Hi Jocelyn! Thanks for sharing your experience with the HF100. Which Audio Technica shotgun do you use, and is it able to use the "mini" shoe that Canon placed on this unit?
Your video looks great, but more importantly, it is a really interesting, well done documentary. I can only wish that I will be able to create content as good as you did with one. It is exceptional!
