Pros

  • my ambient boxes work fine at two decades old
  • My Ambient was one of my first investments and it has never let me down. ... I bought the Ambient (and a proper harness!!!) after my first two shoots with a slapped together (and tiring) rig and everything was better. Still have 'em! Sho...
  • Yes, wireless TC systems such as Ambient, Betso, Zaxcom. But using UHF wireless is fine as well.
  • Ambient sell replacememt tips, but replacing one requires cutting off the old one by sawing through the carbon fiber - something you need to be very careful about and wear proper PPE.
  • If I could start all over I think I would go Ambient for TC and Slate

Cons

  • I've had plenty of problems with ambient boxes, none ever with deity.
  • And I really don't like the quarter lock on the ambient pole.

My Ambient was one of my first investments and it has never let me down. ... I bought the Ambient (and a proper harness!!!) after my first two shoots with a slapped together (and tiring) rig and everything was better. Still have 'em! Shoulders happy, back happy, sound happy.

Ambient if your budget allows it will be a great addition to your collection.

I recommend Betso (though I don't have any) or ambient.
