21Feb Selecting a Wireless setup for your DSLR rig.
Selecting a wireless system is kind of like picking out an apartment, you could live anywhere, but would you want to? After trying 4 or so different wireless setups the one I settled on is the Sennheiser G2 series, because it’s rugged, preforms well, runs on AA batteries, and has a nice little cold shoe […]
19Feb Zoom H1 V.s. Zoom H4n quick head to head.
I often get questions about the quality of the built in microphone on the Zoom H1. I can safely say after running a few tests between the Zoom H4N and the zoom H1, I can barely tell the difference. The Zoom H1 is basically just the Zoom H4N without all the features and the built in microphones preform about as […]

The handy thing about Juicedlink preamps is that they provide gain. Beachtek and Studio one preamps are passive, so if you have an audio source that’s quiet there is no […]
27Jan Using a super clamp to mount your Zoom H4n on your boom pole
Super Clamps are handy little devices. You don’t have to use them with a manfrotto magic arm for them to come in handy. One Great use for them is mounting your zoom h4n. Using the stud that comes with your super clamp you can mount a threaded cold show adapter: or threading it into the […]
22Jan Better audio recording tips for DSLR filming
Recording audio can be one of the most important things you can do for your work. One of the first things I recommend for new DSLR shooters is an XLR splitter. By splitting the audio output of your microphone, you can record 2 different volume levels at the same time. This is very handy if you […]
