PTT on Camera Fiber Converter

Hello.

I've seen multiple old answers around the internet, and wanted to know how the situation is today. Is it still not possible to get/is there a workaround to get push to talk on the Camera Fiber Converter with both the focus demand and directly on the lens when using the 5-pin headset on the converter and not the 3,5 mm on the camera? When we're filming live concerts, it is especially a big pain/impossible for our handheld cam operators to reach around to flip the microphone switch.

Hopefully there is some way to help them :-)

Hey Andreas,

I purchased some Clear-Com CC-400 double muff headsets for my system and they have the unique function of allowing you to use the mic when you pull the boom down to your mouth & then will mute the mic when you push it back up out of the way. They are a little pricey but I have found they work really well in loud environments.

Link to find them on Markertek - https://www.markertek.com/product/clcm- ... n-male-xlr

Peace, Pete
