The Nagra is my main recorder for all jobs at the moment, DIY-adapted by me to now have a mixing surface, enabling gain and fader control for all inputs on the move, which the standard machine doesn’t permit.

The Zoom F8 is a backup and/or ancillary-rig recorder, also for use with ‘B’ cameras or smaller jobs.

The Soundfield is mainly for VR and Surround-FX recording but is also a ‘steerable’ Stereo source for Music and ambient-sound capture

The Sony UWP-D channels are comparable to the popular Sennheiser G3/4 series.

My rig is intended for use on general Documentary and Current-affairs shooting, not the ‘adventure’ genres
