What do you feel is lacking in your setup?
-
Well for me, I shoot photos too sometimes, so well, I feel that a DSLR is a great hybrid for me
-
Yes, the pre-amps in a DSLR isn’t very good. But well, a dedicated video camera is going to cost a lot more than a DSLR. That’s why I went that route.
-
On a side note, I’m afraid that I’d forget to press record on the audio recorder, is there any foolproof way to prevent this?
I’ll head down to a local store soon to see what will suit me.

But won’t having XLR be not ‘future proof’ if I ever want to upgrade? And I’m not able to mic up the people as it is going to be a group sometimes say 20 people. Can’t possibly do it with a lav.

Thanks for the response. How does the H5 compare to the Dr60d mk2? And is there somewhere I can learn more about setting the gain?

Thank you for your response! However, I forgot to add, I’m afraid that I’m unable to mic up the talent so I don’t think a Lav will work for me. On a side note, what audio recorder do you recommend? I don’t have the budget for a sound devices so that’s out of the question. I’m looking at the Tascam (DR70D,DR60DII) and the Zooms (H5). I’ve also heard that Tascam recorders have extremely poor battery life (although I know they can be powered by a battery) and for the zoom side I heard that the pre amps aren’t very good.

The lights will start flickering when your shutter speed is higher than the frequency (Hz). If your region uses 60Hz, once you get past around 1/60 shutter speed you will experience flickering

I’m hesitant to get a Rode Videomic as it seems like many people encounter a lot of hiss connecting it directly to the DSLR, so I’m wondering if there are better choices out there.

Alright i’ll head there. Thanks.
