Ahh, you remember my instructional video. :)
Notice the leap to the HV20.... :) :) :)
B&H has sort of a sale, that makes it the same price as the $700 Panasonic
GS500: 900- 100 rebate - 100 gift certif.
But some of the problems are 8' ceilings (ergo no booms), and given some
occasional vigorous motion, a lapel/lavalier mic could be noisy, with
rubbing etc.
Could I mount a couple of shotguns closer to me on tripods, just out of
camera view? Mebbe velcro one or two to the ceiling?
Someone suggesting taping a lavalier to skin, instead of clothing, to reduce
noise. I imagine a wireless mic would be called for here?
Any recs?
Appreciate any advice.
