QUOTE(edwardgsk @ Mar 3 2011, 09:10 PM) I use Azden XGS-25 Shotgun fitted on hotshoe/K-Tek Boom Pole with Sennheiser wireless transmitter + receiver, and use fulltime manual focus, so lens focusing sound is never an issue for me. OMG, what the hell are those stuffs you mentioned??!!! Sorry, I have no experience yet as my DSLR only yet to come. Why I said so because I asked many people and all of them said the focusing sound made them less on video with DSLR. |

QUOTE(edwardgsk @ Mar 3 2011, 09:18 PM) That's because they use autofocus while recording with their dslr without using any external mic. As I know the internal mic built in dslr would pick up the motor sound in the lens during video recording. Do you mind to explain what are those stuffs you mentioned just now? That could be great reference if I'm planning to do videography as well |

QUOTE(edwardgsk @ Mar 3 2011, 09:35 PM) Basically the Azden shotgun is an external microphone that's able to concentrate more sound recording from the direction it's head is pointing at compared to the ambient sound, which is very useful to record conversation. Where do you get these items and how much it cost actually? Very pricey?K-Tek Boom Pole is a long expandable pole stick where you can fix any mic at the edge of the pole like fishing lol. Sennheiser is the brand for the wireless sound transmitter/receiver. Fix the transmitter at the Azden shotgun microphone and the receiver on your camera hot shoe with the mic jack fitted into the mic port on the camera, you can do wireless mic set up.

QUOTE(Kent3888 @ Mar 4 2011, 01:31 PM) My unit was the faulty one, coz it's the very very first batch, first few hundred units iirc. Juz bring a focus chart or news paper to test the focus b4 u grab it lor.... now newer batch shudnt have this prob ady =D Then what happened to your unit? They fix it or replace you with a new unit? BTW, what you mean is just try focus around on newspaper and too see if it's tact sharp? Or how's the way to test? |
