recording sound with Canon 60D
looking to add a good quality sound to my short video clips. anyone have experience with mic set ups for shooting with the 60D? i know there are alot of expensive options but this thread is specifically asking about mics under $100. looking at them at Samy's now... https://www.samys.com/c/Microphones/sor … 2/247.html Oct 08 12 11:30 am Link On that list, I've used this: https://www.samys.com/p/Microphones/ATR … 098FB2F0F5 And its quite good as far as direct recording goes, and pretty small and unobtrusive. Oct 08 12 11:44 am Link btw: does the 60D have XLR inputs? or 3.5 mini jack? Oct 08 12 10:49 pm Link Tricia Oaks wrote: 3.5 Oct 08 12 10:51 pm Link Tricia Oaks wrote: Acceptable. Maybe. Good? Not. Oct 08 12 11:03 pm Link so, i've heard good about the Zoom H1 but want to avoid the extra post-production hassle. i've narrowed it to these two... http://www.amazon.com/Azden-High-perfor … B000GE403I http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-PR … +canon+60d which one should i get? or is the Zoom H1 so superior in quality that i should just do the extra editing work and get it? Oct 08 12 11:58 pm Link ended up just ordering this one... http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT … 03_03_t_lh i chose that based on ... Frequency Response: 70 - 18,000 Hz - seems like a wider range than the other one. Oct 09 12 01:01 am Link Downloading the Magic Lantern firmware will give you added audio control in-camera as well. Oct 09 12 01:42 am Link http://www.amazon.com/Rode-VideoMic-Pis … =rodes+mic I use this one on my 7D when I do video work , Works fantastic inside and decent outside. Its directional so it picks up 70% in front of whatever its pointed at and has a hi pass on it as well. Invest in Audio its the single best thing you can do for any video work... If you need any advice please feel free to Message me. I have an H1 from zoom as well , but its not the same... Oct 09 12 08:44 pm Link This is probably a dumb question but where do i turn off/on the on-camera auto flash? Oct 21 12 05:47 am Link The problem with DSLR audio is that it's always going to be from the camera vantage point unless you're working with (a) wireless, or (b) a sound op with a boom. Once you're more than a few feet away from the subject you'll hear as much room noise as you will sound, and more often than not AGC will boost that in quiet stretches, producing an unpleasant "breathing" quality to your sound. Even a very high quality microphone (I do have a Sennheiser 416 on a boom) will not produce good sound if you're too far away. And a directional mic on the camera will also pick up audio from behind your subject. This can be a real killer outdoors. I'd also suggest investing in a decent pair of headphones. By "decent" I mean significantly above MP3 player earbud quality. Oct 21 12 08:27 am Link Tricia Oaks wrote: There is no flash in video mode. Flash is automatic in Green Button/Full Auto and P program. Using M/Av/Tv turns off the automatic flash. Oct 21 12 08:40 am Link I am a recording engineer. there are not many mikes that get good sound for $100 and less. My recommendation is a stereo shotgun, or stereo hyper cardioid microphone that has a preamp inside it (battery operated) 20-20k hertz with the flattest tone curve possible with the lowest signal to noise ratio. www.SungoddessStudios.com and by the way I recorded the music on this site.

A $50 value and made in USA by authentic California Hippies. Oct 21 12 09:03 am Link -JAY- wrote: Love my DR-100. Just wish they had an external charger for the LiIon battery so I didn't have to do it inside the unit itself. Dual battery slots is nice, but you only get about 10-15 minutes on a pair of AA batteries with 2 mics pulling phantom power.

Oct 24 12 08:48 am Link RULE OF THUMB No DSLRS have good recording sound or audio metering capabilities with an external mic You'll always get great sound by recording separate audio on something such as a Zoom H2 mic any syncing it in post Oct 24 12 08:50 am Link Matthew Braney wrote: Rule number 2 the Zoom is the worst of the small recorders out there. Oct 24 12 01:46 pm Link I shoot video for my primary business. I used to use the H4n until it bit me in the arse and ate it's batteries in about 10 min. Fresh batteries! If you go that route (dual system), get plural eyes for your NLE. Works perfectly and I've had it sync a 4 hour shoot with no issues. I have switched to using a Beachtek unit which has XLR in, proper level feed to the camera, meters, compressor/limiter and a headphone out with a return feed from the camera. I use this with a 5D mk3 and it sounds wonderful. Makes life SO much easier. a single 9V lasts an entire day of shooting with phantom power. Juiced Link makes similar units. As for mics, Check out Studio Projects. Several options reasonably priced. I have a pair of small condensers that came with interchangeable heads that was very inexpensive. Not as nice as my Rode NTG3 but certainly useable. Oct 25 12 07:31 am Link |
