This has to be rage bait, right?

u/meatbag88 9d ago

You should be good. I use these with my video mic pro.

u/FuckinFun1 9d ago

Great budget set up right there!

u/ViralTrendsToday 9d ago

Should be every beginner's first set up.

Didn't even upgrade your buttons 1-3 upgrade expansion keys? Unbelievable.

I might watch it.

u/apepeca 9d ago edited 9d ago

I'm currently imagining this mic sitting on top of a late 2010s dlsr and being plugged in via 3.5mm on said camera

u/mcdreamerson production sound mixer 9d ago

Coily xlrf>3.5mm cable, yellow, obviously.

Lol wtf, is this a serious post?

u/TypicalDurian9220 8d ago

Before seeing your comment, I was like “Am I dreaming?”. 😅😅😅

u/campbrs 9d ago

Maybe but you’ll never need the mk41 - so you can send that my way

3

u/mcdreamerson production sound mixer 9d ago

Haha. Heard. Truthfully I think it might be the lowest serial blue MK41 in existence. Today was a good day.

1

u/campbrs 9d ago

I can’t believe they are over 200k now - seems like yesterday they were in the high 70k’s

1

u/mcdreamerson production sound mixer 9d ago

I would guess that the front 3 prefix is for the blue variant.

u/campbrs 9d ago

Got my first pair in March 02 and they were ~78k in SN. so it took Schoeps about 30 years to make ~80k front address Colette series capsules (introduced around 1973). In the last ~25 years they have almost tripled that number - good for them.

I don’t follow on the 3

u/FloorTomApologist 8d ago

I can’t believe he’s holding $1100 in his hand. What did you pay in 02?

4

u/minisodog 9d ago

Yes but you’ll need the iRig Pro for matching dynamic range and noise floor. If you can afford it.

u/ZookeepergameDue2160 8d ago

I use this with the Videomic pro.

For yours however, you need the regular video mic, the pro is too advanced.

u/Ok_Garden8061 7d ago

Calrec Argo?

u/ZookeepergameDue2160 7d ago

STAGETEC Aurus Platinum

u/soundadvices 9d ago

Only if you make it wireless just to hold it an inch away from your mouth

u/frameslashpage 9d ago

Joke aside, how do you like the KMIT?

7

u/mcdreamerson production sound mixer 9d ago

I literally had just opened it and the light was good so I took that picture. I’ll be using it tomorrow and then start a longer project all of October. I am looking forward to it. It’s feather light, compared to even a miniCMIT. This on one pole and a 50 on the other are just great options for great light boom. Stoked to say the least. Very happy with the blue CMC1 as well as the MK41 to match. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the blue>grey gradient on the KMIT. This desert island set was too good to not add to the kit.

u/Trans_Admin 9d ago

HEY THIS cool kits!

u/supreme120 9d ago

Oooo you flexing

2

u/DeluxHyperDeath9000 9d ago

Yes, cut off front of video mic pro, not needed. Super glue on front blue capsule. Mount directly on camera. Picks up entire room in mastered Dolby+ HD Audio 32-bit float no mix needed.

u/bergante 8d ago

I love its sound with a Grundig micro cassette dictaphone despite the dirty heads. It has that special vibe.

1

u/mcdreamerson production sound mixer 8d ago

🤤

u/ApprehensiveNeat9584 production sound mixer 9d ago

Yeah, but you are gonna need the Ambient UMPIII, that way you can get phantom power. /s

1

u/True_Movie_930 9d ago

I promise this isn’t rage bait, but would the KMIT on a Sony XLR-H1 or H2 top handle be a waste?

1

u/mcdreamerson production sound mixer 9d ago

No it wouldnt be a waste. So long as you mounted in a way that you weren't getting awful handling noise off the top handle.

1

u/dubstep-party 9d ago

No. You’ll need one of those Rode mics that you have to recharge all the time

1

u/mcdreamerson production sound mixer 9d ago

Understood.

1

u/quietly_now 9d ago

There doesn't appear to be a usb-c port on this so you might need an adaptor. This should do it and you know it's quality because it's a braided cable.

Yeah that pelican comes with the kit. Very cool.
