Rodney is on the money as far as the SD 302 goes. I use a Marantz PMD 660 for transcription purposes, it records mp3 or.wav files. Sounds fine. No timecode though.

Laura, according to the operators manual for the z1u there is a Mic select mode in the menus. There you can choose either internal mic or external xlr. It does not state anywhere if you can use both at the same time.

Laura, set channel 1 to external, channel 2 to internal. In the Scroll down the audio menus, you will find Input Level 1 and 2. For Input 1 select MIC level. You don’t need to do anything for Input 2. At the back of the camera, click channel 1 into manual mode. Leave channel 2 in auto. Or if levels get too hot, click to manual and take it down. Push status check and the audio meters will appear, set channel 1 to -20db. Do the same for the internal mic if it starts to clip.

Boundary mics are ideal. Go to peterengh.com.

Chris,
I was using TOD when I jam synced my cameras. Hardwired though. Go to the RAMPS chat site. Wireless timecode send and receive issues are thoroughly covered there. -
I second John’s suggestion. I recently worked on a 4 camera HVX900 shoot, I jam synced all the cameras the way John described, had zero problems with drift.

You fail to mention what’s between your receiver(s) and your camera. Are you using a mixer?
Or straight to Cam? Could be many variables…. Poor cable/connection, mixer input or output bad, inputs on camera…Or the receiver has short, etc. -
Quote “if you will be doing any of the following; double system sound production, shooting in sync with film cameras running 24 frames per second, or shooting at 25 fps for down conversion to PAL; the recommended system freq setting is 60hz.

Goodman’s Guide to Varicam recommends shooting Varicam at 60hz when recording double system sound. If you go to the RAMPS (Recording Arts Motion Picutre Sound) chat site and search through the old posts ,this issue has been addressed several times by leading sound recordists.
