Coles Watch Battery

The lip mic does its job as well as any tool I've used in broadcast journalism over 23 years. You need high quality narration track in a noisy environment? Like a war zone? Go back and watch file of Ted Koppel sitting atop a tank turret as the US marines rolled into Iraq--reporting with good audio as the invasion started--while using a Coles lip mic. This Coles 4104B Lip Microphone never lets me down and it is worth its weight in gold...but please don't raise the price because I wrote this. I have these mics in all of our ENG and SNG trucks for tracking packages in the field. Wouldn't want to work without them.

Biased Brit I may be, but I came to love this fine mike at the BBC where it was designed in 1953. I'm now a voice actor, and use an NT1A capacitor to punch through music and effects, but turn happily to my Coles for narration and anything else that needs smooth, warm, natural repro 'with a smile'. Because I know producers are used to capacitor sheen, I use a touch of high-top EQ with the Coles although it is flat to 15k. It does come with a very odd fifties plug-base, so you are wise to buy the adaptor that fixes it to a modern stand, but I managed to wedge mine into a standard cradle. A surprise was the ribbon's ability to minimise external traffic rumble. Musician friend highly impressed by rendition of his saxophone.

Great battery life. Simple watch. Lots of third-party app

Would still like a camera and more battery life. Perhaps someday the watch band will become smart... Maybe an optional third party watch band with a battery and camera and strap connector acts as contacts to the watch...

The gimbal, after you balance it, is great. Watch YouTube videos they're a bunch. Just make sure your cameras battery is fully charged when it's time to shoot for real. It's a little bit of a pain to take off gimbal and change battery and then get back to work. Focus work brilliantly and is suprising how well it works. Gh5 users... please make sure the battery is full and the card... if not you have to break it down to access them... not fun. All said, it's great for both business and busy work. I would buy again.

The watch does everything I wanted. Only downfall is the battery only good for day and a half but th.ats fine.

The battery life is far better than pervious versions of the watch, always love B&H, service is geat and timely

Not being a touch screen is actually a bonus. Cannot fault this watch never let me down has a great battery. As a technical watch I have used this in the field end it is excellent. I have had every sort of watch and collect watches but I still feel this would be one of the best. Highly highly recommended from a confirmed horologist

Stoked on this watch out in the field. I'm a squad boss in Wildland Fire and it's perfect out there. Battery lasts long (I also don't connect it to my texts) and there's many features that our helpful when dealing with situations and planning tactics. Easy to use once you figure out all the shortcuts and widgets.

Very pleased with this watch. Synchs with my iphone11. Battery lasts for at least a week. Provides sleep pattern and daily step count. Great looking and easy to use. Provides a similar experience as a much more expensive watch.
