Falcon BT Shoot Brief

Two shoot days with one actor. Day A is the range: the actor puts the Falcon through the tests a shooter would actually run, with live fire. Day B is the studio: a getting-started guide from unboxing to pairing. This page is the script for the actor and the shot plan for the camera team.

Every number the actor says, and every number in on-screen text, comes from this table. Source is the official FALCON user guide (04-11-26, saved in falcon-specs/) and the live product page. Lines marked LOCKED CLAIM in the script get said as written. Everything else, the actor can put in their own words.

Range: "Seven Tests on the Line"

The format is a test run. The actor walks onto a lane and runs the Falcon through seven things a shooter cares about, each with a title card and a pass you can see or hear on camera. Every test is a self-contained 20 to 40 second clip, so one shoot cuts into a long web piece and a stack of social videos without reshooting.

Deliverables from this day

  • Web hero, 2:00 to 2:30, 16:9 (product page, YouTube)
  • 30 s and 15 s cutdowns, 16:9 and 9:16
  • 7 social shorts, one per test, 9:16, 20 to 40 s
  • "Inside the cup" audio A/B as its own 15 s short
  • B-roll and product inserts library for ads

Cast

  • Host (actor). Reads like a shooter who's done this a hundred times. Relaxed, a little dry, talks to one person. Not a hype guy, not a TV presenter.
  • Lane partner (optional, recommended). A second shooter or the RSO. Fires in the next lane and talks to the Host during shots. This is what makes Test 1 land.

Firearms needed

  • Bolt or semi-auto rifle with a standard stock (Test 2 needs the stock to meet the cup)
  • Second rifle or pistol for the lane partner
  • One generic, unbranded thick earmuff for the Test 2 comparison. Tape over any logo.
  • Thin-arm shooting glasses, shooting gloves, range bag, 2 AAA batteries
Safety runs the day, not the shot list.Licensed range with a Range Safety Officer on set who controls every hot/cold call. Only the actor and lane partner handle firearms, under the RSO. Every crew member wears eye and ear protection whenever the line is hot. No camera or crew forward of the firing line. No muzzle toward camera at any time: get muzzle angles with a long lens from off-axis behind the line. Dialogue and setups happen on a cold range unless the beat needs live fire. If a take needs a shot fired, the RSO calls it.
Never put a mic or cable inside the actor's cups.A lav wire under the cushion breaks the seal and cuts the protection. The inside-the-cup sound is recorded on a dummy head (Audio plan below), never on a person.
Paid social needs a clean alternate.Meta restricts ads that show firearms being fired. For every test, get one extra take where no gun fires on camera: hands at the bench, rifle racked or cased, shot only heard off-screen. Those become the ad-safe cuts.

Camera plan

  • A cam: 4K 16:9, 24 fps. Host coverage, medium and medium-close. 35 to 85 mm.
  • B cam: dedicated 9:16 vertical rig, same setups. Social is a primary deliverable, not a crop.
  • C cam / inserts: macro 90 to 100 mm on the product. 60 or 120 fps for brass, recoil, and the cup meeting the stock.
  • Natural light. Morning or late afternoon so the matte black has shape. Neg fill on the shade side.

Audio plan

  • Host: lav on the collar plus boom, into a 32-bit float recorder so gunshots don't clip the dialogue track.
  • Inside-the-cup rig: mannequin head on a stand at the bench, a Falcon on it with TSC at mid level, small omni mic inside one cup against the "ear." Record each shot on this rig and on an open-air reference mic at the same spot. That pair is the A/B in Test 1, and it's real audio.
  • Record 30 s of room tone per setup and the product voice prompts ("Power On," "Bluetooth Connected") clean from the dummy-head mic.

Cold open

~10 s

Lane 3. Host at the bench, Falcon on, looking downrange. Lane partner fires a rifle one lane over. We hear it full volume, then the audio cuts to the inside-the-cup recording.

