Re: What's Your Audio Setup?

What do you mean you don't get the benefit of feeding...

Re: Wedding Movie Trailer
Wow, this is amazing in terms of the way the vows were done, the content, and the creativity of some shots.

Re: What's Your Audio Setup?
Sophie, why leave the Rode at home? It's a good, reliable shotgun mic. The ME64 has served me well as a solid mic as well. They are both better than the included shotgun that came with the Sony...

Re: What's Your Audio Setup?
Thanks for this comparison. It really shows me that a wired lav feeding into a recorder will work fine. We will also have a shotgun mic (Rode NTG-1 or perhaps a cardioid Sennheiser ME64) feeding into...

Re: What's Your Audio Setup?
You mean the Sennheiser ME series mics can get the DJ, quartets, etc. well compared to the Giant Squid wired lavs? I totally would agree, but I'm just trying to capture the dialogue, vows, etc. of...

Re: Need Help Balancing a Blackbird
Hi Chris,
Of course I've checked out that page. That site is where I bought the blackbird from. I've also watched that video and the entire DVD. It does not show what to do when the right/left...

Re: Need Help Balancing a Blackbird
I was under the impression that the gimbal extender you're talking about only affects the drop time? Our drop time right is is pretty close to 2 seconds, which is what the instructional DVD called...

Re: Need Help Balancing a Blackbird
Okay, just kidding. It's not balanced again. The blackbird seems EXTREMELY sensitive. I was able to get the drop time to 2 seconds, the front/back balanced, but the right/left trim is completely off....

Re: Need Help Balancing a Blackbird
Thanks Rich! I was able to balance it finally - the LCD really helped out too. I think the issue was really the tripod adaptor plate I have which offsets the normal weight balance of the A1. It's a...

Re: What is Your Order of Action?
Thanks! I think we have a pretty comprehensive contract at 8 pages, but we're going to have a lawyer friend look it over too.
Some of the other documents/products there seem good too, though...

We just got the Giant Squid wired lav with a right-angle connector, does that work? I didn't realize that adds 1.5 inches.
This is the thing we got: Miniature Microphones and Accessories : Stereo...

Re: What's Your Audio Setup?
Exactly, we are trying to get the mics next to the speaker, which is why we believe a camera mounted shotgun will be next to useless (serve only as last resort backup). We did think to mic into the...

Thanks for your answer!
Do the Lumix lens provide continuous AF or just one-shot autofocus?
I hear that trying to touch the focus ring while on a Steadicam will throw the whole thing off...
