My Trigger finger pointed towards audio gear

So as of recent I have had a trigger finger when it comes to purchasing new audio equipment. Just recently purchasing 2 Sennheiser G4 wireless microphones, which will prove great importance when I am next recording on a production for film and television. I know that the 2 lavier microphones that come with the pack are not great at being concealed and also being a nuisance for picking up interference from clothing. I have taken a mental note to purchase a Sanken cos-11 microphone and maybe a DPA lavalier but of course this would amount to a great amount of money, but is something I would like to afford in the foreseeable future.

I have also purchased a pair of Rode NT5's that will prove beneficial when it comes to recording foley and also some instances of dialogue where the low noise floor and proximity of the actor may allow it. I have now acquired 6 microphones (including my Rode NTG-2 shotgun and H6), that allow me to deliver when necessary and for certain purposes, typically inside and outside dialogue plus foley recording.

As for my other equipment I currently have a zoom F8 that allows me to record clean dialogue at a low noise floor (as for good pre amps), and also the use of timecode to jam sync with picture enabling easier editing in post production. I have also purchased a Zoom H6 that makes any field recording a lot easier than carrying the F8 around with me, whilst also capturing great clean audio at a high sample rate and bit rate (I typically record at 24 bit 48khz).

I also own a box full of various cables, adapters and additional backups such as hirose and other cables such as an XLR to 3.5mm (which are typically used for the receivers, but also good for transmitters also). The box also contains a number of different tapes for different purposes, such as duct tape and gaffer tape (careful not to confuse the two), and also various other equipment to help when on the job, scissors and stickies etc..

I believe that I made a mistake in purchasing an Orca-30 bag, as this was totally unnecessary in terms of cost (over £300 for a bag to hold my recorder), and could have otherwise used a cheaper alternative to negate the ridiculous price and maybe overpriced product (in my opinion of course).

As far as gear I am wanting there are a few things in the pipeline that I believe would fit perfectly into my audio arsenal.

This includes

- Rode Link (to allow the director to listen to the recording)

- Timecode (to jam in sync with picture (to ease the frustration in post production)

- Pair of Sanken Cos-11 lavaliers (great for concealment and quality)
