It's been a long time but seems like I paid less than 400 bucks for mine there. Its single. I'm about to get a dslr and will be setting it up much like this:</p> <p><img src="http://grinnerhester.com/studio.jpg" /></p> <p>that's the basic studio set up but I'm going with this duel xlr input box:</p> <p><img src="http://grinnerhester.com/handheld.jpg" /></p> <p>Pretty much spot on but with shorter cables and just one shot gun and a lav. Light, tight, all inclusive... add a lil dimmable led and I probably won't even tote a different lens when handheld. I've always liked to be mobile with everything I need on me and this little combo will let me do that as I transfer into a dslr work flow.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-wireless-dual-lavalier-microphone-to-buy#post-68282 Sat, 28 May 2011 04:24:49 +0000 jgaertner 68282@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am in the market for a new Lavalier system too with more than one mic hook up. </p> <p>I purchased an inexpensive unit on Ebay for a shoot and it worked just fine EXCEPT if you had any flourescent lights on over head! Then you got a terrible hum on the audio track. I learned a tough lesson, check your audo track before you shoot a scene. I had to do the shoot over again because I did not test before I started filming.</p> <p>It is my understanding that the UHF systems are not as sensitve to flourecent hum. There are a number of different UHF systems for sale on EBay but I have not been able to find any reviews except on Amazon.com</p> <p>JG</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-wireless-dual-lavalier-microphone-to-buy#post-68115 Thu, 19 May 2011 16:48:09 +0000 Nicholas Ferrara 68115@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am looking for the exact same thing!  I am using the M-Audio MircoTrack with an adapter right now but I need a lavalier system.</p> <p>Nick</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-wireless-dual-lavalier-microphone-to-buy#post-68107 Thu, 19 May 2011 12:21:32 +0000 Peter Santenello 68107@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Imenningen,</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you for your response.  I won't be needing a a unit with a camera mount since my audio will be separate (shooting with dslr).  Does the sound come across well?  Up to what distance?</p> <p> </p> <p>Peter</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-wireless-dual-lavalier-microphone-to-buy#post-68106 Thu, 19 May 2011 11:03:34 +0000 lmenningen 68106@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If you're looking for units with camera-mounts, I&nbsp;bought three Azden 330 series units (two have a dual-receiver) over time (about $700) and find they work great.

Hit BandHphoto.com and snag up a good shotgun mic. You'll plug that into one channel. Grab a wireless lav and plug that into the other channel. You'll clip your telent with this mic and the shotgun will be used for ambient sound. They'll lay VOs ona different track in post, along with music and sweetening.</p> <p>If you need help producing, shooting, or editing, let me know. I've worked on outdoors shows for decades and always enjoy it.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/newb-needs-serious-help-lol#post-55196 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 11:18:06 +0000 metzy05 55196@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Ok here is the deal, I just got in to high quality videography for and outdoor tv show.  Here is my problem, when it comes to audio I know nothing.  The company says I need a shotgun mic, and a wireless mic and I need to record it in dual audio or something so they can put in voice-overs when editing it.   I have a Sony hdr-fx7 can someone please help me with what I need to do/buy to achieve this or at least point me in the right direction.  Thank you.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dual-camera-tripod#post-54594 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 11:01:31 +0000 SafetyMan 54594@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Most of the lighting booths that I have been in have a large ledge where you could mount a stationary camera on a gorilla pod or a board outside of the booth (as mosth of the booths are above the audience, they should not be visible to anyone except the actors).  You can then have your second camera on a standard tripod for your closeup shots.</p> <p>Talk with the lighting crew as they may be able to get you into the cove section of the house where their front throw lights are.  If they are back far enough, this might be a good place to mount your stationary camera as well (although changing tapes will be difficult)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dual-camera-tripod#post-53870 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 22:45:49 +0000 CraftersOfLight 53870@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You didn't mention the cameras you were using...</p> <p>Have you looked at GorillaPods (something like the linked item below)?</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Joby-Gorillapod-SLR-Zoom-Flexible-Digital/dp/B002FGTWOC/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&amp;s=electronics&amp;qid=1263018678&amp;sr=8-10">http://www.amazon.com/Joby-Gorillapod-SLR-Zoom-Flexible-Digital/dp/B002FGTWOC/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&amp;s=electronics&amp;qid=1263018678&amp;sr=8-10</a></p> <p>They come in different sizes for different weights. I use a smaller one to mount my Zoom H2 to my tripod for "B" roll audio when I am out in the field shooting. you wrap it's legs around a tripod leg, or any object for that manner, and the small ball socket lets you point the supported unit where you want it. You could use this for the fixed camera and then use the tripod pan-tilt for your controlled camera.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dual-camera-tripod#post-53860 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 10:45:26 +0000 Don 53860@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>do what I do at Weddings.</p> <p>set your wide view up on a tripod, and leave it running (hard drive or tapeless camera).