Hugely excited about the launch of the new Nova from Zaxcom. It’ll reduce the size and weight of my day to day audio rig and is full of some of the most innovative functions I’ve ever seen in a mixer this size.
Client feedback
Always good to get good feedback for your work.
Hi AJ,
I just wanted to send you a quick message to say thanks for the drone footage you shot last weekend at the Macs Farm. I've just got round to having a look at it and it's fantastic.
Hope all goes well in Spain.
Thanks again,
Stewart
