I've been editing on a small scale for a couple years now and on final cut express for about a year but next year I will be a senior in high school and will be doing an independent film course and I am probably going into film in college so I need a good camera. I will be going to italy in two weeks with a leadership group and I have been asked to make a film recording the trip and the work put into it but I need to get a good camera preferably under $1000 which I know is ridiculous but I figure y'all know what is best and can help me</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/want-to-run-two-lavalier-mics-on-one-canon-hf200#post-61192 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:15:24 +0000 Autorestomod 61192@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I realize that this topic is probably super obvious and answered elsewhere but I'm selfish and needy </p> <p>=-).</p> <p>We run (right now) a single HF 200 and have been using a shotgun mic in our how-to videos. The problem we run into is that the shotgun is great for stand ups, awful when we are looking away from the camera (we shoot how-to videos on car restoration and are thus in places that a boom is impractical. A lavalier/lapel mic seems to be the next best solution.</p> <p>With the background out of the way, how would I easily and CHEAPLY (we have yet to show a profit in our venture and money is as tight as a pair of pants on Britney Spears) get two lavaliers to work on our one HF200 (we often have two people working and are often off site with limited help: see Britney Spears above)?</p> <p> </p> <p>Jeff Ford</p> <p>Autorestomod</p> <p><a href="http://www.autorestomod.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.autorestomod.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/wireless-lavalier-mics-1#post-52116 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:55:33 +0000 rockydm92 52116@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hello all, I am new to this forum and new to video production, kinda... Anyway I am starting a wedding videography business and I have a Sony HVR A1u, and a Sony HD1000u shoulder mount.  I was wondering if you guys and gals could help me?  What are the best types of wireless lavalier mics to buy.  My budget is in the $300.00 range?  Do I need one to fit in the XLR input in my camera? or is mini stereo okay?  I bought the A1U because of the XLR. Any pointer you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!!   </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-wireless-lavalier-mic-rental-or-purchase#post-50513 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:22:19 +0000 foochuck 50513@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello Everyone,</p> <p>My wireless lavalier system was stolen last week.

Instead of a wireless mic system ($500-600) I want to try using a wired lavalier ($50) with a digital audio recorder ($100). The recorder is turned on before the ceremony and goes into the groom's pocket, and the lav on his lapel. Are there any reasons why I shouldn't do it and should rather stick to the wireless?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/good-camera-with-mic-jack#post-35453 Sat, 08 Mar 2008 13:00:14 +0000 greggomatic76 35453@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Got a quick question for you knowledgeable pros out there; I am looking for an inexpensive camera that also has a mic jack.  It will be used to produce video that will only be shown on the internet (640 x 480 resolution) and ipods.  I will be doing some interviews using a shotgun or lavalier mic and need something with a simple mic jack to record better audio.  Any ideas?  Thanks!</p>
