First day recordings (Oct 31th) with Stereo Primo EM272 external microphones plugged in the Sony ZV-1 camera.
Recordings like this in the ZV-1 camera needed rebalancing in Post (FCPX) of the Stereo Left/Right to -50% (shift to left). I am not sure right now after these first tests whether the camera is the problem because I used a 3.5 mm right-angle adaptor to hook up the Primo mics cable to the camera. However the Primo mics gave perfectly balanced left/right recordings in my Olympus LS-10 field recorder. Primo Water & Wind Duet | 20201102 | Michel van der Burg | 1-memo•com
Visit inside the mill in her living room with assistant miller Rita – wife of miller Johan Slingerland – showing the visiting children, the 200 year old ‘koningsspil’, or ‘koning’ – the king’s spindle or king – a tree trunk upside down in the center of the mill from the top to the bottom, as the vertical axle transferring the rotation of the sails via wheels to the water screw below. The Putmolen water mill in the Aarlanderveen polder around Alphen in Holland, filmed using an Ambeo (Sennheiser – Apogee) headset for binaural sound and the iPhone X on the dutch national mill day 2018.

‘Klap Van De Molen’ (Hit by the Mill) is a dutch saying like ‘have a screw loose’.
Actually, no kidding, such accidents happen easily – it happened once in my ancestor’s family on a mill near The Hague : the miller’s wife was lifted in the air by one of the sails…while hanging the laundry to dry – I was told years ago by my father.
Take the right door , Rita – the assistant miller and wife of miller Johan Slingerland – is explaining to the visiting children – the entrance on the opposite side of the rotating sails. The miller’s family is living here in the Putmolen water mill in the Aarlanderveen polder around Alphen in Holland.

The octagonal smock polder mill Putmolen is towering above the polder land on a kind of artificial hill in the Aarlanderveen polder around Alphen in Holland. Some therefore speak of a ‘hill mill’, in dutch : ‘beltmolen’ – with the old dutch word ‘belt’ for ‘berg’ (mountain).
