Shooting Live Music With the Zoom Q3HD

The Camera Store's Chris Niccolls takes a look at Zoom's cool new Q3HD. While other inexpensive compact HD camcorders offer great video but terrible sound, the Zoom Q3HD gives you HD video and pro quality audio! Chris will show you how you can use a Zoom Q3 HD and a DSLR to film interesting, multi-camera clips with great audio.

Special thanks to Adam Mudry and Chris McGeachy of Robot Worker.

did you sync the two cameras via audio clap/visual line up or some other way? Interesting video. The sound is muffled on the Zoom for some reason. Good video though. The band is great too. I'm going to check em out. thanks

@schizophonicsoundz I just did a manual sync. Just lined up the levels. The Robot Workers have a music video coming out soon from pulitzer prize winner Bill Frakes. We'll post it on this channel once it is available.

:O Is that the *original* iPhone (3:00)?!

[TheCameraStoreTV]

@roborovskihamsters Yes, legendary percussionist Adam Mudry is indeed one of the few Canadians with an original iPhone. He hacked his back when it was guaranteed to boost your social standing.

i think the 5dmII had better sound? i dont like the q3s sound

[TheCameraStoreTV]

@skatebaker321 I find the 5D II audio to be really tinny, and you can hear it peaking and breaking up constantly. I guess that's the subjective nature of sound though...

try setting the sound recording level more accurately on the q3hd...

[MRB0ND007]

i bought the Q3HD and I like it very much, the sound quality is excellent and video is OK for making a simple video recording for YouTube

[agostonberko]

why not 1080 ? 

[wwwTheBookbaggs]

Flip camera sounds better.

sorry to nit-pick but the gain options aren't actually low, medium and high. it's low, high and auto.
