This is where light is your friend. Video shot with any camera will look better with correct lighting.

LRtimelapse works really well. One second in between frames is pretty fast - is that allowing the camera to write to the card quick enough? The interval will depend on the subject, ie how fast the ...

Colour balance and exposure etc.

I have never had problems with regard to combining different makes of cameras on a shoot. The problem comes with matching the pictures sometimes.

This looks to me as though it is way over complicated for you. To keep it basic get the camera with a wide angle lens and stick it in front of your subjects. You don't seem to have much time to ...

I think you will struggle to get a light bright enough. Most LED lights on camera are interview lights.

If I'm worried about battery time on the Zoom I use one of those power blocks to run it. Lasts for hours.

A lot of good advice here, I would add one more bit. If you do use a shotgun mic from a distance then beware of what else it will pick up - audience noise for instance. Good luck.

As others have said - Windows settings and set it so the desktop displays across both monitors. In your NLE set that to dual monitor mode.

And if you do get people to use their phones make sure they use them in landscape mode!

The space may well be enough but what else is in the room? Surrounding walls etc. Will your subjects be lit. Your main worry (with one camera) is getting everyone in it and seeing their faces, ...

I use a Splashart kit for water drops. The kit fires the shutter of the camera which fires the flashes. This was taken on my Nikon but should work just as well on the Fuji (only just bought the ...

I used to use it with my D810 and D800 but as the D850 has it's own built in lens calibration tool I have been using that. But Reikan Focal did work well.

For what you want to do I would use Pictures2exe. A great program and easy to use.

Flicker normally occurs with cheap/old LED lights. The newer ones are ok. If you don't want flicker on tv screens (or anything else) the only way is to adjust the shutter to compensate. I have ...

I use my Shogun recorder all the time, great as a monitor and as a video recorder backup. And no 30min time limitations. I use it on my main camera as well (only one at a time though)

With the time limit of 30mins I would use both cameras but start the second one a few minutes after the first, that way you wont miss anything when you stop and restart it. It powered by mains ...

Adding to what others have said I would switch the camera to manual exposure and focus. The background looks about right to me and the colour balance looks ok. I would get the mic nearer to ...

That's right, when you are zoomed in every shake is magnified.

This is where the tripod is very important. I use a Vinton with an oil damped head. You can adjust the drag to get nice smooth pans. Not particularly lightweight but you need a solid bit of kit. Ex ...
