DIY Ultimate Vlogging Rig: Canon ELPH 300 HS + Zoom H1

[doisneau]

does this guy use eye shadow or something?

[Gortess]

i found a flash bracket with tripod mounts on both bottom knobs. add two handles, you have a pretty nice fig rig

[ccgsales]

Great video! I bought this camera after seeing Charles Trippy's videos. I'm having issues with 1080p, though... It looks like dog vomit! Choppy, juttery, etc. I'm using Vegas Studio, and it is choppy in editing as well as general playback in Quicktime. 720 looks/plays fine, but I bought this specifically for the 1080. Do you know how to make 1080p look good on a PC? I'm guessing all the vloggers that get great results use Apple to edit. Any ideas?

[poketehnoob]

@alrhazes I know your desperate because I see all of your comments on every review,and yes I think it will I ordered mine from walmart and will have it tomorrow

[romodrummerjz]

the mic is on the top ur just holding the camera wrong and covering the mic... this video fails!

[CricketcoachGuy]

does the wind filter come when you buy the Zoom H1?

[codylebouef555]

Getting this exact setup for Christmas except instead of zoom h1 I'm getting tascam dr-40! Soo excited!!

[lamakeupgirl]

Thanks for the set up! I'm so buying all this.. Your a hottie btw. :)

[ShelterDogs]

@lamakeupgirl You should ask him out then.

[iFilmmak3r]

i want that SOOOO BAAADDD... but I cant afford it.. :(

[ShelterDogs]

@snatraps98 Has to be done post editing work. You'll need software for that. Which kind, I'm not sure. I'm on the hunt for it myself.

[msbiogenic]

What's the best setting for zoom h1? Input level, mp3, wav etc etc??? Mine kinda sounds sucky..don't know what thebest setting is

[imDcentric]

yes nba needs to return FTW

[RaijilajneN]

Wow! This is for sure something for SHAY CARL ! / Shaytards

[UltraLego98]

[Str8Ezy]

I got that same camera

[AlbanianProductions]

Is that your house Amazing!

[catlovers22]

Wow - That sounds amazing

[nlosbanos]

I was just looking at this camera at Walmart! --- Sent From tldtoday's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[hockeyman361]

could you put it on a tripod

[hockeyman361]

what camera did you film it with

[TopOfTheTech]

@hockeyman361 The 'Canon Dumbshot'

[hockeyman361]

@TopOfTheTech it is a question could you take off the handle and put it on a tripod

[RizzyWow]

@techgeek7777777 he hasn't done the winner yet just the giveaway vid

[RizzyWow]

Where the FUCK is the Mac Mini Giveaway winner video?!

[MrBfelty2]

t's cool because that camera has slow motion built in.

[sierra0278]

Good video! The mic really does sound better.

[AgnosLibertine]

nah he's not.. he just has those kind of eyes. I think they are cool.

[ApplicantQuisling]

Looks like you're wearing eyeliner since your eyelash are huge

[SkyStudioF1lms]

Wonder if anyone knew you where shooting a video on their property while on vacation

[HisyamNasir]

nice! --- Sent From tldtoday's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[TJ5096]

If that's your house we see in the back, it is sooo nice!! HOUSE TOUR LOL

[m3phisto666]

BULLS BABY!

[Macintosh247]

Got this camera just a few days ago to record family reunion footage. Like your mic setup, I'll probably go that route too!

[saundersco]

like a boss

[TechCrack]

How do you cut the background noise on H1?

[xInvincibleSIKH]

Are you high?

[FireworksTutorial]

Do you think it can handle a DSLR like a t2i?

[CreativeMotionFilm]

This is the ultimate vlogger's setup! Thanks man, i'm totally getting this camera and using this setup and will give you credit!

[TheDillaMonster]

Its like these YouTube stars are all reading my mind!! And granting my wishes!! Thank you TLD! Thank you!!!

[VandalScythe]

no more basketball?!?!?!

[aliville09]

for real JOHN i swear this lockout better end....im nothing without basketball!!!! LIKE if you think DERRICK ROSE is the best basketball player in the NBA!

