I am a semi-retired videographer/soundman who does occasional gigs. During slow periods I can rent out the gear. I purchased the Zoom F6 & Tentacle Sync in October 2021 to be up-to-date on sound recording techniques. Although I can jam timecode between the F6 & DSLR, I haven't been able to take advantage of timecode and 32-bit floating in post-production. So don't ask me about this, because I don't know. You should be familiar with the F6 and its production and post-production workflow if you want to use the timecode and 32-bit feature.
If you are in filmmaking havens such as the San Francisco Bay Area or Sacramento you must drive to Stockton. I shall consider a gasoline allowance for multi-day rental if coming from afar, as petrol prices fluctuate. There is ample parking at my home if you need to take time to assess the equipment.
