Great video Marcus - thanks for being thorough in your explanation. I was trying to understand this for an FX30 I just purchased where I'm looking for a continuous source of power for my use case (seems to be similar to yours - talking head videos in studio, so I can be plugged in most of the time) and your video helps a lot. Let me know if you recommend any particular USBC cables for this (long and high quality) - I'm thinking of getting a right angle usbc cable as well so it sits snug on the side of the camera - any thoughts on those in general?

cool setup! may I know if you've had a chance to try the leofoto mt-03?

Glad I caught this video. I was in the process of searching for dummy batteries I’m not gonna go that route with this new information.

When creating an aggregate, it only sees one of the USB microphones. They are the same exact make/model of microphone. Ugh.

I have been trying to figure out the features on this for years, thank you!!

13:09 was it supposed to show the NPF battery life on the camera before the firmware update? also i heard from several powering thru USB C port makes camera overheat more than a dummy battery, is that true what does your experience say

Thank Marcus for this video. As of today December 19th, 2024, this is the most COMPREHENSIVE review Arca Swiss plates and quick releases. You review all the brands like Peak Design, Ulanzi, etc. You also DEMONSTRATE their disadvantages. The BEST!

very helpful tks

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on recording setups and software. I currently record with a Sony A74 DSLR and a USB mic connected to my laptop. I use QuickTime and OBS, but I often run into issues syncing the audio and video. Do you have any suggestions for better software that could make this process easier? Recording directly into the camera is another option, but dealing with the huge file sizes afterward can be challenging. What software or workflows do you use for recording? I’d really appreciate any tips or recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Too much talk..just get on with it

I ordered mine without a Bowens mount. Sadly came in today and I have to order a bowens mount to make it work 😢

Got mine yesterday - Apparently it also works with EA1 combo without any vignetting. My combo A7ii+EA1+70-300mm SSM. AF works fine, but I don't know about the speed, I don't have any EA3 to compare.

Are you nuts?

I feel like the panasonic is warmer than the FX30, or is it just the editing ? Been contemplating on the FX30 to start wedding videography & I’m going for the warm tone vibes

Very thorough investigation

Amazing video! Thank you for going into such detail about the audio quality! It means a lot.

DOES THIS WORK FOR SONY A74 ?

Came for the Submix...stayed for the Tild Key! Thanks

very very helpful thank you 🍺🍺

1) I would would like to understand what the disadvantages would be if I mount this mic directly to the camera and use this setup as a webcam/mic combo for zoom calls. 2) Would it be ok to use this mic with a mini tripod sitting on my desk below my screen? (same use case here = zoom calls)

overcomplicating

Easier to just get a atomos hdmi to sdi with build in battery… it’s a one of a kind 12yr old product look it up

thank you for the video ! i have a question : i have the FX3 you say the camera need 9V/3A but the NPF battery is 7.4 V will it work ? i'm not an electrician ^^ ( i just ordered the TOPRIG version not the smallrig ) i hope it works i need some extra juice on camera with my gimbal ! thank you for your help , mark

This video has saved me in so many ways. It was so good I bookmarked it into to several folders. I was so stressed out about what I would need to make this mic work, so much so that I was going to give up and just sell my mic. Thanks man✌️

How bout ver 4 on a7iv does smallrig battery works?

Thank you, will try it! I have question, maybe i had still this hissing sound, because i put my 3.5 from camera microphone direct to scarlet headphone hole. But i need to buy wire for R and L output right?

I love to wear structured hats like gamblers and fedoras, but I also wear Audiotechnica closed back headphones when I'm on my computer, whether in a meeting, editing audio, or browsing the web. It's been a habit of mine for a very long time, and I hate the feeling of earbuds inside my ears. I used to have one of those creative headsets where the ear pads had clips on top so they clipped onto your ears, while the band rested behind your head. It also had a tiny adjustable mic that rested close to your left cheek. The trade-off with something like this is that it won't sound as good, and often bleeds sound out. It would be cool if there were designs like this in the pro audio world, where the band was at the back and the cups were horizontal, rather than vertical. However, I always wear wired headphones, and I don't mind the look of the cable as it's part of the territory. I would rather have that cable visible than constantly be checking the battery level on a pair of wireless headphones. So, while I can certainly dress up the look with a nice blazer, the hat is currently a non-factor. The brim sticks out too far, and the band on the headphones would be plopped on top of the crown, which fits like a square peg in a round hole. I also never took into account different hair styles, which could definitely add another dimension to the style of headphone one wears. I keep my hair in a crew cut, so I'm fortunate in that aspect. Although it might end up looking like a fake Mohawk, when the band creates a ridge down the middle of my hair. But, doesn't bother me.

