Go for an Aputure Deity kit instead, not that much more expensive and much better than a NTG2. http://ironfilm.co.nz/aputure-is-shipping-their-new-microphone-aputure-deity-meant-to-be-a-competitor-to-the-sennheiser-416-like-the-rode-ntg3-is/ (I have both btw) t.bone is a house brand for the...

I just got emailed a notification that finally this is in Stock at B&H: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1340332-REG/marantz_professional_pmd_706_6_channel_dslr_recorder_recording/BI/E15 This might *maybe* just perhaps replace the Tascam DR70D as the best recorder at this price point for...

Get yourself a Shure VP83F, which is actually designed for this purpose of being an on camera mic. But has an integrated recorder! Super handy if your camera lacks a mic input, such as the GX8 (which is otherwise a great camera!)...

Was it really "just above" the actor? To me that means a few inches above their head, at most. To others that might mean six feet above!! (which is clearly wrong)

Fun fact:* Lectrosonics UM250b*are legal here in NZ, but illegal in Australia!*:-o*(because it is 250mW. Compare that to say the very popular Sennheiser G3, which is 30mW!) So yeah, I can't promise it will be illegal in your country (as it might be legal like it is for me in NZ), but hey, throw...

Have you checked out how it sounds if you send ut straight into a recorder?

There are tonnes and tonnes of camera choices out there, all depends on your budget and needs. But all these are good "low budget" indie cameras: BMPCC (or the Micro Cinema Camera, which has some improvements) / Panasonic GH5 (or the cheaper G7 or G80) / Sony PMW-F3 / Sony FS7 / Sony FS700 /...

The default choice for sound blankets is to use the same blankets as the moving blankets used by moving companies. You can get fancier ones, such as with one side white the other black (helpful so you don't interfere too much with the DoP's lighting). But fundamentally, they're basically...

I used a monopod too as a boom pole a billion years ago when I started out filmmaking. But I wouldn't recommend it when a cheapie carbon fibre boom pole from China is so dirt cheap. Then get at least a Tascam DR70D and an Aputure Deity (the kit version). Edit: oh, "one man band"? You're doing...

I strongly dislike the bulkiness of the RodeLink's TX pack. I bought a RodeLink Filmmakers Kit due to kta very cheap price as my first ever wireless. Well.... never again!!

With the benefit of hindsight, if I was to start from scratch with $7K then I would put the bulk of that money into lighting and audio gear, with only a minimal amount into camera equipment. Why? Because it takes a long time to build up your skills, & even more importantly, build up your...

Your microphones and boom pole are total utter sh*t. Don't bother throwing your money down the drain. At least get an Oktava + Aputure Deity. Don't forget wind protection as well (blimp + Rode WS6). Also get a couple of sets of secondhand Sony UWP-D11 kits for wireless (they're better than the...

Short answer: yes!! Longer answer: I'd rather use a BMD Micro Cinema Camera than a BMCC I'd rather use a Panasonic G80 than a GH4.

The D3200 is an ok ish camera, are you getting the most out of it though? With a decent little starter set of lenses and lights? Audio gear is more important too than getting another new camera body.

Get yourself a Sony RX100. Nice big juicy sensor (for a compact 1" is massive!). And its compact size means you'll vblog more often with it. Get it cheap secondhand, but the model with the flip up screen so you can do selfies. (There has been five models now) Otherwise get a mirrorless with a...

I'd probably have gone for Micro Cinema Camera instead of Pocket, because: 1080 60fps slow motion, genlock, full size HDMI, bigger default battery

Not even a close contest. The Nikon is better. The D3300 shares the same chip and processing as the Nikon D5200. And the D5200 can perform at pretty close to the Canon 5D mk3 level, while the Canon 700D falls far short. http://www.eoshd.com/2013/02/nikon-d5200-vs-canon-5d-mark-iii/...

For those looking at an alternative to the Zoom F8, I noticed that B&H has a "New Arrival", refurbished Rolland R-88 units selling at nearly half their launch price (I guess Zoom is providing some serious pricing pressure! They might even be new units, and only "refurbished" in name only?!)...
