Izzy, your videos are fantastic, they're really helpful and well done. In regards to this video about microphones, are you putting the line-in to your camera and having your camera record an audio track or do you often use standalone devices? I'm thinking about purchasing something like the Handy Zoom Recorder and using that as the principal audio recorder (and, of course, following your mic recommendations)...thanks for any words, I'm just getting into video.

Could you detail your lighting set up for this video? Thanks.

@chowsir Canon FS200 is an inexpensive camera with a mic in.

Can you recommend any shotgun mics? Like which one are you using?

Even though I am a sound engineer I found this very informative as I am just getting into shooting video. Thank you!

Thanks, that was very helpful. Could you recommend some inexpensive options for cameras that take a mic-in? And how much difference is there between mini vs. pro-audio mic-in built into the camera?
