Azden is junk based on my ears.

There is a reason Azden is so inexpensive. I am not being reckless at all. A lot of folks knowledgeable about video may use Azden, but not a lot of folks...

Looks kind of cool.

I would just flip for the extra 150.00 and get the D50. It seems the mics would be better on the D50, and that's important on a portable unit (to me), but if you just plan on...

I have a Rode NT4 and I love it. It's a very sensitive mic though, and will pick up anyone talking around it. Part of the problem of recording a bigger show is just physics. The further away you get,...

Hey Heavytiger

The Azden stuff isn't that good in general. That is the tinney sound - crap quality mic. I would suggest the Sennheiser ME66/K6 or the Rode NTG-2 as far as affordable shotguns go. If...

Sony Z5U, Z7U, FX1000???

Is there any chance of getting a thread on these cameras? There isn't a lot of info out yet about these.

I have questions about syncing audio. I am thinking hard about pulling the trigger on a Z5U....

It helps if you give the exact model of your camera.

You may want to check out the Rode VideoMic for good semi-pro sound. It will greatly improve the intelligibility of voices as it is a shotgun mic...

I'd go for the Sony. It's a sweet unit. The tascam is not as cool for the same price. I have not used the Sony myself, but I am fairly sure you will be able to drop it's audio files into your video...

Hey man

So for a very good indoor hyper that's not too expensive I suggest the Rode NT3. I've talked about it a lot here, you can maybe search. I have 2 of these and use them most of the time. I...

I have a Zoom H4. It sounds great. It's not the most user friendly, but it's OK. It's not good for video. Audio files reorded in the Zoom H4 lose sync with the same audio recorded through the camera...

It doesn't matter which button you use to start recording. They have 3 buttons for your convenience. Whichever one your hand is closest to you can use.

I have to say I disagree with you about the NTG-2 having a lack of bass. I have an NTG-2 and a Sennheiser ME66/k6, and I find the NTG-2 to be more bassy. I use the ME66 for more voice clarity and the...

Well if you want to go ghetto you can get a "Giant Squid" wired lapel mic for around 25.00. They sound great apparently (I have not used them) and you can just run a long...

I've used TDK for years and never get dropouts. I'm not saying you shouldn't capture to a hard drive. I'm saying you should keep tape running too just in case there is a problem. What if there is a...

Thanks man! The old VX2100 still does the job for me, but I'd really love a Sony EX1. Still all of the TV work I do only requires SD, so the VX2100 is still very viable as a woorkhorse.

Is your camera plugged into a wall outlet?

It's usually best to run on all batteries. Some power outlets aren't grounded properly. Also if there is a ground lift switch on the DXA-4 it may...

I would always use tape. There could be a freeze with the computer and you'll lose the whole capture. Tape is cheap, and there's no reason not to use tape. That way you're not tied to the computer...

The Rode SM3 will work on the HV20 if you clip off the 2 little ends on it. The SM3 works perfectly as is on the VX2000.

The link you gave doesn't work. The Rode VideoMic comes with a shock mount built in, sh you shouldn't have to buy another shock mount for that mic.

Hi Cori

I think you should use a shock mount no matter how you attach the mic to your camera. I think the motor sound in your mic is mostly a sonic thing rather than a vibration thing, but even so...
