Mach Brass Instruments

This is a work horse mic used by every sound engineer to record any type of instruments:brass, percussion, etc.

I use this mic to record string and wind (brass mostly) instruments.  The different patterns make it effective in a variety of spaces depending on whether you want to reject other sounds or include reflections.  Versatile and great sound quality.

I like so mach this is my second unit i have HD 4000 also

I'm a Benro Fanboy, got this to go along with my Mach 3 CF Tripod

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

brass works!

I like the brass construction.

I recently got an Astro-Physics Eagle pier for my Mach 2 mount. (I'd been using my Celestron CGEM tripod.) The Lightware bag they carry was out of stock, so I got this bag suggested by B&H. It's a perfect fit and although not really in use yet it looks like it'll be very solid. Reinforced bottom, side pocket, handles and shoulder strap, along with interior straps which I don't really need. Very impressed with this bag! I found later that B&H has the same Lightware bag that A-P offers (I think it's Lightware C6032 32 Cargo Case), and I'm sure it's very good too, but the price is quite a bit higher.

Bought this Head and a Benro Mach 3 CF tripod to hold a Nikon 500 f4 and full frame body. The fit and finish are good and the mechanism is smooth for pan and tilt. The head seems very capable of handling the weight of my set up. The camera and lens move effortlessly when properly balanced. The Mach 3 CF Tripod is also a good value. Sturdy light and reasonably priced. Overall this is a good value. I cannot compare to more expensive heads like Wimberly because I never used or owned one. I do own and use a Promaster Gimbal and can say that this Benro is much smoother and sturdier. If you are on a budget and need a sturdy gimbal head this should do the trick.

I'd been using a cheap video tripod I got off Amazon for video shoots for a while and I always felt like it was too much for my mirrorless camera. Also I'm way quicker and more familiar with my Benro Mach 3 tripod. It was a great discovery to find Benro makes a lightweight video head that will work on my Mach 3. All that's left is to figure out who might be able to use my old video tripod.
