First of All,

Thank you Ty, I was banging my head against the wall I searched everywhere online and all I could come up with was that I needed a DMW-XLR1 which is‎ US$397.99 in Andorama (I’m in the UK but its about the same give or take.

I did what you said ( I must have missed that when I read the manual 2 years ago.) but it works, well sort of. I reduced it to -30 but its still kind of loud but if they talent speaks at their own natural way then it should be ok (fingers crossed)

I really would love as best as I can get and struggle to believe this is it using the AVX on the GH5 as in the camera it has been lowered to its minimum which is -12 (I don’t think I cant get it any lower unless put the mic in the talents sock, now there’s an idea!)

using my older G2’s gives me a slightly better sound (a touch quieter but the antennas are beginning to come apart and I am worried that it would look tacky (Have ordered replacements though.)

I suppose I am going to have to do what I can with what I have but I just don’t feel comfortable with this.

Do you think I should just say “what the heck” and dip into my cat’s college funds?

I have read through the replies in the audio section you are amazing in the extent you go to help people.

Thank you Ty you are a real decent person.

Kudos to you.

What lenses did you use? (Did they have image stabilisation turned on?)
Did you use any kind of stabilisation software/hardware?

for shots like that, you should plan them, test them out first and see what method works the best personally I would have slowed it down and then applied some stabilisation but doing my best to keep it steady when shot maybe even using a good slider.

Hope you work it out, but it doesn’t look that bad and could still be fixed if you slowed it down and stabilised it a bit (as long as you haven’t already used it.)

Best

Not sure if this helps but thought I’d send you the link, its about shooting in Lowlight and how to get the best results.

Hello Ty,

Thank you for your reply and sorry for my delay in getting back I was away for a few days.

I think I managed to isolate the problem.
It was the cable – Movo MV-RC100 3.5mm Male Line-in to Male Microphone Attenuator Cable, although new and never used it has a suspected fault as I bought another which does not have the same effect and sounds much better.
the camera and zoom 6 settings remain exactly the same which is how I know.

I honestly thought I was doing something wrong, but a few friends told me that it should not be happening which prompted me into getting another Movo MV-RC100 to see if it would make any difference. (and it did.)

Again I would like to say thank you for your time and recommendations which I am sure at some point will come in handy.

Warm regards.

Hugh

Hi Richard,

Thank you for taking the time to reply, sorry for the delay in getting back I was away.

I was told by friends that the quality should be as near if not equal to the wireless in audio, so in the meantime, I bought another this time it works much better so I am not sure what is causing the slight echo as I have made no changes to the camera (GH5) or the Zoom and as for the AVX system that’s all auto.
All I can think is that something was wrong with the first wire although not sure what as it was unused until the test?

But the sound is much better.

ps, the only technical details I could find was –

You are right, they were plasti- soldered I was wondering why they would do that, what a waste?
Why can’t they make them so they can be repaired? (Oh well!)

Thank you, Eric, I will take your advice on the Neutrik XLR-M.

All the best.

Hello Richard ,

The parts A and B join together the wires are fed through A then soldered onto B and I believe that it can then lock together (a one time only lock) from here it should be very easy to assemble my only concern is that some type of special heat tool is required for fixing A & B together.

Thank you once again.

Hugh.

Hello Richard,

I am in the process of buying speaker/s, I was thinking along the lines of something like the Skytek SP1500A 15″ or any others that I could use and I noticed they have an XLR Mic in, XLR Line in, & XLR Line out.

so far I have 2 sets of Sennheiser’s EW 100-ENG G2 Wireless Lavalier Microphone System, with BodyPack Transmitter and hoping to get another 2/3 more set, I also have a Sennheiser hand mic transmitter.

more than a few cables but not an unbalanced 3.5mm to dual 3 pins (Male) XLR Y-Splitter, which I am seeing if I can have made for the purpose intended.

Please see attached picture, I was wondering if I could connect the Sennheiser G2 EW100 EK100 Wireless Bodypack Receiver to the XLR Mic input on the speaker and then run an XLR (female to male) 3 pin cable from the line out into the zoom H6 for recording.

Do you think this could work?

Thank you once again.

Best regards

Hugh

Soumendra Jena,

Have you ever tried using PluralEyes (software) it does all the syncing for you and saves you all the headaches?