Hello, Can i record program and clean Camera 2 at the same time using 2 solid disk?

Hi, how effective would be 3m peltor+ anc in ear pods vs nover ear headphones blocking noise for making peacefully calls in my house right next to a building construction?? Any other idea? Thanks!

Hi! So practical video ! What wired(with or without Bluetooth)headphone model and combination would you recommend for video callings on noisy environment next to a building construction? I saw your Sony daily headphone. ¿Would a ANC headphone make a difference? Would make a difference a 200uss vs 100usd headphone for that use?And, adding to it a hifi detachable mic like Antlion modmic can help ? Thanks!

Love how that we can use the Movo mic as a streaming mic. Does any one else have the problem of it not capturing as much sound? I have the Ugreen plugged and the sound test level at 100% but its only picking up about 13%. The mic sits no more than 2 feet from my face.

Almost found something to be used with the XL. XL is 3.1cm at the largest depth. "TA-UPBH-B powerbank holder" can hold up to 3cm in depth, but its annoyingly just goes 9.5cm in height D:

Excellent video. When you're on a zoom call and listening via speakers, does the output from the speakers ever bleed into the microphone?

Great video thanks. I have a slight problem that you may be able to solve. I have a Manfrotto fluid head to which I have attached a long (120mm)Arca Swiss clamp. Works really well for attaching telephoto lenses with Arca Swiss tripod collar. However, I would like to be able to also attach a camera with L bracket. Obviously when attached to the Manfrotto set up it is facing 90 degrees the wrong way. Is there a small Arca clamp that would fit into the long (120mm) Arca clamp, but facing 90 degrees differently.? Thanks again.

Can you have 3 cameras side by side or only 2?

Give this guy a gold medal please!

what about k&f NP-FZ100?

Very helpful thank you !!!

As you invited me to watch this video ... I just did... I agree with everything you said BUT ONE THING. I also use multi-camera , specially while producing video podcast (8 cameras controlled by the BlackMagic ATEM. I Understood your speakers pushed the camera too far... but... that makes the video feels wrong, uncomfortable to the audience. I believe that's where most of the comments (or complains) about it comes from... I hope you find a way to place the camera in a smaller angle... that's all it takes for your videos to get visually better. But of course, we fall on your reason number one: it's your video, you do it however you want it. :) Best wishes. You're a great guy.

I subbed

great info! thanks ! what pelican case model are you using for storing your camcorder ?

Well .... when you have so many other batteries already, working fine ... I wish we have a solution for the other batteries as well. We should be able to disable this feature, to say the least.

I dont see a point swiching your angle 90 degrees to show you sideways .... it feels uncomfortable. Try to place your second camera into a smaller degree difference. Also, there should be a purpose to switch cameras ... and I guess you're just doing that to not feel "boring" as a one camera video... but it's working the opposite.... 90 angles made no sense. Just a hint

Buy a desk top charger, problem solved

I am using condenser USB Boya MC2 condenser mic ( that features three audio capsules, and is capable of capturing sound in a 20' radius, with 180-degree coverage) which is great as no matter where I place it it picks up my voice even from few meters away and is sensitive enough that it hears ticking of a clock on the wall. It's not studio quality mic but very convenient for home office and doesn't require any arm, boom or placing near nor above you.

mine will not connect

32+ years ago bought sony cdm-850 $200. Still have and sound great. Got another on ebay used and bass is much less. It looks used much less than mine. I dont know if it needs burn-in or sony changed something mid production and now I need an amp or seller installed cheaper drivers. I dont know if that was how 1st pair sounded because I only had a portable cassette player then.

Marcus, excellent video! Since I am new to the MD-HX, this golden nugget of info is vital in keeping signals unchanged. Thank you so much for such a thoroughly explained and visualized tutorial. Your real-world scenario is the perfect demonstration of how the whites and blacks clip when in RGB conversion.

Which mount can I use for the Rode Videomic Go 2? Do you have any ideas? for the home office?
