By: dvestore. on 18 Nov 08, 00:27:16
You might want to look at getting a BeachTek or JuicedLink XLR audio adapter for two inputs. You'll need a receiver for each transmitter. It is a 1:1 ratio unless you look at something like the Big Ole Audio Technical 1800 dual channel.

And what if I was ...
By: facundocampos. on 17 Nov 08, 23:14:14
And what if I was to say be capturing audio for more than two ppl? Most cameras even at the pro/prosumer lvl only have two xlr inputs for audio. Would I need to get a mixer and plug them in there or more up to the ew 300 G2 series? Would that make a difference or am I just confusing things?

Awesome! I'm glad ...
By: dvestore. on 07 Nov 08, 20:49:10
Awesome! I'm glad it helped. You'll need two Receivers for two actors. Each Transmitter needs it's own Receiver. We sell just the Receiver, if you need one, give me a ring 1-877-353-8077-Guy

By: facundocampos. on 07 Nov 08, 20:42:03
This tutorial actually saved my life, no lies. What I couldn't figure out was, if you have more than one actor, and you want to get them both talking at one time, how do you do that? I could only get the receiver to accept one frequency at a time. That's a problem that's really buggin me

Thanks for the video... i was able to get the units working with a lav mic, but then i tried using the plug on transmitter (skp100) with a sennheiser md42 handheld mic and got squealing sound with my voice faintly in the background.

By: cutmymoviecom. on 01 Jun 08, 04:59:25
Thanks for this video! One thing sort of left out is Pilot has to be on for both receiver and transmitter in order to work. Easy to figure out, but someone might not think of it.

By: havanesepuppies. on 17 Apr 08, 17:17:22
The advice is good. Out of the box the mic itself was clipping. We had to reduce the sensitivity on the transmitter to -30 after testing the defaults with two different talent. In the end -30 resulted in clean sound with no clipping. NOTE: it was not clipping at the camera, it was clipping in the units themselves.

By: ElvenPrinceValcore. on 22 Oct 07, 12:31:01
how do you avoid the light ring reflecting in eyes, Spectacles, belt buckles, silk etc which would end up being keyed? Do you need to drown the subject in light to remove the light rings light on the subject or can you have the flexibility to have dim moody lighting on the subject too?

It's actually cheap ...
By: dvestore. on 17 Oct 07, 22:43:55
It's actually cheap if you're shooting a lot and need to set-up fast. Most people have to waste a lot of important time lighting evenly - not to mention the cost of the light, the heat, the electricity. Then theres the savings in post production with a perfect key to work with.

I would say go with the Videomic and not the stereo mic. If you're going to shoot films, you're going to want your vocal tracks in mono, this is the standard. Then what you can do, with your camcorders on board mic you can record ambient sounds and mix them in your video editor.

By: dvestore. on 10 Mar 08, 21:53:28
I'd see if you could tap into the sound board. Since the DVX has XLR input, I'd probably look at a RODE M3. It's big to put on the camera, but for $200, it would work nicely, on a stand would be better. Do a search on our site for M3 and use the coupon code "take5" for a discount.

By: dvestore. on 04 Mar 08, 16:13:32
It depends on if you're shooting indoors or outdoors and what camera you are using. RODE SVM works good indoors and outdoors if your camera only has 1/8" miniplug input. The XLR based NTG-2 works best outdoors and you may need a BeachTek XLR adapter. The RODE NT3 hypercardiod works better indoors if your camera has XLR.

By: raumil29. on 19 Feb 08, 06:19:59
You could shoot without a filter and create a soft effect in post, but you can't ever really get the same effect, render times will be very long, and you'll be spending time in post tweaking your effect rather than being creative with your edit. That's why, unless we really want a videoy look, we always shoot with diffusion.

By: vaughanweather. on 08 Oct 07, 02:01:10
The filters are nice but all the soft fx filters take away from the models eyes by reducing the sharpness, these filters are not very effective either with a standard camcorder lens and work far better with a 20 to 35mm adapter. The center spot filter is by far the most useful and has the greatest effect. Like the other poster said, much of this can be in post production with ease.

By: dvestore. on 15 Mar 08, 17:26:21
No. Shotguns are more durable for outdoor use, and some can even handle humid conditions as well as a drop from a few feet. Hyper cardioids tend to be more sensitive and are not meant for rough abuse. Shotguns have an interference tube design which rejects mid-high frequencies from the side. The capsule on shotguns is generally at the bottom of the tube, rather than exposed at the top, thus protecting the capsule.