Lane partner (normal voice, during the next shot)You're pulling it low and left.
Host (doesn't look over)Yeah, I heard you.
Host (to camera)That's why I wear these. Let me show you what they do out here.
Shot
Medium two-shot over the partner's shoulder, Host sharp. Hard cut to MCU of Host on "Yeah, I heard you."
Audio
Shot 1: open-air reference. Shot 2: switch to the dummy-head cup track mid-line so the partner's voice is clear over the shot.

Test 1: Can you still hear the range?

~35 s

Cold range. Host at the bench, turns the left cup toward camera.

HostThese are electronic. There's a mic on the outside of each cup.
HostQuiet stuff gets turned up, like people talking or the RO calling cease fire. When a shot goes off, it shuts that down in under two milliseconds.
Host (pressing TSC + and −)Left cup is your hearing. Plus and minus set how loud the outside is.
HostGo all the way down and it's off. Then it's just a 21 NRR passive muff.

Cut to the dummy-head A/B. Same shot, played twice.

Shot
MCU Host. Macro insert of a thumb on TSC +. Wide of the mannequin head on the bench, Falcon on, lane partner firing beyond it.
Audio
A/B: one shot on the open-air mic, the same shot on the in-cup mic. Capture the double-beep at max and at off.

Test 2: Cheek weld

~30 s

Host shoulders the rifle wearing the generic thick muff. The bottom of the cup hits the stock and the head tilts off the gun.

HostMost muffs, the bottom of the cup hits the stock and pushes your head off the gun.

Swaps to the Falcon. Shoulders again. The stock slides under the cup.

HostThe Falcon's cup is thin and the bottom is cut in. The stock goes right under it.
Host (on the gun)Head stays where it's supposed to be. (Fires.)
Shot
The money shot: tight profile, macro, the stock comb meeting the cup. Same framing for the generic muff and the Falcon so they cut side by side. Then a medium of the Host firing from behind and off-axis.
Camera
Locked off for the comparison. 120 fps on the Falcon shoulder so the cup clearing the stock reads.

Test 3: Glasses on

~25 s

Host puts on shooting glasses, then the Falcon.

HostIf you wear shooting glasses, the arms can break the seal on a lot of muffs. These have gel cushions. They squish around the arms.
Host (turning it off)Easy check: turn them off and listen. If the range goes quiet, you've got a seal.
Shot
Macro of a finger pressing the gel cushion so it visibly gives. ECU from behind the ear: glasses arm under the cushion, cushion closing around it.
Audio
Hold power 3 s on camera; capture the "Power Off" prompt.
Text

Note
Use thin-arm glasses only. The guide says thick frames break the seal.

Test 4: Between strings

~40 s

Cold range, action open, rifle on the bench. Host taps the right cup.

HostRight cup is your phone. Hold this for five seconds and it goes into pairing.

Prompt plays: "Bluetooth On... Bluetooth Pairing Mode." Host pairs on the phone: "Bluetooth Connected."

HostIt holds two devices at once, so your phone and a tablet, whatever you run at the bench.
Host (music on)Music volume tops out at 90 decibels, so you can't crank it past that.

Phone rings. Single tap answers.

HostHey. Yeah, I'm at the range. No, I can hear you fine.
Shot
MCU Host. Phone screen insert showing "ISOtunes Sport FALCON" in the Bluetooth list (real screen, not a comp). Macro of the right-cup LED alternating red and blue.
Audio
Record the caller's side on a second phone so post has a clean track.

Test 5: Gloves on

~20 s

Host pulls on shooting gloves and works both cups without looking.

HostButtons are split up by job. Left side is what's around you. Right side is your phone.
Host (TSC up, then music skip)I can find both with gloves on and never take my eyes off the target.
Shot
Over-shoulder from behind: gloved hand finds the left cup, then the right. Macro of a gloved thumb on the multi-function button.

Check
Test it with the actor's actual gloves before rolling. If it's fumbly, swap to thinner gloves or cut the glove line.

Test 6: Battery dies at the range

~30 s

Host opens the battery door on the left cup, pulls the rechargeable pack, drops in two AAAs from the range bag.

