So I just ordered one of these from Campbell's it looks to me like it will be more than adequate for a rookie self filmer like me to get started with. Does anyone on here have one? Any opinions ?
It's an okay camera. It lacks a shoe mount which sucks but there's mounts and brackets to get around it. I have a friend who uses one and it's good for starters but if your like him you'll want to upgrade soon! The filming bug is a spendy one! Sent from iPhone
Hmm I must have missed that. So essentially I will need a mount/bracket in order to use it on tripod or camera arm? Guess that explains the bracket in the "package deal" that I didn't order. Lol
You won't need it to mount on the tripod or camera arm but if you want a external mic you will need one. I have the canon HF R30 that I bought to get started and I had to buy the bracket. It will work for me for a year or 2 until I want to upgrade. Here is a picture of my camera with the bracket and mic. I'll have it at camp so you can check out there too. : tu:
Ah cool thanks Oly! I have ALOT to learn! I did realize though that I would need the bracket for the ext mic.
No problem. I too am very new so I'm right there with you when it comes to learning about filming and cameras in general.
I'm thinkin so.. should arrive tomorrow! Can't wait to get my hands on it and start learning. Hoping to get some pointers from some of you experienced guys while at camp!
Ive got the hfr300 which is the model down from the hf r400.It works great for outdoor stuff.Heres a couple snapshots from this past turkey season The snapshots make it a little blurry but the video is crystal clear.
Opened it up last night and started playing. Think I'm gonna have fun with it! Lookin forward to playing with it at camp (if it doesn't rain the whole time ): and on the drive up.
