As always, make sure you're using best practices when placing your microphones. Of course, so much about getting great lav audio depends on the microphone placement and the type of clothing your actors are wearing. I'm often surprised by the quality of audio when I play them back. Simply put, the audio captured on these things sounds great. My solution to this is a T-REIGN Small Retractable Gear Tether, which keeps the controller secured and accessible on your rig. Later, we found it clipped onto a branch. Another time, it came off his rig when moving through an orange grove. I had to run back up the mountain and search for it (I found it). Once, after hiking down a mountain, our sound man realized that the clip had fallen off somewhere on the trail. I highly recommend securing this controller to your kit via a clip or tie, as during the course of shooting it can become hard to keep track of. config file on each of your units, you really start unleashing the power of the unit. I had never flipped a DIP switch in my life until working with the wireless DAR124RX01, and I was able to get the whole thing set up and configured in a couple hours. This is a way of saying: you need to read the user manual. Thankfully, it is clearly written and should quickly demystify the complexities of the unit. JuicedLink is able to pack so much power into a small unit at an affordable price (currently $265 US) by forgoing some of the "consumer friendly" features in favor of raw power. Recessed power/stop button prevents interruption.
Its small form factor, high quality recording and long battery life made me excited about the possibilities of the unit when applied to guerrilla and micro-budget filmmaking.Īfter nearly two years of waiting, I've finally gotten the chance to familiarize myself with these units and test them in a real world application. I went hands-on with the JuicedLink Little DARling, a forward-thinking audio solution for videographers and filmmakers.Įver since the Little DARling was announced at NAB 2014, I immediately knew I wanted to get my hands on several of them.