HostThe rechargeable gets you about 15 hours of music. If it dies out here, battery door's on the left cup. Two AAAs go in, and that's up to 34 hours.
Host (closing the door)And even dead, it's still a 21 NRR muff.
Shot
Top-down on the bench: pack out, AAAs in, door shut, in one continuous take. Then MCU on the last line.
Audio
Hold power 3 s after the swap and capture "Power On."
Text

Test 7: Dust and weather

~20 s

Falcon sitting on a dusty bench or berm. If it rains on the day, shoot it in the rain.

HostIt's IP56, so dust and rain don't bother it. Just don't dunk it.
Host (wiping it)When you're done, a damp rag and it's clean.
Shot
Low macro, dust kicking across the cup in a light breeze or rain beading on the shell. Hand wipe with a damp cloth.

Golden light. Host packs up, Falcon around the neck.

HostThat's the Falcon BT. Thin enough for a rifle, and I can still hear the guy in the next lane.
HostIt's on isotunes.com.
Shot
Medium wide walking off the line. End on the product hero: Falcon on the bench, macro, rack focus from brass to the ISOtunes Sport mark on the cup.

B5

Power on and off

~30 s
HostHold the power button for three seconds.

Prompt: "Power On."

HostGreen light, you're good. Flashing red means the battery's low. The outside mics come on by themselves every time, at the level you left them.
HostSame three seconds to turn it off. If you forget, it shuts itself off after four hours with no button presses.
Shot
Macro thumb on the power button with a visible 3-count. LED macro.
Audio
Prompt captured from inside the cup, laid in clean.
B6

Fit and seal check

~40 s
HostPull the cups apart, put them over your ears, then slide the band until the cushions sit flat all the way around.
HostThen check it with the power off. Everything should get a lot quieter. If it doesn't, something's in the way.
HostThick glasses frames, a hat, a balaclava, anything under the cushion breaks the seal.
Shot
A cam medium as the Host puts it on. Side profile ECU of the band sliding and the cushion sealing.

Prompts: "Bluetooth On... Bluetooth Pairing Mode." LED alternates red and blue.

HostOn your phone, open Bluetooth and pick ISOtunes Sport FALCON.

Prompt: "Bluetooth Connected."

HostThat's it. From now on, hold it three seconds to turn Bluetooth on and it reconnects by itself.
HostWant a second device? While the first one's connected, pick FALCON on the second one. It plays from one at a time, and calls jump ahead of music.
Shot
Split: macro on the button and LED, and a clean phone screen recording of the Bluetooth list. Shoot the phone screen in-camera and grab a screen recording as backup.
Note
If pairing doesn't finish in 2 minutes it says "Pairing Failed." Have the phone ready before the press.

HostCheck the cushions now and then for cracks or hard spots, and keep it in the bag when you're not using it.
Shot
Hands wiping, macro on the cushion surface, bag cinching closed.
B12

Reset and outro

~25 s
HostIf Bluetooth ever acts up, hold both volume buttons on the right cup for three seconds. That clears every paired device and you can pair again from scratch.
HostThat's everything. The full guide is on isotunes.com if you need it.

Confirm before the shoot

1. Units on set are IT-121 (US).IT-122 is the EU model: SafeMax at 82 dB and an SNR rating instead of NRR. Every number in this brief is for IT-121.
2. Does the battery ship installed?The guide lists the battery as a separate item in the box. Open one retail box and decide whether B3's first line stays.
3. Which LED shows charging.The guide puts the Status LED on the left cup but says "Bluetooth LED on the left earcup" in the charging section. Plug in a unit and look.
4. TSC volume cap.The product page says SafeMax holds TSC to 85 dB. The guide only gives 90 dB for Bluetooth. Until ISOtunes confirms 85, the script only says "music tops out at 90 decibels."
5. Battery hours on the site.The product page shows 15 hours in one block and 16 in another. Script uses the guide: 15 music on rechargeable. Worth fixing the page so the video and the page match.
6. Boom mic accessory.The sales-sheet render shows the boom mic attached, but it's sold separately. Do we have one for B10? Keep it off the Falcon in every range shot so nobody thinks it's in the box.
7. Lane partner and range booking.Second shooter yes or no, firearms list, RSO name, and whether the range allows filming during public hours.
