    Thank you sooooo much. Yes! I made the mistake of buying a shotgun mic right off the bat and it created issues when I was shooting a sizzle reel for a script I wrote. I am now going through the same process and started digging around online. That's when I discovered your channel! Thank you so much again! I'm obviously close. I now have a Sennheiser shotgun and digital recorder. The Lavs are what I was missing.... and the wireless DJI. This video has got me amped up and helped me realize that I am not going to have the problems created on my first run. I have the ideas, now I have know what I need! Again! Thank you so much!

Add Covid-19 and pneumonia with a record 120 stay in the Queens Theatre, Romford a 5 week coma and a 3 week coma that left me with a black hole of a memory that makes 1986 to now a walk in the park and YOUR stories had me smiling largely.
    All my gear is Nikon.Treated room. Wacom 5 Medium Tablet. I will be signing up to learn it all, again. Photography and Videography makes the heart sing.It’s been a while I learn I have the fun the fun of physio to learn to walk again. Covid was a BiT±H. Now I have a light at the end of the tunnel.

    As a professional sound mixer/recordist for the past 30 years, I had to watch your video. And, for the most part, you got a lot of it correct. There are a few nuisances that I could argue, but for the beginner who thinks audio is a mystery, your video works.
    I recently bought myself a Canon R7 for a video project that I will be shooting (you don't spend 30 years working in video production and not learn a few things from the other departments). So when it came time to outfit the camera with an audio kit, I only pulled a couple things from my Sound Devices/Lectrosonics/Sanken/Schoeps/Sennheiser based pro kit. That stuff is all amazing and top of the line, very expensive audio recording gear. It has been developed for use in my audio bag and a majority of it is either too big to be used around the small camera kit I was putting together or it couldn't be powered by the camera without adding all sorts of extra parts. Yeah, I could have adapted either my Schoeps CMC6/41 or even my Sanken CS-1e boom mics to be on top of the camera, but there are several cheaper, smaller and lighter options. The one I chose to go with is the Rode VideoMic NTG. Its based off of the broadcast line of Rode NTG mics, but in a smaller format with internal power. I was hoping that Rode had built into this mic some of the same quality that they have put into their bigger NTG line up of mics. And I was very pleasantly surprised with the overall quality of this small shotgun mic. It also has the more directional polar pattern that I was looking for. Many of these mics that "look" like a shotgun mic are in fact stereo mics. And that's not what I was looking for, I wanted a mic that had a bit more reach. The Rode VideoMic NTG is a bit more expensive that the other Rode options at $249, but I think its the best in this class of mics.
    I'm pairing that with the Rode VideoMic GO II as a wireless system. They are an excellent small and relatively cheap wireless system. Just add in a couple lav mics taken from my Sennheiser G3 and G4 kits and they are good to go. The sound they produce is shockingly good. I 'm not gonna replace my Lectrosonics systems with them, but they offer something that those $5000 systems cant offer, a very small size and almost zero weight penalty.
    And then my deep backup with be a Tentacle Sync Track E recorder. Its a super small and very simple audio recorder that you can feed time code to so that it will be sync'd to a camera or other recorder. There are no external buttons on the small case other than the on/off button. There is not setting the levels of the recorder either as it uses the 32bit floating point format. Take a look at these recorders, amazing systems for when you're out of reach of a regular wireless system or can't bring the whole audio bag. the problem is, they are not cheap. At about $460 for a single unit, they aren't on a lot of non-professional's lists. But compared to a Lectrosonics PDR, they suddenly seem very reasonable. Take look at them on Amazon. They are German made. And from a really great company.

      The controversy remains - when a budding police state routinely arrests photographers and photojournalists alike for recording in public. The courts have a strong consensus with the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit that "held that a private citizen has the right to record video and audio of [officials] carrying out their duties in a public place, and that the arrest of the citizen for a wiretapping violation violated his First and Fourth Amendment rights". Glik v. Cunniffe, 655 F.3d 78 (1st Cir. 2011).
      As a photojournalist the mic flag (or logo cube) just might save you a busted head or worse. Many of my 'independent' journalist associates can attest to spending a night or two in torture cuffs from malicious prosecution - only to have all charges dropped for lack of standing. Supporting a often abused cop idiom, "You may beat the rap, but not the rid". Many journalists reporting it can take several months or even years to get recording equipment back from unlawful arrests and illegal detainment. Chilling of free press and free speech has unfortunately become common everyday interactions with police.