</p> <p>steadycam rig on the other camera.. handheld.</p> <p>synch them in post and cut from a to b cams to remove any unwanted footage off your handheld cam.</p> <p>occams razor... the simplest solution is probably the best.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dual-camera-tripod#post-53859 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 10:38:22 +0000 Don 53859@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>the trouble is you're gonna induce shake on one camera, when panning the other... but here's the easy setup (I already got the gear so no additional cost to me...)</p> <p>I heavy duty tripod.</p> <p>one peice electrical conduit pipe 1 to three feet long (paint it black for asthetics).</p> <p>3 manfrotto superclamps.</p> <p>two tripos heads.</p> <p>bolt one superclamp to your tripod quickrelease plate.</p> <p>clamp the pipe in and attach to tripod.</p> <p>place two clamps with tripod heads attached on either end of pipe.</p> <p> </p> <p>attach cameras to tripod heads.</p> <p> </p> <p>you can shoot wide with one, and use a lanc or remote controller on the other, but any panning or tilting  is gonna induce some shake for the other camera. perhaps if you are careful, it will be minimal enough to fix in post with shake removal in software.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dual-camera-tripod#post-53857 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 10:01:23 +0000 bixbronco 53857@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have seen many high school football teams do this, but I got much better results by making my own device than buying a dual tripod head. If you need to change the angles of two camcorders, the ones I have seen are too hard to adjust. I simply mounted a piece of angle iron with holes ($9 at Home Depot). After mounting my main closeup camera, I them mount a "Tristar" grip mount ($69 on Ebay) to the side of it. It is much cheaper that the Bogen grip mounts, and is more reliable. Since it raises the second camcorder's view screen over the top of the first camera, you can see both screens easily.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dual-camera-tripod#post-45816 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:06:45 +0000 BruceMol 45816@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I use a Manfroto tripod 055clb - it has the usual tree legs and the post up the middle. The top of the post has the usual quick mount shoe etc., on the bottom of the post is another place to mount a camera. I just tried it and found it a little annoying that you have to aim and angle using the legs - but if you have room for one tripod, try that (and rotate the image 180 in your software).</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dual-camera-tripod#post-45815 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 06:53:45 +0000 kmrscripts 45815@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Ken,</p> <p>Thanks for your reply.  The problem is that there is only (barely) room for one tripod in the crampted light booth.  They don't want any cameras visible to the audience so it doesn't inhibit the "atmosphere" of the live performance.</p> <p>Kevin</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dual-camera-tripod#post-45792 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:56:19 +0000 Ken 45792@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've seen something similar done for shooting football games. A wooden board, about 8 inches long, is used. It has a hole drilled through the center, and a hole drilled through near each end. The board is attached to the tripod somehow, using 1/4 -20 hardware. Then a camcorder is mounted near each end, using 1/4 - 20 bolts. The camera on the right stays wide, while the camera on the left is zoomed in on the player with the ball.</p> <p>Now, the above setup works fine for football, where both cameras are panned to follow the action. But for a stage production you might want the wide camcorder to be stationary, on its own tripod. Then have the CU camcorder being panned around on its seperate tripod. I really think the 2-tripod approach is best for you.</p> <p>Ken</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dual-camera-tripod#post-45784 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:18:38 +0000 kmrscripts 45784@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I'm working with a theatre to video their original productions (no copyright issues) in their lightbooth.  The problem is they only have a space big enough for one tripod.  I'd like to do a two-camera shoot: one full-stage and the other zooming to CUs.  I was wondering if there was a tripbod head or config somewhere that allowed two cameras to be mounted (and seperately rotated) on one tripod.  Any brainstorming would be appreciated.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/r%c3%98de-videomicstereo-videomicboompolesvm-038-boompole-bagvc1pg1xtra-9v-batts#post-44508 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 08:40:33 +0000 Pis4PIR8 44508@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> http://cgi.ebay.com/R-DE-VideoMic-Stereo-VideoMic-Boompole-sennheiser-rode_W0QQitemZ140305842019QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item140305842019&amp;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&amp;_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/amd-dual-core-vs-quad#post-37581 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:57:07 +0000 Alukahn 37581@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I'm looking to upgrade my editing PC, and have found that Newegg has a good deal on a motherboard: <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135075">ECS A780GM-A</a> and Quad Core: <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103249">AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz.</a>  If I buy both together, it only costs $45 more than it would if I configured the motherboard with a 3.2 GHZ 6400+.  I plan to edit using Vegas Movie Studio on Windows XP Home, and will use this computer as a gaming box too.  I'm wondering if it I should go for the quad or if the difference between the two cpu's will be so small that I'd be better off pocketing the difference.</p>
