    Great info Michael. Congrats on 5k subs. I just started self filming this year and while I haven't gotten anything yet, I'm learning something new every time I film i.e. camera angles, knowing my camera settings, lighting, audio, b role, and trying to stay stealthy while making adjustments to the camera. Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas everyone.

      They are very similar. @wnyprepper may be able to elaborate more, since he has used both, but there don’t seem to be any appreciable differences in specs. I bought a second 870 (used) for my daughters to use.
      Check B&H website for detailed specs for each.

    Great feet hitting 5000! I just started getting into videoing my hunts seriously in the last year or so. I've been using a go pro, or my phone starting out. This year I'm feeling more confident in my videos and would like to upgrade to a better setup. Your video here has helped alot! With that being said, I'm still debating between the DSLR or this cam corder? I'd really want to do photos to so idk?? Anyway if you could give my channel a look and give me some guidance that would be awsome! " THE PUBLICS EYE OUTDOORS " Thanks for the help!

  • @NetvoTV
    @NetvoTV 8 місяців тому

    In that case, is the X1500/X2000/CX10 worth it for all the manual options but bulkier build if you just use for document your life, zoom in for further details and UA-cam since some say the auto is good enough? The build in ND is nice tho, are those midrange with a bit of manual better? But 4K 60fps only on these models, the full HD model can zoom further tho but there is tele, ultrawide and macro adaptor for these models. Will there be successors to these models in the coming CES 2024? Yeah I have a UA-cam channel, NETVO TV!

    • @MichaelMiddletonTBH
      @MichaelMiddletonTBH  3 роки тому +1

      Hey Jay! There are several small LCD panel lights for under $100 that work well. I have an Aputure Amaran M9 that I've used for many years. Aputure also has an Amaran MC- RGB version that is great.

    • @JSlotOutdoors
      @JSlotOutdoors 3 роки тому

      Thank you. I found it on Amazon. What do you use to have both the light & external mic mounted on top of the video camera at same time?

    • @MichaelMiddletonTBH
      @MichaelMiddletonTBH  3 роки тому +1

      J Slot I typically run the mic on the camera shoe and find a place off camera to mount the light. The MC has a built in magnet, but I stuck a magnet on my M9 and have mounted it to a feeder leg, pickup bumper, etc. A small tripod or Dinkum Action Pod also works for off camera mounting. You could also buy an adapter that has two cold shoe mounts. www.amazon.com/dp/B01838HQ02/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_btf_t1_PbKuFbTH43NAF

    If you were to shoot a firearm from a ground blind or Treestand, would the shot damage the internal microphone or an external microphone?

    • @MichaelMiddletonTBH
      @MichaelMiddletonTBH  3 роки тому +1

      I don't think so. The audio file will clip, but it shouldn't cause damage to the mic. I did a quick google search which seems to verify this, as well.

    • @MichaelMiddletonTBH
      @MichaelMiddletonTBH  3 роки тому

      Not for this camera, as it's not an interchangeable lens camera. With a DSLR or mirrorless, you can buy "faster" lenses with wide aperture that will perform better in low light.

    I am 19, I've been hunting since I was maybe 10 or 11 and I after an awesome hunting experience last year, with my biggest buck, I am really interested in started to film my hunts and self film those experiences. I don't have a goPro or Panasonic, I have a tight budget and am highly interested in getting a first cam, maybe one like the Panasonic and a gopro like camera.

    • @MichaelMiddletonTBH
      @MichaelMiddletonTBH  3 роки тому

      Hey Tristan! That's great! Don't be afraid to start "small" and work up as your budget allows. Also, I wouldn't hesitate to look at the used market, as long as you can either take a look at the camera or have a return option if it's not as advertised. You can probably get a suitable camera for a couple hundred dollars. There are a number of "cheap" action cams that will work. Again, maybe even see if you can pick up a used Hero 6, 7 or even 8 on the cheap. Keep me posted on your progress! Good luck!