[aliville09]

for real JOHN i swear this lockout better end....im nothing without basketball!!!! LIKE if you think DERRICK ROSE is the best basketball player in the NBA!

[aliville09]

are you at IFA?

[Programmer7]

Great video. Such great products and a really good setup for anyone, I'd say. Thanks for sharing!

[HowYouCJay]

Cool Cool Cool

[shaheerhere]

You have a beautiful house!

[FullCircleReviews]

Nice! I have a pistol grip for my T2i (and the Zoom H1 sits on the hotshoe mount), but the 1/4th thread on it is too tall for the camera.

[offhostproductions]

dude, ur stoned bro. i look like that too though, don't worry

[thebluecollargeek]

ShayCarl's gonna knock someones head off with that thing!

[gstrus2]

John- Please respond! Do you think I should buy the elph 300 hs or get the new one (310) but wait until oct?!

[guyaneseDJ13]

that pretty nice the only downfall is it lacks pocket portability. it would be nice if it had smaller parts or even one simple small part to attach the two together

[kill2honor]

Review the inkling :)

[collintheapplegeek]

Nice rig!

[TechTimeWithNoah]

Can you do a Tascam review?

[Everythingiphone3gs]

#HEAT!!

[chriztrax]

nice video. what are your input level settings for the zoom h1? mine is always too low...

[TheAppleManGuy]

@chriztrax I know! I want to know too! :)

[AppChat]

Haha holy moley that's epic except you may look ultra crazy while vlogging with that in public (mainly because of the added microphone I'd say) but clever lol.

[alexvandy99]

so do you use a rig to film your rig?

[TheDevasia]

Hey John could you do video on the iPhone 5's latest news?

[OrenBoder]

Thank's for this! It is an exceedingly helpful video! I was thinking of picking up the Zoom H1 for recording lectures and stuff... Do you know if it can be used as a computer microphone by using the headphone jack on the Zoom and plugging it into the line in of a MBP? =D

[ryguy10195]

thats soo sick

[pinoiscool1]

y do you always look high lol

[mWongAero]

Build in a teleprompter, and you have a DIY Cable News Show!

[lizards821]

I've been looking for the Zoom H1 hotshoe mount forever! Thanks!

[shubi454]

huge audio difference ! awesome :)

[TheGeeksDesk]

Fuck the NBA.

[DAlLYBOOTH]

awesome idea, but definitely not ideal for vloggers

[filipbrej]

do u live in chicago? or do you just support us? :)

[dannymack96]

good audio just makes a video so much better!

[mtpflyers]

Great idea bro!! I gotta disagree on the camera choice though.. I am not impressed with the Canon's.. I would suggest the slightly more expensive WAY MORE features packed Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 14.1 MP Digital Camera. 275.00 Pictures are stunning and video/audio is way better then the canon

Great video

[PianoScience]

Is that your house? I thought it was a store!

[thesavage042]

just bought this...thank u for this.

[bjbranch12]

Thumbs Up For

Basketball>Hockey

[nu22vh]

Great rig, I was expecting to see duct tape somewhere on there. Now, Tone makes his vids 20 minutes long, do you think he'll be able to hold this setup for so long?

[Omanjack]

Sell this to CTFxC

[luismacintosh]

hook shaycarl up

[livetechaustralia]

good job!

[JulzAtHome]

Dude... you look stoned as hell.... good on ya

[UltimateTechSource]

@tldtoday are you gonna send me the slider?

[KingBENN100]

huge difference

[MrBradfordSunderland]

thats sick!

[hypno159753]

top gear filter :)

[northstar15]

great rig

[DTAducttapewallets]

you need to manufacture/license this!

[EverythingISTech]

Nice rig lol. 

[hockeyman361]

what is the camera that you recorded it with and will it work with any camera

[pimpyouriphone3g]

@hockeyman361 It's the Elph 300 from Canon and yes it will work with any camera with a dedicated Screw Mount :)

[mrelclark94]

Niiiceee.

[ChichiLikesFood]

Dude, the video and audio quality is sick. I thought that you were recording with your REFLEX.

[mvakleko]

Hx9v is a lot better. Another example of over hyping by youtubers who don't really get video quality.

