This is the most expensive video you've ever seen.
It easily costs more than a portable http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-DR-05-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG/ref=sr_1_3?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1393995752&sr=1-3

I have one of these and it works great. The sound is excellent, a lot of storage space and its easy to use.
/u/robot_one - sadly, this setup won't give you much light; the tripod is made for still photography, not video; plus the recorder has poor frequency response and outputs to mono.
Instead, I recommend [Referral Links]:
This setup will cost you about $100 more, but will give you more light, higher quality audio and smoother camera pans and tilts.
Hope this is helpful, good luck with your exercise videos and Happy New Year to you and yours!

Both Zoom and Tascam have small handy recorders (kind of pricey but excellent quality) that have those little holes where you can tie in a little wrist bracelet to hold or potentially a key ring to attach to a lanyard.
You can reduce the "shot with a GoPro" look by changing the "field of view" setting to "medium" or "narrow" then processing in GoPro Studio with the "remove fisheye" option turned on.
Use bright, but soft and neutral lighting - invest in some inexpensive lighting rigs like some of the ones in any of these videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=video+lighting+cheap
Get yourself a microphone and an audio recorder and record the sound separately. Camera microphones are horrible.
Forget using the camcorder. Use the GoPro and the S5 to record. Record your footage in 1080p on both devices.
Also get a tripod and the adaptors you'll need to put the gopro and / or phone on it.

You're gonna have to buy a recorder. The preamps built into the DSLR are what cause the hiss. You could essentially buy a 25 dollar mic, but as long as you have a good recorder to record the audio into, it'll be fine. So basically you'll have to attach your mic into a recorder and record the audio separately from the camera and then sync it up in post.
something like this
Couple of options here.
If you want to use your phone to stream, you can record externally to one of these. http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-DR-05-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG
Option 2 - give the above device to the engineer, and if he has enough outputs/is nice he can get you a feed. Audio quality will also be worlds better.
3 - If you're shooting highlights for the team and don't want to worry about stuff syncing up, get a wireless system and ask your radio guys to plug the tx into one of their outputs and plug the rx into your camera. They usually mix nats in with the announcers, so you wouldn't need to worry about that.
Option 4 - often times the radio engineer will also cut highlights up for the network. You (if you work for the team) can request these, and there's probably some language written into your league's broadcast policy about teams having access to radio and/or video feeds.
Okay! With those parameters, assets, and budget, you have two good options.
The first, and probably easiest, will be doing exactly what /u/MacintoshEddie has suggested and throwing $400 at a local filmmaker and seeing what they can do with your well developed idea.
The second is, in my opinion, more fun, but it'll also require you to learn a little about filmmaking yourself.
The good news is, you already have most of the tools you need to create a "my first documentary" video and do it well. The camera on the iPhone 7 is better than any camera you're going to purchase below $200, and if you drop a couple bucks on a tripod and iphone adapter you're going to be set.
The biggest downside for you will be audio. Audio is the thing most fresh-faced filmmakers overlook, but it's just as-- if not more-- important as video quality. The onboard microphone in the iPhone is oooookay, but if you're more than 3 feet away from your subject, it'll get dicey. And unfortunately, this is the only place the iPhone falls short of a $250 Canon t2i.
Traditionally, there are two ways to do audio: in-camera and synced. In camera is when the audio and video are recorded together inside whatever camera you're using. This is a little tricky for the iPhone, because it's harder to attach a decent microphone. There are ways, but I'm not fluent in them. If this were a DSLR like the t2i mentioned above, I'd suggest you drop $150 for a Rode Videomic and call it a day. Since that's not an option (that I know of-- there might be a 3.5mm microphone jack adapter for the iPhone 7!), we need to look at the second audio solution: synced.
Synced audio is when you record the audio and video separately, and then synchronize them in post production. First off, post production is a fancy way of saying "editing the video." For professionals, there's a whole lot more than just editing, but for you, this'll be when you're bringing the footage onto your macbook and likely editing in iMovie.
