Heinz - what a splendid setup! :)
Bamboo too heavy?? Seriously? It's empty inside. Or is there something I don't know? Compared to my head it should weight next to nothing :)
Mine's probably around 2 kgs.
Not to mention the 3,5 kgs of Neuman's head...
But, true, ours are not something easy to carry around on long distances.
As one of famous photographers (he worked with large format cameras) said:
"If it's more than 150 m from the car, it is not photogenic".
In our case: "it doesn't sound interesting" ?
Thanks for the kind words.
Near field sounds result obviously in much more interesting spatial effecs.
Once I snuck up on a log-with-lavs setup and reloaded a gun. A metal replica. But it being a real world sound, not Hollywood SFX, it wasn't recognisable when I listened to it few days later. True, nice spatial positioning but just a metallic clicking.
Cheers
