YOUR Real MX Vid's

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

It was sick for sure. My first time ever going down south to ride. Wish we coulda went to county line mx tho, as I mention in the beginning of wanting to go to Florida haha. Couldn't get the whole group to agree on going there. I thought the trails were pretty cool too, idk if you rode those at monster. They were a little muddy when we rode tho so it was a chore in some areas to get through, but the dry spots were fun. Definitely worth the 10 hour drive.

& also thanks for the compliments.. you always have something nice to say about my videos and I appreciate that. it was a nice change of pace filmmaking-wise being the last vid I did was my full length. Less pressure :roll: haha

So I have a question for you guys. In your opinion, What would be the best way to set up a mic with my current camera setup?

I would like to use this mic \/

On this setup \/

(This is my full tripod setup. My 'run and gun' type of setup would obviously be a smaller lens, top handle and with no follow focus)

However, I do not want to move my top handle away from the center of the camera. I would like if the mic could be somewhere to the left of and a little lower than the top handle if possible. Putting some sort of cage around the camera seems like a bit much just for these two things to be near the top.I thought about raising the handle up and mounting the mic on its side, but I'm not sure if that would work. I cant seem to think of anyway that would keep the handle where I want it and have the mic where I want it at the same time.

What are your guys' opinions on what I should do?

i know theres extra mounts or something that push the mic forward so the handle is not in the way but im not sure try looking those up :D

I thought about getting something like this, but like I said Idk how well the mic mounted sideways would do

I would just lose the handle, no? I know you want to keep it but what purpose does it serve aside from easier carrying?

You actually have a good point. I got it specifically to make getting lower shots a little easier. So I suppose they could easily be switched out when needed.

Yoo! Just wanting to share my first video I shot with my new camera, the a6500. Pretty satisfied with the quality that it delivers and all that
for the relatively moderate price of just 1399$. Only downside is the prize of the native Sony lenses, but even that wasn't too big of a bummer since I'll probably be using Sony cameras for a few years now. Right now I'm only having a kit of two lenses sitting around. It consists of the 70-200 G f4 and the 24-70 GM F2.8.



I'd absolutely love to hear some feedback from you guys :)
