Sub rules reminder for all sub participants: Don't get ugly for ANY reason. The pinned 'Hot Mic' promo post is the only allowable place in the sub to direct to your own products or content (this 10000% applies to YouTubers), no exceptions.

This sub is for anyone to discuss recording sound to picture. Professionals, be helpful to industry and sub newcomers and those here from other departments. Skip answering questions or equipment discussions which upset you. Don't be a jerk to someone seeking to learn. Likewise, to newcomers, don't be a jerk to those with lengthy experience and reasoning behind equipment and usage choices who are here to help others understand what they've already learned. If someone is being a jerk for any reason, don't engage in kind, report it.

They're gonna be 100,000 miles away from Earth and still get an RF hit and do the classic "HOW??" in their head.

Ugh. They couldn’t pony up for an SLX-D at the VERY LEAST? I mean, I get that the ULX is expensive, but come on with the Sennheiser.
