Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the boom pole holder include the gray mount or is it just the cradle for the boom pole?

A: This item is just the cradle that holds the boom pole. The mount that is shown in gray in the photo is a grip head which is not included, but we do have them available separately. For example, the Impact Grip Head for Lights and Accessories - 2.5" Diameter - Chrome (B&H # IMKCP200) should work with most stands.

Q: 2. What is maximum distance between the two USB-A sockets? And the key question, will that work in an airliner to draw power from USB sockets in two seats?..

A: The approximate distance between the 2 USB-A connectors of this cable is 3 feet. This distance should allow the user to plug-in each USB-A connector to a power source without straining the cable. While USB-A voltage should always be 5-volts, we cannot comment on the current that is available at each USB-A port of the airline equipment is use, as this probably varies per airplane. As an alternative, you might consider a USB-C-to-USB-C cable along with a portable USB-C power bank / battery.

Q: 3. I have to ask this question because the contact us page on filmdevices site it's not very responsive.....any instruction manual ?

Q: 4. Can someone recommend a Hirose MALE 4 pin to D-Tap cable for this? I want to power my MixPre6 with a V-mount battery.

A: The Remote Audio Anton Bauer PowerTap to 4-Pin Male Hirose DC Power Cable (BH #RECAPTAPHIR) is a great cable option to connect a D-Tap power source to the Cable Techniques MX-POWERSLED for Sound Devices MixPre-3 And MixPre-6: https://bhpho.to/3b8c7JE

Q: 5. Is this combination for upcoming new SONY A7R7 camera ?

Q: 6. So, do the two USB-A connectors plug into those on a PC and the USB-C end plug into the recorder to power it? If so, could I use this with an external USB powerpack that has two USB-A out connections to power the recorder and phantom powered external mics for a period of several hours? (Instead of using Sony L-mount batteries?)

A: Hi Ross, You are correct: the two USB-A connectors would plug into your computer and the USB-C end will connect to your MixPre 3/6 to power it. Yes you can also use a USB Powerpack to power your MixPre-3/6. Just in case here are additional powering options for your reference: https://www.sounddevices.com/tech-notes/mixpre-3-mixpre-6-powering-options Thanks!

Q: 8. If I got this for a MixPre 3 and a Hirose 4-pin to D-Tap/P-Tap cable, would I be able to power it off v-lock batteries with a D-Tap/P-Tap out?Also, If it was to be configured under a camera with v-lock power could it split and share power to both devices or is there load limits, etc?Trying to run it off a RED Raven, but also have the ability to power it separately off v-lock batteries.

A: Question #1) Yes, that should work fine. The MX-Powersled has a large input voltage range of 9 to 24 volts DC, and can accept power from any source that can be wired to the four pin Hirose DC standard, and supply the 7 to 9 watts the Mixpre 3/6 requires. I have used mine with an NP-1 cup to Hirose cable, AC adapter, as well as a car battery alligator clip cable with no problems. Question #2) There should be no issues with sharing a battery between both devices (with a commensurate decrease in overall run time). As indicated above, the Mixpre 3/6 needs about 7-9 watts to run with phantoms on all inputs, less without phantom.The Mixpre-3/6 is a fantastic piece of equipment that is extremely flexible and great sounding. Good Luck!

Q: 9. Is this compatible with the newer versions of the Mix Pre series? I have one, it works well with the Mix Pre 3 v1 but doesn't seem to seat correctly on my Mix Pre 6 II

A: As a better option for the MixPre-6 II, you could use the Sound Devices MX-LMount Battery Sled (B&H # SOMXLMOUNT) which is available in stock.

Q: 10. Is the bottom of the pole threaded to accept a 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 screw?

A: There are no thread connections specified for the bottom of the Film Devices Microphone Travel Boompole Kit (Carbon Fiber). The mounting thread on the top of the pole is 1/4"-20 and can be expanded to 3/8"-16 with the included thread adapter.
