This mainly goes to people who do low low budget films. How do you record your audio? Do you use a zoom H4n? Or another recorder? Mic's?
If you do, any test footage?

Not with all of the H4n/NTG-2 problems I've been hearing about recently - low recording levels, flimsy XLR wiring, poor battery life. I really want to check out the DR-100; Tascam has a much better rep than Zoom, although I would wait a bit for the V.2 so they get the bugs worked out. What I'm really waiting for is when Tascam splits the difference between the DR-100 and the HD-P2; something to compete with the FR2-LE and the PMD-661 at the $400/$500 price point.
we pretty much went through a fresh pair of batteries (two AA) every day.
Were you using a battery in the NTG-2 for the phantom power?
