So hopefully I'll be shooting my first "real" short in a couple of months, and at the moment I'm researching gear. The plan at the moment is to get a GH1, which means I'll definitely need an external mic and recorder. So after some research here and elsewhere, I'm thinking this kind of setup would probably work (the short I'm working on only has speaking parts indoors, so luckily for now outdoor sound isn't an issue):
Rode VideoMic Booming Kit (I've heard the VideoMic mentioned over and over again, and this seems like a good setup)
Zoom H2 (it has an external mic input, as well as headphone out for monitoring, and it can record at 24-bit/96kHz)
I've got some decent noise-canceling, over-ear headphones already (husband's an audiophile).
For around $300, this seems like at least a passable setup. I'm liking the idea of the VideoMic, too, since it could be camera-mounted in a pinch.
So, does anyone else have a better idea for a setup than this that's in roughly the same price range? I'm probably going to be limited to about $400 for audio. Thanks!
