Lightweight 4K Vlog & YouTube setup 2016

Lightweight 4K Vlog & YouTube setup 2016 once again we are going to use the lovely Panasonic LX100 with its super sharp Leica 24-70mm F1.7 equivelant lens as the video capture device as it will shoot Ultra High Def 3840*2160 resolution footage. Not quite true 4K but close enough for the majority of us. We also show off the inexpensive Albinar combination Pistol grip and table top tripod. For audio capture we use the much smaller Tascam DR22WL which has built in stereo microphones. Much smaller and lighter setup than our previous tho less versatile in some ways since it lacks XLR inputs. Shot on the Panasonic DMC-G7 and edited on Apple iPadPro. Please give us a thumbs up and subscribe. Thank you for watching. Thanks for visiting! I look forward to seeing you over on my youtube channel, http://youtu.be/2NGv1AgQ51o where you will have much more content coming your way, or you can subscribe to this blog for updates

Lightweight Run & Gun 4K system

Here's a tongue in cheek look at a Lightweight Run & Gun 4K system, it's not totally far fetched of course as the #Panasonic #LX100 shoots gorgeous #4K footage with it's super sharp #Leica 24-75mm F1.7-28 equivalent #FOV lens. The LX100 , #DMC-G7 and the fabulous #GH4 all share the same Micro 4/3 sensor I believe and the camera has built in stabilization as well which is another plus to this budget rig. It's sitting in most of a #Sony #A7 cage from #SmallRig and has a #Rode #VideoMicro on it's hotshoe and attached to the side #cheesebar is the #Tascam #DR22WL digital recorder to grab sound as the LX100 alas lacks a microphone input and headphone monitor jack so recording external sound is a must. This can then replace the scratch track captured by the camera's built in mic's. Final Cut Pro X makes short work of this as does Red Giant's Pluraleyes. Why do I say it's most of a SmallRig cage? Simple, I had to remove the top plate to give myself room for the mini shotgun mic. Yes at some point I will shoot this contraption handheld. Perhaps a trip to Coney Island is in order to give this a bit of a workout. What do you think of this mini rig? BTW I think I'm going to kill off the WordPress version of this Blog and simply post here ONLy, and on Facebook Page and Twitter @MadMohawkFilms of course and Youtube etc. Have a great night. Hope this brought a smile to your face or a glint to your eye.

Having a listen to the Tascam DR-22WL on the Sony A7

In our latest episode we take a listen to the quality of the audio of the relatively new Tascam DR-22WL digital recorder. From our use thus far it appears to be a nice upgrade from using the Zoom H1, it also seems much more solidly built and suffers much less from handling noise issues. So have a listen and hopefully it helps your decision on wether to pick one up or not.
