I was using the Canon LP_E6P battery but it’s quite possible that I needed to update the firmware. I’m glad they found a solution, thanks for letting me know!

@@MeridianMedia Apparently the R5C now gets longer recording time than the R5ll with the LP_E6P. The latest firmware facilities 60P 8k raw in conjunction with the new battery.

Haha honestly it's a pretty subtle difference so it's hard to hear in headphones too! But I promise there is a difference! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

The goal of this video is to prepare people for the most common questions on the Part 107 test, not to showcase the hardest ones. If you’re looking for tougher concepts, I cover those in my other videos.

Awesome! Glad you found it helpful!

Ah that's a good idea! Maybe we'll add that to our list of videos to make this year!

You're welcome, best of luck on the test!

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks so much for the kind words! Do you do video production as well?

@@MeridianMedia yea i actually upgraded some equipment and your sennheiser mke 600 introduction helped me a lot. "the pocket" tip for sure gonna help me :)

@@feelsgoodkoi4185 Awesome! Best of luck on your filmmaking journey in 2025!

Sounds good! We've got more R6 MII videos planned for 2025!

Haha yeah me too! Audition is fine for most audio editing, but I do think iZotope has the edge if you ever need to do some advanced noise reduction/processing. Which hopefully doesn't happen frequently but it's almost inevitable in this field that we'll eventually be stuck working with some truly awful audio.

You’ve got this! Best of luck with your exam!

@MeridianMedia Thank you!

Yes, you can connect the Tascam Portacapture X8 directly to a wall socket using a USB-C cable and a standard USB power adapter (like those used for charging phones). Just make sure the adapter provides at least 5V/1.5A (or 7.5W) of power. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Yes they will work but with bad quality and low volume

I wouldn’t get the 250. Ohms if ur not planning to spend another 100 on a amp

@@moseylime5527 No. I will be purchasing an interface

@ZRXYK1 then yes they sound amazing with a interface.

@@moseylime5527 People have said there was a warning about the headphones saying they can give u a disese or smth

Great observation! You’re absolutely correct that runway numbers correspond to the magnetic heading of the direction you’re facing when taking off or landing. This means Runway 18 (180°) faces south, but the number '18' is marked at the north end of the physical runway. I focused on simplifying this for test takers by matching headings with runway directions, but I see how visualizing the compass rose and runway layout side-by-side might cause confusion. Thanks for pointing that out-I'll keep that in mind for future videos to make this even clearer!

Thank you! We are planning on releasing a few videos on audio processing soon!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

When I’m shooting with both cameras, I usually use C-Log3 on the C70 to make matching with the R6 Mark II easier. I’ve paired C-Log2 with C-Log3 before, and while you can get them looking very similar with some work, it’s not worth the extra time if you can avoid it. The biggest difference I’ve noticed (aside from dynamic range) is that C-Log3 tends to look a bit more contrasty after applying the conversion LUT.

Thank you! Cheers!

You’re absolutely right! To be honest, I didn’t realize this was possible, so thanks for bringing it up! That said, I personally don’t see many situations where I’d use it. The need for an external recorder adds to the cost, and the file sizes and workflow with RAW are overkill for most of my projects. But it’s definitely a nice option for those who need that level of flexibility and quality in post. Appreciate the insight!

Hi Mark, great question! If you’re primarily streaming on KZbin, the C70 might be overkill. Many of its advanced features-like RAW recording or C-Log 2-aren’t really applicable for streaming since those settings are designed for high-end post-production workflows, not live or compressed video. That said, the C70 has several advantages over the R6 Mark II, especially for professional video work. It comes with built-in ND filters, 4K at 120fps, the ability to record in C-Log 2 (offering greater dynamic range), mini XLR inputs for professional audio, and even RAW recording. It’s definitely a powerhouse, but it’s also more of a specialized video tool. The crop on the C70 is definitely something to consider, but I personally use it with the 0.71x speedbooster, which adapts EF lenses to the RF mount. The speedbooster not only brings the angle of view closer to full-frame but also adds a stop of aperture, which is great for low light or shallow depth of field. However, you’d need an EF lens to take advantage of that setup. If you’re doing a lot of hybrid work or want a lighter and more versatile setup, the R6 Mark II might be a better fit. It’s a great all-around camera, especially if you already have the RF 15-35mm lens. Ultimately, I’d say if you’re leaning more into high-end video production, the C70 is worth the investment. But for KZbin streaming and hybrid work, the R6 Mark II is a fantastic choice. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask more questions if you have them!

@ thank you my friend! I am taking the plunge into the c70 and hoping for the best! I was also considering the r5c as a streaming camera instead of the r6 m2 thoughts?

