Juicedlink DS214 Review - DSLR FILM NOOB

http://www.dslrfilmnoob.com/ There are many new audio devices being released for DSLR film makers. One of the latest is the Juicedlink DS214. The DS214 is considered the part of Juicedlink's Value line.

At about a quarter of the price of Juicedlink's flagship model, the DT454, you can pick the DS214 up for about $144 on amazon or B&H. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/757107-REG/juicedLink_DS214_DS214_DSLR_...

As far as audio quality goes, juicedlink products are top notch. The only real complaint I have is the design. The 1/4 20 hole is in a rather awkward location, and the included audio cable is very short. I used my makerbot to build an adapter that makes the mounting a lot easier. You can find out more about that here: http://wp.me/p1jfLW-8w

Over all, I think the Juicedlink DS214 is a handy tool.

What is AGC disable anyways?

[onelonedork]

@RobotsPiratesNinjas Automatic Gain control. It adjusts the Volume level of the camera based on the signal that is coming it. If it doesn't "hear" anything AGC turns the volume all the way up and gives you horrible hiss.

I love you man. You've got some of the best reviews I've ever seen on youtube. But you've got to get rid of that end subscribe thing. Just pump out a new one real quick. Anything is better than the one you've got on there. Holy Lord. :D

[onelonedork]

@ewavemedia It's on the list.

your videos are always informative

[MeccaVideoPro]

Your audio without the Juiced Link is far better. the JL audio is very toppy and brittle sounding. Another downside to the AGC disabler is that it kills one track of audio, so you can only record with one mic, kind of defeats the purpose of a stereo input.

Dude i just had to subscribe to your channel, not because of the outro; which is funny, but because your videos are very informative and the quality is bad out of this world.

[mystickid1]

Inormative thanks. How come your audio without the juiced link sounds worse.

what did you record with before the JL?

[supercooled]

What's the point of attaching the Rhode mic and the juice box together? Isn't it redundant?

[newbiecam]

Dude, Your So Professional !!!

@illuminousguru I heard it too. I think he had toe levels too hot. I did a juicedLink review on this and it sounded fine. He maybe didn't turn down the gain on the camera after adding the JL214.

[mogulkey]

could you possibly post the design for that hot shoe mount thing? I have a makerbot and would like to try it out.

[Luk3LiveTV]

Is there anyway you can do a review of this product The XLR2-HD from studio1productions

[trackingtim]

Can I buy one of those Makerbot machined pieces off of you?
