34 are various generations of Lectrosonics, plus 411 receivers for mobile applications. I primarily use Sanken COS-11 and Countryman B6. Lectrosonic IFB's for my crew and Comtek 216's for everyone else. I keep my video monitors Standard Definition so I can use a passive Ethernet video baluns, which allows me to send (and receive if needed) audio and two video images on one Ethernet cable. This requires downconverters. We have Video Assist on Barry so I send audio to that cart and take two video images from it. One cable does it all. I use a PSC PowerMax Ultra 12V distribution platform and a lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4) by biennio power, which allows me to not have to rely on the Set Electricians. All of this is built in two SKB cases held together by a Hollaender speed rail wheeled frame cart. I built the speed rail/rackmount case cart to be able to repair/replace it anywhere on location. The speed rail I use is the same found on all grip trucks. I had many other custom carts during my career but have learned that it is more important to use easily obtainable or repairable equipment, than bespoke gear. Of course, I learned this the hard way. Every minute that efficient gear allows my crew to be working on other tasks that directly benefits the sound is a minute I want saved. Video village and Ben Patrick's sound cart set up in an electric utility facility in Eagle Rock. Boom Operator Chris Diamond likes a higher perspective.
