Re: Cheap Used Body for Video

I haven't researched sound recorder or microphones yet, as this started out as more of a photo/video centric GAS attack, but as I'm researching and learning, I think I would want to pick up a few things if I want to do this again:

- External mic or sound recorder. Not sure how much these run. Would I be able to run a wireless mic into a GH2, or is the mic input only for wired? If I can only do wired, then I guess I'd have to look at a separate recorder.

- Some sort of stabilized rig. Might be overkill, but my panning footage is a bit wobbly, even after running it through iMovie's crop/stabilize function.

- Speaking of iMovie, aside from the maddening interface in the more recent versions, it seems to be able to do what I want it to do (for now), but there have been instances in the past where I've wished I had multiple audio and video tracks to work with.
