Audio Bootcamp Field Guide - After answering thousands of online questions from videographers about how to capture better sound on video shoots, studio and location audio pro Ty Ford wrote "Ty Ford's Audio Bootcamp Field Guide." Readers are initially surprised by how small the book is, but find that there are no wasted words and that all of them make sense to the average human; no electronic formulas to memorize, no discussions about wavelengths, calculus, trigonometry or physics required.

Boom, lav and handheld mics are discussed. A section on mic patterns and their strengths and weaknesses help you choose which mic is best for a particular shot. The Mixer section explains why a mixer can make your audio sound better and how to connect everything to help you get better production sound rather than spending time in post trying to fix problem audio.

A Q&A chapter takes you through the thought processes required to make good decisions about how to get the best audio you can, regardless of the setup.

The Good Gear Guide is an up to date list of solid location audio gear. The Equipment Rental Guide is a list of qualified professional equipment rental houses in the US, in case you need to rent audio gear you don't have. Heavy-duty plastic covers insure the book will survive in a run bag. Spiral binding allows the book to remain open to the page you want without having to hold it.

The Anti-Panic Checklist on the back cover helps you through those anxious moments when you know some thing's wrong, but you're not sure where to look. In a companion online video tutorial, Ty Ford demonstrates the differences in ear-worn, lav, supercardioid and shotgun mics. You hear what the mics sound like as they are being used with an on-going narrative that explains what you're hearing and which mics work best in different situations.

Not as tall as anticipated
Color: Black, Size: Wheel-6 Panel
Definitely not 6 feet tall, more like 5 1/2. Very sturdy and the fabric is thick. Works well for what we're using it for.

Good for my set up
Color: Black, Size: 15FT (Rotating Plug)
I have been using this to redo my office setup so that I have less cords going everywhere and this was the longest one that I could find with a bunch of grounded ports. I mounted it in a cable organizer under my desk and so far is going great. The cord length is perfect for what I needed because unfortunately where my desk is positioned in my office the nearest outlet is a ways away behind another piece of furniture. It was super easy to install because there's really no installation You just plug it in and you can rotate the cord in the socket so that it helps keep the direction easy for access to wherever you need to have it run to. It seems like it's durable I've had it probably 3 weeks now and the power has been turned off numerous times because of the enhanced safety features and so far none of my stuff has been damaged so I am thankful for that. I think it works well and I haven't had to use any of the USB ports or the c ports but I like that they are there so that as I add more stuff to my setup I have a place that I can easily plug them in.

Very nice power strip
Color: Black, Size: 5FT (Flat Plug)
It’s very nice that it has outlets facing different directions on the one side than the other. This allowed me to plug in a variety of different items including a smart plug.
