HD Video Test w/ Vado HD

I got a new HD pocket camcorder that I plan on using to record drum covers, and this is just a video testing out the quality on YouTube. Looks like a success!

*Note: This video was taken in fairly low light, just as it appears. If you're looking to buy a Vado HD, I would recommend it; in good lighting it takes very good video, so long as the camera is held relatively steady. On a tripod, it looks phenomenal for such a small lens, and for a camcorder about the size of an average cell phone.

I don't really remember...I think my dad picked it up from a music store that was going out of business or something.

I love it - it's huge!

how will you record audio with VADO?

from reading I get a sense that internal microphone doesn't have a good quality.

Is there a way to use external microphone with VADO?

thanks, good luck.

[SnareSpectre]

For such a small condenser mic, the Vado HD has decent sound quality...if a little treble-y. I record audio separately through my drum mics for the drum covers (which is pretty much all I post on YouTube), so I only use the Vado for the video.

If you're interested in the audio quality, check out my video "Dorm Room Opus." All of that was done with the Vado audio, and I thought it turned out pretty well. In this video there was a loud air conditioner, so it's not an accurate depiction of sound.

ireally like dt music, what about something from IMAGES AND WORDS? maybe take the time or metropolis...

[SnareSpectre]

I've considered Metropolis, and might end up doing it at some point...but I haven't listened to it nearly enough to know it, and it's going to take a lot of work on my part to get it good enough to record, lol. But it'll be a good challenge like Dance of Eternity was, so I might just get to work on learning it.

I appreciate the suggestion!

Your actually going to want to set the camera behind you at about shoulder height with the VGA setting it may not have as good video quality but it will have better audio quality

haha i want it sooo bad

Do you use a special program to SYNC audio and video?
