Does anyone have the frequencies for Stalwart Films in Senoia? Trying to listen in on the walking dead production. I've searched all over, but can't find anything.

From past experience, most Movie/TV Production companies Rent radios.

Years ago they were all found in the VHF Bands 150-174 [mostly the 173 area] in recent years they have appeared in the 450-470 Band. Most at 12.5 Khz, however just this past month we saw some using older 25 Khz channels.

Search the entire 450-470 band, even the 465-470 [typically inputs] which will be used simplex. You need to be within a block or two,as they are typical 2-5 watt portables

Good luck

Thanks for the info-I'll work at it more. I'm within 2 blocks and tried those frequency areas and also tried using the close call feature, but no luck yet. I'll keep at it. No hits on any wireless mics yet either.

I've never seen any wireless mic's on Movie/TV production sets. [YMMV] with the exception of
Talk-Shows and Newscasts.

The Movie / TV productions use hand-held boom mics over the actors.

PS - check out onlocationvacations.com [some good set/location info]

When the production crews are in our area we rent the radios out to them and they use our frequencies. We rented out all of the radios for the Dark Knight production while it was in town. Search for local radio shops and see if they are licensed.
