Your best option depends on how much you want to pay. The TRamp system is a high quality all-in-one that includes all the bells and whistles but it's more expensive than other options. I've personally gotten along just fine with just a wireless mic and an Aker amp. Weigh the features you want against the prices of the different systems to decide what's best for you.

The 2.4 BT wireless mics are cheap and pretty decent but I replaced mine with a UHF mic for only slightly more. The sound is cleaner and less prone to sync issues with other mic systems.

Go wireless. Amazon has numerous options for wireless mics that only run around $30. I removed the head band from mine and velcro'd it to the inside.

I use this mic and it's great, if a bit cheaply constructed. The USB charging port on my receiver popped off the circuit board but that should be a matter of just reattaching it with some adhesive. For $30 I can't complain too much though.

I have the Ixradio dual transponder throat mic and after figuring out the sweet spot, it works almost flawlessly. I had to raise it a little higher on my neck, just below the jaw, to make it work consistently. I definitely like not having to run wires up into my bucket or deal with the mic getting pushed around.

Hi Francois,
I sent a message through the Contact Us page on the website but I've heard nothing back. Is there another way to make an order?
-
Nice! I did something similar because velcro wasn't doing it for me either. My zipper's just a bit longer going down into the bib in order to allow it to open wider.

Cool, thanks for the answers! Time in the rain ended up being fairly minimal and my jacket hood was able to cover it up outside. At least now I know I don't have to worry too much.

Not Rubies!!

This may be a silly question but I want to be sure. I just finished my TK bucket and was going to wear it to Denver Comic Con, but Denver has been getting dumped on lately and I'll be relying on public transportation and walking. Is it more or less safe to wear if it will potentially get really wet?

I used 1.25" though I had to do some trimming to get the muzzle and end cap to fit. The Doopy's kit is designed for 40mm, I believe, but either American PVC is thicker or the kit is meant to be used with metal pipe.

Hey Allan, no. Though they're definitely getting better some of us still don't think these boots are up to par. I went back to tkboots, much better boot IMO.
Edit: TKs blemish boots are A+
Are TKBoots back in production? Every time I've e-mailed them they've said they still don't like their suppliers and they don't know when more will be available.

Many people have suggested using plastic rake tines that you can find at Home Depot or Lowes. That's what I'm using on my build at the moment and I included some of the details in my build thread that could be useful.

I ordered my pipe build kit in early February and just received it today. I guess they had to cast some new molds and the cold weather was interfering so it slowed things down a bit. It would have been nice to be informed of that, though,before waiting around for a month with no word.

Haha same story here, dude. Built my own armor when I was nine with poster board and masking tape. Now I'm here to do the job right and make nine year old me proud.

These would be better. Albert, not perfect, and not cheap.
I saw those as well, but at that rate, I might as well buy from TKBoots for $20 less and not worry about modding them. My only issue with them is buying boots online without being able to try them on. I'm anywhere from size 10 to 11 US depending on the shoe manufacturer.

I found a really good deal at H&M for some Chelsea style boots, but I'm not sure if they're tall enough. The TK boots requirements only say "above ankle height" but most boots I see are at least a couple inches taller than these.

But for $34.95 I have to at least check!

I just bought some Reebok compression pants from Dick's that are pretty nice. The only problem is the Reebok logo on the left knee that I had to sharpie over.

Excellent, thank you!

I'm just getting started and looking at different makers to decide which one I want to go with, and I'm wondering just what exactly the importance of movie style is and what would be a driving factor in the decision? Are there squads or trooping events that would require being ANH or ROTJ, or is it merely a matter of personal preference?

Hello, everyone. I've been a Star Wars fan for the full quarter century that I've been alive and making costumes has been a hobby of mine since I was a wee lad. Building a full set of stormtrooper armor has been my dream since I was nine, and I think it's about time I got that knocked off my bucket list, especially with the new movie incoming. Also, joining the 501st looks like a great way to meet cool people and do fun things.
I've been perusing the Getting Started section for a few days, and it seems like either the ATA or CFO armor would be a good fit for me. I'm around 6' and 165 lbs, which I think would put me in the average size range for those builds.
I am left-handed, which may be awkward for rifle-wielding activities where uniformity is required. If that were to be an issue, would it make sense to go for a scout trooper instead? I'm actually a bit torn between building a scout or stormtrooper armor as I've always thought the scouts are wicked awesome.
Anyhow, that concludes my greetings and salutations. I'm sure I'll be pestering you all with questions soon.

The latest version of the XIAOKOA microphone is a lot nicer as it makes it more obvious which direction the actual mic input is facing. The older models just had round covers making it hard to tell whether it was facing your mouth or picking up all the noise around you.