@@TheBeatSeat Thanks, Mark, and congrats on the C70-great choice! As for the R5C, I haven’t used it personally, but on paper, it looks like a fantastic camera. If you go for it, I’d love to hear how it works out for you!

Here you go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3jSZmWlg72Wr9U

Thanks for watching!

@@MeridianMedia absolutely! Do you have any experience using R5C?

@@cosmonaut1961 Not yet, but I hope to try it out soon! How about you? The specs look amazing.

@@MeridianMedia ​ Neither am I 😅

Hi! Thank you for the thoughtful comment, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! To answer your question, yes, you can connect the Sennheiser MKE 600 to a DSLR camera via an external recorder like the Zoom H4 or a Tascam. However, I personally tend to record audio separately on the external recorder and sync it in post. Here's why: Modern recorders often support 32-bit float recording, which gives you incredible dynamic range and eliminates worries about clipping. Most cameras can’t record audio at this quality, so by keeping the audio on the recorder and syncing later, you’re getting the best possible audio quality. As for syncing in Premiere Pro, while it’s not automatic, the process is very straightforward. You simply select the video and audio clips, right-click, and choose “Synchronize.” It’s quick and easy-just a click of a button. Let me know if you'd like a video covering this workflow or tips for syncing external audio. Thanks again for watching, and I appreciate your support!

@@MeridianMedia Hello. That answers a lot of my questions. Thanks for the excellent response. Yes, a video covering this workflow would be great, and would add a lot of value to other viewers. Is this process straight forward in other editing software, such as Clipchamp for Final Cut pro? Thank you again for taking time to respond. It really helped me out a lot.

@@harry087 You’re very welcome-I’m so glad the response was helpful! I’ve never used Clipchamp, so I can’t speak to how syncing works there, but I can tell you that syncing in Final Cut Pro is very straightforward. Final Cut Pro has a built-in synchronize clips feature that works similarly to Premiere Pro. You select your video and audio clips, right-click, and choose “Synchronize Clips.” It does a great job of aligning audio and video quickly. I’ll definitely consider making a video on this workflow-thanks for the suggestion! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. 😊

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I hope to inspire you to visit Pittsburgh someday!

You're welcome-glad you found the tips helpful! You’re right, Render and Replace has its quirks, and unfortunately, I don’t believe speed ramps are preserved when using this feature. Speed ramps are typically tied to the clip’s time remapping settings, which don’t carry over during Render and Replace because the replaced clip essentially becomes a new flattened file.

Thanks for watching!

The Part 107 exam consists of 60 multiple-choice questions, and while I cover some of the most common topics in the video, there are definitely other questions you might encounter. The FAA's Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement is a great resource to review for the full scope of potential topics. Good luck!

Great question! For your first time taking the Part 107 exam, you’ll need to schedule and take it at an FAA-approved testing center. You can’t take it directly with the FAA online for the initial test. Hope that helps, and good luck on your exam!

Thanks for the feedback! That’s a great point, and it’s a helpful idea for a future video. I’ll look into covering things like cable lengths, connections, and settings for setting up microphones directly with cameras. Stay tuned!

@@MeridianMedia Hi, I am trying to record my audio using mke600 with id4 audient in Audacity software on a windows laptop. I am really confused with input settings which I must select id4 analogue 1/2 or id4 loop-back 1/2. I used to record in analogue 1/2 in Stero but I got only left-side audio. I am a very beginner in audio so pls help.

@@anusuyav Hi! Great question, and I'm happy to help. For the Sennheiser MKE600 connected to your ID4 interface, you’ll want to use the analogue 1/2 input, as that’s the direct input for your microphone. However, the reason you're getting audio only on the left side is that you're likely recording a mono source (the mic) into a stereo track. Here’s what you can do: In Audacity, when setting up your track, choose mono recording instead of stereo. This ensures the signal from your mic gets centered in the mix. If you've already recorded a track in stereo and it's only on the left side, you can fix it by splitting the stereo track into two mono tracks (click the drop-down arrow next to the track name in Audacity) and deleting the empty right-side track. The loop-back option is for recording audio being played on your computer, like a system sound or music. Stick with analogue 1/2 for your mic. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions. 😊

@@MeridianMedia thankyou so much . This cleared my query.

@ thank you it worked !

Great question! When you slide the Tascam DR-10L Pro directly to the 'Record' position from an off state, it starts recording within about 1-2 seconds. This is faster than the previous method I used, which involved sliding to 'On' first and holding for a few seconds before switching to 'Record,' taking about 4-5 seconds in total. It may not seem like a huge difference, but in situations where you need to start rolling immediately, those few seconds can make a real impact. I’ve been in that situation myself!

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!

Congrats on passing! I'm glad the videos helped.

Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful!
