 David,Richard,

 Thanks for all the advice.

 Yes, it's only me doing all the filming and sound. And yes, I do have a
 wireless mic system (German brand). It's omnidirectional so I don't think
 it's suitable for filming outside. That's why I need a boom pole to somehow
 solve the outside filming situations.

 Is the wind screen (fluffy one) needed any time during filming outside or
 more when it's really windy? My mic has a black standard one that came with
 it so wonder if it's not going to be enough. It's usually not windy where I
 live :)

 Thanks again.

 Loreta

   Can anybody please recommend a good quality (not too pricey please)
 boom
   pole for a one person team?
 
  I don't understand what a one person team is. A team, by definition
  seems to be a minimum of two.
 
   I have an Audio-Technica AT875R shot gun mic which I'll be using for my

   videofilmings and would like a boom pole to go with it. Holding a pole
   myself is not an option.
  
  A boom pole holder may work.
 
 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=boom+pole+holderN=0InitialSearch=yes
  but only for a subject that is not moving about.
 
   Please give me some guidance what features to look for in a pole, where

   and what best to purchase, etc.
  
  Some poles have the mic cable built-in, and of course the length varies.
 
  You can always go with the Home Depot / Lowes extendable paint pole. But
 you
  will need to purchase an attachment to convert the end to hold the mic.

  and, of course, this also requires you to run the mic cable the length of

  the pole.
 
  If you are shooting outdoors you will definitely need a windscreen. The
 foam
  type may work well enough, or it may not. Better is the furry or dead
  cat type of windscreen. Even better is a blimp type with a furry
 cover.
 
  If you have a person to hold the mic/boom pole be sure that they have
  headphones and can actually *hear* the audio from the mic. Otherwise they

  won't know if they are holding the mic / pole properly. This may be a
 long
  cable running out of the camcorder to the person, or .. you can do
 double
  system sound and record to a high quality digital recorder. In that case

  the recorder can be carried by the boom pole operator and and there is
 less
  chance of someone tripping on a long cable from the camera. You will need
 to
  sync-up the sound in editing, but it's not as hard as you might think.

[videoblogging] Live webvideocasting - Veetle?

2010-03-13 Thread Brook Hinton
Revisiting the whole live video thing due to stumbling across veetle.com. It
seems a little too good to be true, free high quality live streaming at SD
or HD with no ads and no bandwidth limits. Anyone used it? Experiences?
Anything?
