That Xvive P1 Portable Phantom Power looks interesting. Will look into it. Thanks

@dqstudios Год назад

it’s a great addition but be sure to get the right cable 👍

@teolopez 6 месяцев назад

I really love the Track E. Watching this video helped me place a mic as a backup for an event I was covering. Fortunately for me I have a Deity D3 Pro mic which has internal battery. I used my pistol grip on a table top tripod for the mic and a gaff tape to mount the Track E to it. Worked really well. I did by the Zoom F3 but now I am thinking about selling it. I wish I could jam timecode to it with the Tentacle Sync. Great video!

@dqstudios 6 месяцев назад

great setup! Yes: almost bought the F3 but lack of timecode support was a deal killer.

@PrendosNewZealandLimited Год назад

@alzibaba 9 месяцев назад

Great idea! I've been toying with adding a Zoom F3 to an R5C, but the lack of timecode's been holding me back. Seeing your video made me wonder if I can get audio out of a Tentacle Track E (Euro version) into camera so I get a back up recording just in case, and sure enough, it works great via a 3.5mm jack, a nice solution for an on camera set up with an XLR mic. Thanks for the inspiration!

@GusAlZabri 5 дней назад

thank you for sharing.. Valuable info in the video. I love the mic comparison. I have a question and a couple of remarks. Question: What's the battery life on the Xvive P1? Remark 1: I would recommend using a 3.5 locking connector on the cable to have that extra security on the cable Remark 2: to me it looks just a bit too bulky. since you are using such high end mics, why not use Zaxcom ZMT4? It can can transmit and record simultaneously in the USA. Now deity are offering such devices such as DXTX & DLTX

@ggengs Год назад

this is really great idea! respact

@dqstudios Год назад

@kevinedwards2658 Год назад

Very helpful, but given I use a different small shotgun microphone can you run a list of the accessories you used to mount your 416 into this kit. Great review and thank you for taking the time. Great job

@dqstudios Год назад

I would likely run an xlr cable from a shockmounted 416 (rode shockmount works well) into the Xvive and ditch the xvive shockmount hack. Hope this helps!

@OrcadiaFilm 7 месяцев назад

Hi amazing video. I ate clicked all the links but can not find the cable? Tentacle themselves could not help

great review ! Do you think that these kits can work perfectly form filmmaking ?

@dqstudios Месяц назад

absolutely. I’m using this setup on my commercial and documentary projects

@Mac1Sound 28 дней назад

I don't know what's going on with that phantom power unit....but it is wrecking the sound quality of the 8050. If my 8050 sounded that bad I would have sent it to be checked. Have you tried & compared the difference with the zoom recorder. I would recommend the UMP III by Ambient. its a built for adding 48/12v to mics and is sonically transparent. Great video mate. As it stands the 416 wipes the floor with the 8050, But I know thats not the case as I have both those mics and they are both awesome in their on way. I would seriously take a look at that phantom unit.

@clementchu6459 7 месяцев назад

Love your video and really informative. I have a question to ask, I have an old Buddhist guru who will have a teaching, but his voice is really soft and low due to his health, i have tried some clip mic on his clothes, not good. I try get a headset mic but he do not like it. I am thining to get a nice boom mic from a distance like around 50cm, can i get more suggestions.? thx

@dqstudios 7 месяцев назад

a good shotgun mic can definitely work. Also a good lav mic like a dpa 6060 placed well can also work. Regardless of the method of capture, you’ll almost always need to do some post work cleanup. I bought DX revive to clean up audio and love it. Highly recommended.

@JADURCA 2 месяца назад

Do we have to turn off the MIC Plugin Power on the Tentacle Track E settings before connecting XLR Female to 3.5mm cable?

@dqstudios Месяц назад

I do not. I do leave everything unplugged, then turn everything on, then plug everything in now.

dude thank you for this and thank you for sharing the bible verse. It's hard to find people in our video production world who are believers and arent afraid to share that. God bless bro! Today, do you still recommend this setup or have some parts changed?

@ShortStoryInspiration 5 месяцев назад

Very nice! Are you still using this setup? Want to make something similiar with a mkh50 and a rode wireless pro. I had a look at the Radius Winshiels RAD-1, the xlr clamp seems great to be able to secure the Xvive P1. Just can't find a super short xlr to 3.5mm unbalanced

Yes! Use this on all my doc interviews. It works great with the Rode Wireless Pro (I have a set) with the added bonus of being able to wirelessly monitor audio via the receiver.

@rdstudios-production 5 месяцев назад

@jeffreythemeditator Год назад

Nice setup. But is seems to me that a Zoom F3 would be just as compact, while providing phantom power. Not sure what the tentacle has that the zoom f3 doesn't apart from timecode, but you didn't mention that, did you? Also, the zoom f3 setup would be quite a bit cheaper. Anyway, nice video.

@dqstudios Год назад

it’s definitely the timecode and size. Remember you will still require a shockmount of some sort. I also have come to love the built-in battery which makes it a breeze to charge everything up.

@TheVisualVanguard 3 месяца назад

@@dqstudiossame question but with the rode wireless pro and a quality shotgun mic that doesn’t require phantom power. Is the difference in mic quality worth the size and complexity trade off?

@dqstudios 3 месяца назад

@@TheVisualVanguardI’ve used it with the Rode Wireless Pro. While it worked, the recorded files were definitely noisier than with the Tentacle Sync Track E. Nothing new AI audio cleaning software can’t take care of, but for ultimate fidelity, the Rode Wireless Pro is not ideal. Strangely, the Wireless Pro’s sound great with my DPA 6060 mics, but not so greatly with my DPA 6061’s . Not sure why as they both have the same requirement for plug in power.

@TheVisualVanguard 3 месяца назад

@@dqstudios ahh I see, thanks for the insight. I assume you still used the xvive for phantom power in this set up right? Are there any shotgun Mic’s that don’t require Phantom power that are comparable?

@dqstudios 3 месяца назад

@@TheVisualVanguardI haven’t found any that sound as good as these mics … but there are definitely good mics available like the MKE 600 that takes battery power amzn.to/3vpLcUd But the 8050 is better sounding. I say buy once, cry once - and you’ll have a setup you can use for years

hi, great video, but quick question about the Xvive P1. Does it have a preAmp or is it just (somehow) phantom power? Because I dont want to plug my expensive pro mic into a cheap $60 premamp before recording it into the Track E. thanks.
