Sony Md Dat Optical Out For Bluetooth Transmitter

A producer who markets CDs for high school reunions encouraged me to buy this particular MD 46 mic to use because of the noisy background environments of those video jobs. We interview 50-90 people at each one of these reunions. Two years ago I could not afford the expense of the Sennheiser transmitter and receiver and waited for Rode's transmitter to be marketed separately. I just recently got the Rode Transmitter and this MD 46 mic and it works beautifully. Many of you will laugh at what I was using before-a Sony Bluetooth AW3 wireless microphone taped to a non working Karaoke microphone! These are outstanding Chap Stick size mics that are better than nothing, but no where near the quality and performance of the Sennheiser MD 46 that isolates the majority of background chatter and noise and is network quality. And here's a valuable tip that may save you the grief I had on the first job when I couldn't get the Rode transmitter to pair up with the Rode receiver: You sometimes have to push the RED button INSIDE the Rode receiver for it to pair up. Wish I had known that the first time I tried because I had to go back to the Sony Mickey Mouse Mic that night to save the show and got this tip from the Rode tech guy in their San Diego office. Bottom line, after a successful job last night with this new mic, I'm in love with the Sennheiser MD 46!

Out of the box and onto the camera's hotshot: so simple to set up and use unlike other transmitter/receivers used in studio with strobes. Set the mode, set your channel to same channel as the receiver, release the shutter and "Your image" is captured. Use this Air Remote with the Profoto A10s.

Great mic for my Sony wireless transmitter.

Out of all the Bluetooth speakers I've used, this is by far the very best. Sounds good, the battery life is a bonus, and the feel and the weight of the product are very durable. Overall, its quality at its very best...

Using this on FF Sony. Bought this to explore some options for a variety of my older Minolta MF lenses. I am still learning the best ways to use the Tilt function to proper effect. The image circle of many of my Minolta MD glass seems to be large enough to cover all but the most extreme shift functions without vignette. APS-C would have little to no problems. If you have some Minolta MD mount glass left from your manual focus days, I would suggest it.

Wanting to use my Minolta MD legacy lenses on my Sony Alpha 7, I purchased this unit. Going full manual is fine for me - I love the control. The older glass has some great uses and image quality is superb...this adapter makes it possible at a very good price from B&H. Quality of this adapter is excellent.

There's not much to this. It accepts an MD mount and mounts perfectly to my Sony a6000. It is not the slightest bit loose or worrisome. It comes with a tripod mount, which is handy dandy and screws off if you don't want it. I guess the only negative thing I can think of is that the alignment dot is red, whereas the dot on my camera is white. That confused me for about 2 seconds. It works perfectly and is exactly what it claims to be. Perfect for adapting manual focus lenses.

The finish and fit of the Fotodiox Minolta MD/MC adapter to my Sony A7R is right up there in quality as the far more expensive adapters. Being able to pull my vintage Rokkor lenses out of the drawer and have them back on the the job really makes my day. I actually enjoy the feel of manual focus, and the results are impressive. I'd easily give 5 stars to the folks at Fotodiox for a very nicely engineered product at a very fair price.

Works as expected. Nice tight fit on both the Sony and Minolta sides. The Minolta MD primes look great with the new digital technology. Be sure to use a tripod though. There is no image stabilization on those old manual lenses.
