Very comprehensive answers way beyond what I’ve asked -thank you for that.

Few additional question if you have a time for them. As I have mention I’m in to “down and dirty” approach therefore for now I’m thinking of getting zoom h4n and wait for release of H6 (it looks pretty impressive). I’ll be hunting for second hand FP33 any good sources other then ebay for this (I’ve got a friend in US that can buy and bring it back to UK for me.

Regarding radio transmitters is buying G2 make sense (i know there is an issue regarding frequency being limed etc.) so is it still worth to consider?

As for the rest of the stuff I had no opportunity to look at as there is quite a loot of home work. But will get there.

Many thanks for your help again Brian. Looks like you are becoming a little bit of my mentor 😉

Regards,
Piotr

Hi again Brian, It’s all good. Keeping me down the earth is definitely healthy idea.

Regarding your first question I would use analogy of going out with girl on first date 😉 I’m not here for sex BUT if it would be offered… (T&C) 😉

Reality TV and Satellite News are not worth to consider for now. I think I will be mainly focusing on documentary films and so called student films. Maybe some weddings.

So I would like to come back to my original question and ask for recommendation of field mixer and recorder as first step of gearing up.

Many thanks,
Piotr

I’ve seen it on the FB channel which you are referring to. As a contrast I would like to refer you to some YT channels made by “students” that generates some ridicules view stats made at expense of ?? well not much. And as we know viewing stats must = $$ this way or another. What’s is conclusion of this?

What I know at the moment is that I want to learn about videomaking and sound recording. I’ve got my plans and ideas and hope for money to come later. I’ve been working as truck driver for last 7 years where money is quite good but I can’t stand it anymore I have to do something with passion. Would you call it the right attitude?

Hi Brian,

Many thanks for your respond. I’m sorry to hear about your experience… I don’t know much about economy but what I see is if there is a room for competition then competition will, come sooner or later. Having person who grew with experience thanks to your effort naturally should give you advantage as opposite to outsider. Unfortunately you have been dealing with someone who could be described as backstaber (if I should judge basing on your story)

I will be joining students and non budget projects however i think this is much less effective path as you learning along not from people. Having mentor seems to be fast track option.

As for argument of though financial times.. well we are talking about London here where despite all the difficulties I think there is plenty room for growth and prosperity and what is the better way to progress and develop if not by passing part of your duties to “trusted” employee/mentee etc?