[ATL809]

Like if you're viewer 305 and you're from the 305!

[fudgeround21]

That's pretty cool. Great video. You remind me of my older bro when he was in high school with the long side burns and the facial hair but you're shorter. Hahaha.

[TechSmartt]

I can assure you the lock out will end at some point. They make money. Simple as that. The NFL ended and the NBA one will as well. Nice Video!

[wetbagmc]

i havent seen a youtuber do a video on Apple losing an Iphone 5?again?? whats up with that???

[ConnorCrosbyPrdctns]

I love the stabilization!!

[ForeverG5]

Jonathan, first and for most thank you for the shout out :) Second, thank you so much for this video! I never would have considered such a thing. Definitely placing my order tonight. The Zoom H1 and 300HS are the perfect combo for me! Money well spent :)

[KONGONTOWER]

F*CK THE BULLS......im sorry

[junior2oo]

Holy shit that is some smooth camera holding, great rid man.

[flipxmary]

I LOVE THIS! REALLY COOL

[opemferre]

how can you sync your audio like that?

[RusiesKroket]

only bad thing is that this thing is bigger than a DSLR so it has no point cause it isn’t small anymore. Nice test tho.

[JholiozTV]

If you press six a couple of times it sounds like he says tjena wich means like hi in swedish :D

[videogamer54]

vlogging with that thing in public is embarrassing.

[mvaubel0290]

@tldtoday Lol... rough night? :P

[V1GG3R]

How high did you raise the H1's audio level? Mine is always a bit quite..

[iSmashTech]

You should totally vlog! 

[MACmySTUFF]

Friggn awesome!

[XtutsiX]

Ooh very inventive! ^^great video!

[BelovedVictory]

GO BULLS!!!!!!!! --- Sent From tldtoday's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[rajeboo91]

you have security camsin ur house

[PureMacAttack]

Awesome Improvement. The sound is better the image stabilization is better. Thumbs Up.

[CJMcGuire24]

I hate The word "vlog" it's disgusting

[VlogginLife]

Nice man...I need that rig. I just started using the elph300 and my complaint has been audio. Guess I need to hunt for the Zoom H1 mic. 

[crazychristian28]

I think you can get better quality from the built in Canon. Just watch Charles Trippy (CTFxC) and when he first buys the camera the sound is really dull but it gets a lot crisper and warmer sound later on. Not sure if he used a special setting or what but the sound definately improves over time.

[sxyjimbo911]

you look really baked.

[linnjones]

Nice sound. But do you haft to sync the music for each clip? That seems a little to much work. Their should be a smooth connection.

[mobitureblog]

Nice rig you've got there, good to see someone doing something a little different

[JCSBTVProductions]

cool

[skidz53098]

METALLICA!!



[DJTmaq]

It sounds wayyyyy better, but it just looks so bulky.

[AppleTechHelper]

Awesome rig. As if you don't already look stupid enough holding a camera filming yourself now your holding this! lol

[SkyStudioF1lms]

So your using this camera, looks like a a slr

[creativetux]

That is great. Be a bit of a pain syncing audio for quick vlogs. But I'm liking the hand grip and the audio is a fantastic improvement. Time and effort well worth it I'd say.

[Ygglur]

Love this Combo. :D

[T4ShowVideos]

nice.

[McErnster]

cool, except it prob looks weird to see someone holding and it, and is it a pain in the ass to carry? otherwise, thats pretty cool

[ThatSnazzyiPhoneGuy]

Way sick. I love it! Wouldn't have thought of it. My next purchase is gonna be the ELPH 300 HS. Stay Snazzy, fool.

[MercherTV]

2011/2012 NBA Champion IS L.A LAKERS =)

[TalesOfWar]

This camera has pretty good image stabilisation, I'm quite impressed with it.

[applelife0800]

cool set up jonathan!

[snake193]

Awesome man!!!! thanx for sharing!

[tldtoday]

@skovkiosken Yea I know. Improving upon something is so stupid.

[trashcan1112]

[stavyros]

[AppleGuy96]

Nice!

[GeoMarineUK]

[jshaw6600]

Is the vignette effect on purpose or is it the camera?

[jbs4life]
