Damn, no mics or lights at all??? Ok let me see if I can do this sub 5 since someone who's not me will probably criticize this harshly by saying something like "are you sure you're ready to even buy a camera" or "you need to spend as much on all your equipment as you spend on your camera".
Here goes:
Camera:
Used Gh4 ~$800-850
Mir 37mm f2.8: ~50
Helios 44-2 58mm f2: ~35
OR Pentax 50mm F1.4: ~55
Used Lumix G 45-200m F4-F5.6 ~200
This tripod - ~$100
Lighting: (Beware this lighting setup is mainly good for controlled, smaller environments. I would get it to practice/learn how to light when you can afford a better kit)
This post about lighting was low budget enough - $150
Black and White Sheets/table cloths: ~35
Work Lights from Home Depot or Walmart (Halogen or LED not clamp): <$30
Audio:
Zoom H4n: ~$205
Look up how to make a diy boom pole: ~$35
MKE 600 - ~340
Some XLR cables $30
Headphones to check if you're peaking ~150
Editing:
Oh fuck, idk nothin bout computers, Maybe go to /r/buildapc or go simple:
iMac: ~1700
Accesories:
2 64gb SD Cards ~75
500 gb or 1tb Harddrive: 35/65
Batteries (you could probably get a battery grip, but id get two off brand batteries + a charger for now) ~ 35
ND Filter -
Polarizer
All this is about $4200 and with that extra grand you can buy a b camera like a gh2 or a gh3 or even a g7 all with lenses to boot!
If you have a tripod, you can downscale 4k to 1080 and smooth out all your shots, so no need for a ronin
E1: Also this post should've been in the Moronic Monday thread
E2: ALSO SHOUTS OUT /U/JJSUPER1 THE LIGHTING GOD WHOSE THREAD I LINKED AND I DIDNT EVEN KNOW BLESSED THIS THREAD TOO U LUCKY /U/CAVEDHARD
I would spend more on a good microphone instead of just a shotgun capsule for audio recorder. Just setup a Sennheiser MKE600 as your mic into a Tascam DR40, then use the rest of the budget for a cable and microphone stand. You don't need a boom pole, just a simple boom stand.
If you see youself in a situation where you don't have phantom power, I'd get the MKE-600 as you can run it off a double A battery. This Rode windscreen fits on it like a glove, which to me is an essential accessory. It comes with a really neat shoe mount so mounting it on a camera is really easy. I mount it on my GH5 rig occasionally and it doesn't really bother me in regards to the size. I use it on a boom pole more myself.
Sound quality is great too. I came from having a Rode NTG-2 and this is a huge difference.
Hi /u/Lapare - is there a reason you want a Canon camera with a viewfinder that goes blank when you're shooting video because it is blocked by the mirror? Or a camera that doesn't have a built-in headphone jack? Or a camera with no 1080/60p for smooth slow motion?
Instead, for $2000, you may want to consider a [$940 Panasonic GH3] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&amp;pub=5575034783&amp;toolid=10001&amp;campid=5337235943&amp;customid=&amp;icep_item=291102268564&amp;ipn=psmain&amp;icep_vectorid=229466&amp;kwid=902099&amp;mtid=824&amp;kw=lg), a [$199 Sigma 30mm f2.8 lens] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076F3RS4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0076F3RS4&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=battleforthew-20), a [$330 Sennheiser MKE600 mic] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B0YPAYQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00B0YPAYQ&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=battleforthew-20), a [$17.50 Hosa MIT-156 XLR to 3.5mm adapter/transformer] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002IAJ2O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0002IAJ2O&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=battleforthew-20), a [$15 shock mount] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I3Y3A52/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00I3Y3A52&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=battleforthew-20), a [$44 Giant Squid lavalier microphone] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HWMG44U/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00HWMG44U&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) a set of [$90 Senal monitoring headphones] (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/755659-REG/Senal_SMH_1000_STUDIO_MONITOR_HEADPHONES.html), a [$128 75mm bowl professional tripod] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072B0UPA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0072B0UPA&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=battleforthew-20), a [$40 Ravelli dolly] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YB862E/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000YB862E&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) and a [$170 softbox light/background/chromakey kit] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TYFT4G/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B003TYFT4G&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Links].
Here's my GH3 on the 75mm bowl tripod with headphones and a pro XLR mic plugged into it. This setup produces great video and sound in one package:

/u/LifeOfRileyVlogs - for a little less than the price of a [$199.99 Zoom H4n Pro] (https://www.amazon.com/Zoom-H4N-Digital-Multitrack-Recorder/dp/B01DPOXS8I//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) plus a [$329.95 Sennheiser MKE 600] (https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MKE-Camcorder-Shotgun-Microphone/dp/B00B0YPAYQ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20), you can get a [$299.99 Tascam DR-70D with three XLR inputs] (https://www.amazon.com/Tascam-DR-70D-4-Channel-Recorder-Bundle/dp/B00U1SMWES//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) that's much easier to mount than the Zoom (below your camera, instead of on top of it) - and a [$229 Azden SGM-250 shotgun mic] (https://www.amazon.com/Azden-SGM-250-Professional-Powered-Microphone/dp/B00XWG2YBW//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) with better low end frequency response than the Sennheiser.
Add a [$74.99 set of Senal SMH-1000 field monitoring headphones with a replaceable cord] (https://www.amazon.com/Senal-SMH-1000-Closed-Back-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00ASWZO6U//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20), a [$38.99 Pyle boom] (https://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PMKSB06-Microphone-Telescoping-Extending/dp/B011FOMA02//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) plus [20' of XLR cable for $6.95] (https://www.amazon.com/Rockville-RCXFM20E-B-Female-Cable-Copper/dp/B01DP0H4N2//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20), and you'll be ready to go.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your audio upgrade!
It's the microphone question again.
I'm currently running a cheap BM-800 into a Behringer Q802USB to my computer, and I'd like to replace the microphone with something that will give me a bassier and warmer sound.
I will be recording mostly male voices, doing voiceover or audiobook recording in a non-soundproofed environment- I've been looking at shotgun microphones to cut out some of the floor noise from the environment.
My budget would be around $300-400 USD. I've looked at:
Azden SMX-30
Rode NTG4+
Sennheiser MKE 600
AT875R
But wanted some other opinions before jumping the gun.