For synced audio, the best option will be purchasing an $85 Tascam DR-05, a cheap microphone boom stand, and this adapter. Attach the DR-05 to the boom, throw something heavy on the base of the stand, and you'll have a good setup to capture audio for interviews and stationary events. However, you will need to "slate" each shot.
A slate is that black and white clapper board you see whenever film is depicted in media. It's purpose to to create a spike in the sound, as well as a visual indicator, so whoever is editing the footage can synchronize the audio and video. You can get away without a slate by simply clapping your hands in front of the camera.
If you go this route, I would suggest ONLY trying to do audio for interviews, and maybe stationary events where your camera won't move around. The audio captured on your iphone for "action" shots or "in the wild" shots will be okay as long as you have decent quality audio for the interviews. This will also save you time while editing, because syncing audio is a pain in the butt.
Now, if you haven't been scared away yet, and still want to spend a little money to make those interviews look extra-sexy, imma talk about some of my favorite lights on the market right now.
I've thrown together a $180 light kit for you that'll help you light your subjects in most lighting conditions. I use the YN600 Air for a key light (main light), and the YN300 for a fill light (remove unwanted shadows, dark background, etc). They're not as bright as some other LED options, but you won't need to worry about modifying the light at all. The YN Air series does a wonderful job of creating a nice, soft lightsource that won't screw with skintones or create harsh shadows. I've also thrown in two good stands that include a bag, and two power adapters to run the lights. If you want, you can spend an extra $60 on NPF batteries and chargers (I'd suggest these and then these ) to make the lights completely mobile). In addition to being excellent video lights, I've found I also keep my 300 set up in my room as a evening reading lamp!
Obviously, the lighting isn't necessary, but I promise you it'd be worth the investment when it comes to the final quality of your video. Both have an extremely easy learning curve, produce excellent results without needing to set up screens of diffuse, and their size makes them an afterthought when traveling.
So now that you're overwhelmed with all that info, let me recap!
Option 1) Have someone else do it!
Pros: You need to learn less, less stressful, less time spent on your end
Cons: Limited scheduling flexibility, $400 won't secure someone for months-on-end
Option 2) Do it yourself!
Pros: Complete control over the final product, working on your own time without worrying about other people, and new toys!
Cons: way more work, way more learning
Overall, you have two solid options to make this work. You could even combine the two: get the tripod and grab "on site" shots while paying someone else to produce your interviews. You'd still be up for editing, but you wouldn't have to worry about the nicer quality audio/syncing. With either option, you're going to end up being the producer/director of this video, which means you'll be doing the scheduling and coordinating, as well as creating the idea and communicating it exactly to everyone else you're working with.
Even though this may all seem really overwhelming right now, the best way to get the documentary done is to simply start working on it. Write up a summary of your vision, start asking around, and trust yourself to create something good. This subreddit is an excellent resource, as well as plenty of youtube channels and other forums out there. Additionally, if you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to shoot me a message. :)
Well hang on though. Because depending on what and how you're filming, a lav mic may be better for you. Best thing you can do for audio quality is get the mic as close as possible. Since you've indicated you're willing to combine in post (which honestly is way less work than some people make it out to be) something like this and this might work better for you. To be clear, I'm not saying the linked Shure is bad. It's not. If you're planning on putting the phone on a tripod and videoing yourself from like 5-10 feet away, go with the lav. If you're videoing at arms length holding the iPhone, go with something like the Shure. Getting the mic close is the single best thing you can do.
Probably what you want https://www.amazon.com/Tascam-Stereo-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=DDQS2KYO9ZUY&keywords=tascam+dr-05&qid=1562275565&s=gateway&sprefix=tascam+d%2Caps%2C198&sr=8-3
Reddit delivers again. Thank you fuzeebear!!
Just placed my amazon order. Ended up going with the [Tascam]
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OU2IQG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) like you suggested, along with this [Sony ECMCS3] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058MJX4O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) clip on microphone ($13) and these earHero earbuds ($150).
Those are some sleek, albeit expensive as heck, earbuds by the way.
Total price with $25 rebate for the tascam comes out to $233. Couldn't thank you enough!
