  • ideas on how to get clearcom( or any communications) to XL1 camera op in Live shoot

    Im using an XL1 on this live band shoot and I want to be able to talk to my camera op if possible, how would you guys set this up, this will be at a concert so the lines will be run through people, so it has to be a pretty industrial solution…but not too expensive…

    If you are running a tether to the camera, then run clearcom from the truck with it,
    and use a belt-pack for the cam op.

    If the camera is free roving, use inexpensive FRS two way radios with headsets.

    ya, Im just running a BNC/compostie to the camera…..can you suggest a model for the 2 way? can you hear with these during a loud concert? And can you talk hands free?

    You can purchase these little FRS radios at places like Best Buy, and some are available with a vox activated mic,
    but that might not be great in a concert setting.

    Can you not just run Clearcom line along with the composite line from your truck and use a belt pack?

    I’m also curious how you are going to feed Genlock to the XL1, Or I guess your not.
