Standard American Wind Band Instrumentation

Good charger. The plug here is American standard.

Its built tough, and its an american standard, can't go wrong. No problems yet.

Band works well and much better than a standard rubber band. I use it to lock in a focus length when I'm walking around since zoom lenses tend to creep when hanging by the sling I use. It's easy enough to push out of the way and the lens will move again without resistance but even with the band in place it's possible to zoom in and out with a little more force. BOTTOM LINE: If you have lens creep occurring this will fix the problem and is an easy and relatively inexpensive solution.

This is the industry standard- regular spring loaded base. Matthews or American. The legs are welded to the base fittings, not clamped like all the import brands- including Manfrotto/Avenger. This keeps it simple, lighter, takes up less space on the cart. The new imports are heavier, and the legs seem to always loosen. So for c-stands, it's Matthews or American Grip for me.

I am currently trying to do some 4x5 after a long absence. Tri-x has been around since about 1940 and continues to be a standard. I like it. I like showing support for an American company and I hope to see Kodak continue to produce film.

I use the MA200 (3/8 -16 to 5/8-27 adapter) with a 3/8-16 to 1/4-20 adapter. The two, in combination allow a standard American mic clip to be mounted on a standard American tripod or camera mount. The adapter is well made. is nicely machined and fits snugly.

I needed something to record band rehearsals and gigs. I wind up sticking it on a mic stand using the adapter from the accessory kit and putting it in the middle of the playing area. The H2N does a remarkably good job and is quite easy to use. I can easily share Mp3s with other band members or friends to discuss issues and, etc. So this has been a very useful tool.

This microphone is amazing and was a huge upgrade from what I had. I am using it to record our high school marching band and the recordings are so accurate and detailed, it’s near perfect. I record on top of press boxes in the open air most of the time where I have to deal with wind and, with the wind muff, it does a great job even without turning on the wind reduction. If there was one thing I wish it did better, it would be in the reproduction of the lower frequencies but that’s getting really picky. I am using this microphone on the Sony ZV-E10.

Bought the Rode VideoMic Pro shotgun to record our child's band performances, which includes outdoor performances - very few of which have been in calm weather. I find this wind cover does a great job of diminishing wind noise when recording in breezy conditions. Made for this microphone, it fits quite snugly and seems to be sonically transparent.