No offence meant by this statement, but you'd be more likely to get better feedback if you recorded with something other than what I assume is a mobile phone or computer microphone. Something like this (http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-DR-05-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG) will set you back about $100, but you'll get much better recordings out of it since the microphones can handle a bit more dBs.
Hey there. I use a Tascam DR-05 and have no complaints. The two condenser mics won't give you any of that iphone fuzz and it's only a hundred bucks. I'm sure the h5 you listed has a couple more bells and whistles but my biased opinion says you probably couldn't hear a quality difference in the mix or even on it's own;)
Broken down:
I will end on this note: You like these videos because they are well shot, well composed, and well edited. I could hand you the best camera system in the world and you're going to make a shitty video if you don't know how to use it. Whereas I could hand a great cinematographer a crappy camera and he'd make something awesome. It's more about what you shoot than what you shoot with. With that in mind, the GH5 is fucking awesome (I just got mine) and it's a great tool to learn on and grow with.
I use a Tascam DR05 with an attenuator, works great.
https://www.amazon.com/Tascam-Stereo-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GW69IQ2
To connect from the mixer to the recorder using the attenuator, you'll go:
Mixer Rec output > RCA to 3.5mm cable > attenuator > Tascam DR05
If you’re using it for personal stuff and not distributing the recordings, you’ll be fine. The voice memo app on your Mac or iPhone will work. Evernote also has a built in recorder so you can also take notes and insert time stamps in the text.
These also might be useful https://www.amazon.com/Tascam-Stereo-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG. I have a few of these that I use for professional work and it’s great for capturing crystal clear room audio, just place it as close to the source of audio as possible.
Soon to be masters grad (soprano) here.
A high quality recording device can be very useful. The non-musically inclined electrical engineer boyfriend bought me a Tascam DR-05 with a small stand and case for my birthday last year. (It also came with a fun lesson from him on how sound recording works -- talk about nerd-out connection!) It is wonderfully portable and I use it all the time to record lessons, coachings, and practice sessions. Also on the tech front, the best investment I EVER made as a singer was a great set of noise canceling headphones. (I have Bose QC-15s that I bought in 2010.) They are a godsend when I am traveling for auditions and have become an integral part of shutting out the rest of the world for my pre-performance/audition routine. In terms of listening to her own voice, good headphones or speakers are pretty much a requirement since most speakers/headphones can't handle the high upper partials of the high notes in the female operatic range.
What I always, always, always want for every occasion that merits presents are books and/or scores to build my personal library. There is a good chance that she has a list of things that she would like to own and you might consider asking if you're not invested in surprising her.
Nice opera scores are always a great option. Consider looking for a hard-bound score (like Ricordi or Bärenreiter) for one of the major mezzo role operas like Carmen, Werther, or Barber of Seville. (They are not particularly cheap.) You might consider asking her singer friends what roles she might be expected to sing during her career to guide your selections.
A great song cycle for mezzo could also be a nice gift. Jake Hegie's [The Deepest Desire] (http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/the-deepest-desire-piano-vocal-score-sheet-music/19646133) is still under copyright so she wouldn't just be able to print it from a free online resource like imslp.
Reference books could also be a great idea since she's about to lose access to a lot of materials that she has probably used on a regular basis through her university. A libretto collection and the New Kobbes Opera Book are two that immediately come to mind.
Alternative mic suggestion: Tascam DR-05 and a cheap lavalier mic like this
It's a lot more portable and versatile than the Snowball, but it will require you to sync up audio and video after the fact.
edit: honestly, even just the lav mic would help a lot
i second this. can be done for under 150. "http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OU2IQG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004OU2IQG&linkCode=as2&tag=dlevi-20&linkId=HF3PXYEBUAW5VGKH

I'm looking for something to record male vocals and acoustic guitar in the $100 range. I'm currently trying to decide between the Blue Microphone Snowball (which is marked down to $50) and the TASCAM DR-05, which would be twice as expensive, but portable. I really would like to save $50, but I want to know the pros and cons.
