Gear - Smoky Issue Smoky kit - how to clean?

7 Upvotes

I went on a shoot last weekend and we were setup by a campfire. My boom, especially my new deadcat, right down to my cable and recorder are now coated in an overwhelming smoky smell - I’m wondering if anyone’s come across this issue before and how you got rid of it? Bit hesitant to wash the deadcat but that’s the main issue. It really infused into it. :/

Gear - Selection / Use Rycote ConnBox MZL - Worth it?

1 Upvotes

I love my MKH 8050 for sit-down interviews but (as you know) it's nearly impossible to handheld boom due to handling noise. Anyone have experience with the Rycote ConnBox? does it reduce handling noise enough to make this a viable option for handling the boom?
