Hello, I've got a friend who is a teacher and is asked now and then to record events at school. Plays and stuff. He has a Nikon D7000 and wants to do better with his audio. He asked for advice on a recorder and mic combo. He wants to mount the mic on the accessorie shoe of the camera. He's...

Hello, I'm looking for a way to monitor the levels on my DR100 mkii while booming in the field. I was going to get this... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/842646-REG/Porta_Brace_AR_DR100_AR_DR100_Case_for_Tascam.html ...but it seems it's still very hard to see the levels on the screen...

looks awesome! dolly? I love the footage. Gorgeous. What did you do for your DIY dolly? Is there a link?

Hello, Can anyone out there recommend some good film making books? Less on the business side, and more on the how to and why side. I have a small amount of DIY experience so am looking for something above the absolute beginner level. Recomendations? Thanks.

Rode Vs. AT? Do you prefer the Rode NTG-1 over the AT-875?

Can you recommend a decent setup for a boom-pole, a shock-mount, wind protection and cables? Are the Audio Technica packages offered at B&H a good start? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/551607-REG/Audio_Technica_AT_875_Shotgun_Microphone.html Also, Can't the AT897 be switched between...

Alcove, Thanks so much! That was a very helpful reply. It makes me think that shotgun mic into dr100 or dr100 mkII will be a good place for me to start. Would you say the AT875 pairs well with the dr100 (in terms of sending a strong enough signal given the dr100's preamps?) THanks again!

Hey folks, I have some questions about some sound gear I'm looking to buy. My intention is to make DSLR shorts. I have a hacked Panasonic GH1. I'm very new and looking to get started. Here are my thoughts... I was originally thinking on getting a Tascam dr100 and running a shotgun mic into...
