Putting so much effort into the picture,<br>
the sound is often overlooked while filming.<br>
So if you have no dedicated sound guy the usual approach is to at least
get a decent audio recorder and sync it with the images later.<br>
<br>
But what do you do if you notice that the audio levels are spiking or<br>
sound is too faint and you don't want to rely on an automatic compressor to more or less get it right?<br>
You can't touch the recorder during the shots as that would be noticeable in the recording.<br>
<br>
So this allows you to attach the RC04 remote-control for the famous Zoom
H4n audio recorder to the handle of your camera rig and not only
control the levels of all 4 channels (e.g. stereo background, interview
partner and interviewer) but also start and stop the recording, play it
back right after the shot to give your interview partner a thumbs up but
also have 4 LEDs in view to inform you about levels on each channel
being about to spike and feedback that recording has indeed started.<br>
<br>
<b>Update:</b><br>
I added some fins to make this easier to print.<br>
The difficulty level is still quite high.<br>
Feel free to suggest a more elegant design.<br>
(That does not rely on a specific kind of bicycle-handle.)<br>
