I actually use the TX660 on the bride. Depending on the dress, I usually ask the bride if she’s comfortable placing the recorder between her chest or one side of her bosom, and 99% of the time, she’s OK with it. Audio sounds clean. No ruffles, no noise.
Should I get an F3 over the H4 Essential? The H4 has on board mics, so I thought it was a bit more versatile but everyone seems to love the F3! Audio newb over here if anyone can help!
I love the balanced approach y’all have when it comes to weddings. I think far too often we see people fighting hard against timecode for absolutely no good reason, but you aren’t Justin Porter as well with 36 mics (even tho I am a huge supporter of him and member). Balance has helped me in my personal life and thank you for encouraging this balance while still prioritizing quality and couple experience!
There are so many RIGHT ways to film weddings - you need to draw inspiration from those around you - but ultimately decide on what works best for YOU and your style
I have also seen 3.5mm jacks on the celebrant's speaker, so this is another lead that would be necessary. A 3.5mm to XLR or the input source of your recorder.
My TX660 saves me more than my F3, and TASCAM Pros on almost every wedding 👍 and the Bumblebee concealers make the wireless lava actually usable. Wish this video existed about 2 years ago, very valuable info here 👏🙂
@@JakeWeisler Jake you mention the bubblebee lav concealer but which one fits the dr10L lavmic? Their website doesn't seem to list one that fits the tascam lavs.
What is your take on using rode wireless pro or dji mic 2 transmitter alone as replacement for sony tx660. They both can be used as standalone recorder and are also very small if not smaller and record higher bit depth.
Yeah excellent options as well. In our experience, we've always had SOME issues with the wireless transmitters. Sometimes if they get super separated they freak out, or sometimes the transmission interferes with the DJ's feed. I feel like they're better vlogging audio devices than live event recorders! But that's just my take.
What I really mean is not connect to receiver. Only the transmitter turned on and has the internal recording on. So use it as standalone recorder. Both rode and dji can do this.
@@nightdonutstudio I have used the DJI the same way you want to use it for over 30 weddings already with no problem. Press record and leave the receiver in the case and you will have no problem. The only issue is setting up the gain but after a few weddings you can dial it, or buy the new one which does 32bit float. I hope this helps.
I bought a wireless microphone, Lark M2, do you think I should switch to the Sony TX660? I use the Zoom H1N on the soundboard. What basic kit would you recommend for beginners?

As for a beginner setup, the H1N is excellent, the Sony Tx660 as a backup, and then some Tascam DR-10Ls as lav mics!
I LOVE the versatility of the tx660 and ease of use compared to my dr10l, just throw it on someone and go, even though the drl10l sounds just a smidge better.
Great video Jake! We have pretty much the same kit haha! Does the bubblebee lav concealer work with the Tentacle lav mic? Cause I can see it's made for Sennheiser ME 2-II 🤔
Great video as usual! I'm using Rode GO II's as stand alone recorders for speeches and sometimes the officiant since they have dual track recording😊 I've bought two of those Sony 660s in the last 12 years of filming Weddings and I've lost both of them. They are so nice and small to hide but they hide from me when I'm leaving the wedding too😢
I use the Sony TX660 for other reasons Lol. For getting important speech notes when writing reports, for recording someone in a criminal evidence set-up and for recording lectures and note taking later🔥

Have'n't used them! But I kinda just group them into the same categories as all those wireless vlogging mics. Not insanely reliable for live event filmmaking for me personally!
Hi thank you for video, but at time 7ish you said male cable splitter to two females but in Picture in Picture you showed xls female! to male patch Y cable and it's confusing, with respect to LGBT! community still there are lot of difference! between male and female cables :))
