the same audio, each at different levels and the ability to over-dub and extra audio track, but I’ll cover more of those features […]
21Sep Juicedlink DS214 adapters finally back in the Noob store.
There was finally a brake in the orders for Zoom h1 shock mounts and my makerbot wasn’t out of service with mechanical problems. This gave me the day worth of testing and editing I needed to iron out the problems I was having with the Juicedlink DS214 adapter design. You can now, once again, order […]
15Sep Shock mounts back in stock again.
I have plastic and hardware back in stock and the makerbot is again running at full steam, shock mounts are now back in the Noob store. DS214 adapters might come back in a few weeks once the second printer is up and running. Also new items in the Noob store coming tomorrow. I’ll keep you […]
15Sep Tascam Takes another swing at Zoom with the Tascam DR-40 4 track recorder.
A few months back Tascam released the DR-05 which seemed to be a direct competitor to the Zoom h1 field recorder, I compared the two units side by side and it did seem like the over all build quality of the DR-05 was better then the Zoom h1, though the H1 wins in the size category. […]
08Sep Adjustable tripod mount for your field recorder.
Sometimes it’s nice to mount your field recorder closer to your subject and still keep it out of frame or place it close to something you’re trying to sample. You could use an adjustable friction arm, but a cheaper and easier way is to use a boom mic stand and add this On Stage 1/4 20 […]
06Sep DualEyes and Pluraleyes 2.0 Multiprocessor support
If you’re a Canon 7d owner like myself, you’ve probably learned to deal with dual system sound. The cheapest way to go is to keep notes on your footage and manually sync audio in post. This is usually fine for 3 or 4 min shorts, but when you start getting into bigger projects with hundreds of clips, […]
23Aug Zoom H1 shock mount in the wild on a boom.
Ryan posted this video comparing the Zoom H1 against the Rode VideoMic. It’s always interesting to see how the H1’s built in mics compare to dedicated microphones. But what really puts a smile on my face is that he’s using the NOOB Shock mount throughout the test. It always makes me happy to see my […]