Pretty much the most popular mic on this sub is the 3dio but it's not really cheap, something like $300 if I remember correctly. I'd have to do a bit more research to find any binaural mics for less

You rock man! This helps a lot.
If I can ask one more question - do you know of any good resources for learning about audio & audio equipment? Not necessarily just for podcasting... I just think some kind of Audio 101 presentations would be beneficial for me.
The more I've thought about it, the more I think using dual Tascam DR05s will be fine for now. It won't be on par with Kevin Smith or Chris Hardwick, but I don't think it'll be bad enough to turn anyone off. I'm hesitant to tell him to buy anything right at the start anyway. Unless you're NPR or someone who already has a massive following, it takes a good while to build a podcast's audience. I'm worried that he will get discouraged and give up once he has 10 or so episodes out there and only ~100 downloads per. Then again, if he spends a bunch of money it might be easier to convince him to keep going...
I talked to him a bit ago and it looks like we're going to try and record an episode tomorrow. I guess he's testing people out as co-hosts so I'm gonna give that a shot (even though I hate the sound of my own voice). If the Tascams work out better than expected I'll make a new post with the results in case that might help anyone else.
Thanks again for your help!
tascam dr05 the sound quality will blow you away for the size and price. I have actual microphones that don't sound as good with spoken word. SD card, so you can record yourself at a listenable quality for HOURS without having to worry about running out of space. picks up very well. sometimes , if I'm alone, I'll just put my voice recorder on a table,set record on high and walk around the room talking.
the dual condenser mics make it sound like I was right there. the way they're arranged is designed to pick up everything.
this would be my personal suggestion. you could go cheaper, but listening to yourself in bad phone conversation quality ..wondering when your internal battery will run out... isn't fun. it makes you self-conscious.
I am unclear of the application you want to use this for - if you just want to have two people participate in a podcast - and I presume here the podcast is just two people talking - and your aim is to record it (for later upload).
Then all you need to do is have two mics combined - which your special dual microphone set already does.
What you can do is plug this microphone jack into the mic port of a Y-splitter (of the type I mentioned above) - then plug in a headphone splitter into the earphones port of the same Y-splitter.
Then plug the Y-splitter into your Android device.
Now you just record as usual.using our app or other audio recorder app.
Now the problem is with your requirement that you also hear yourself and the other person speaking (i.e. whatever is being recorded - you also want to hear). On Android this will always have audio latency (i.e. delay). If this was an Apple device (iOS) it will have much less delay - but there will be some delay but it won't confuse you. I can't think of an app off the top of my head - I think RobVox is also available on iOS - so perhaps if you have an iOS device you could try RobVox and if it allows recording and it already has the Headphone mirroring feature - then it may work better on iOS - check them out on iOS:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/robovox-voice-changer/id584847250
RobVox Voice Changer
Other than this - if you are willing to forgo the listening-to-yourself part - i.e. are willing to just leave your headphones off so you can listen to the other person just over the air, then you can use the Android solution - since you will then not have to listen to yourself. With our app you can turn off the headset mirroring feature - click Settings - Output Settings - Listen to Record (Headset) - and turn if Off.
But if you want to hear the recording also - then go with the iOS (test an iOS device first with RobVox if you can).
Other than that there maybe dedicated audio recorder devices which allow two mics, and have audio mirroring - these will have very low latency I think. But these would be expensive also.
You will need one which has a separate port for the audio output for headphones for audio mirroring (basically you need devices which have a field recorder feature).
I know some of the very expensive such devices have that:

https://www.amazon.com/Zoom-H5-Four-Track-Portable-Recorder/dp/B00KCXMBES/
Zoom H5 Four-Track Portable Recorder
$279
I can't off the top of my head recall which have the audio mirroring feature, but I think some devices like these have the audio mirroring to headphone - and have a separate headphone port. And possibly even two ports for two microphones (?)
For these types of solutions, the folks on r/podcasting may have better solutions.
This is almost exactly the same to my gear, except I use this sound recorder, and I have 4 32gb cards. They last about the same length as a full battery. Speaking of, get a spare battery.
Anyone in the taper section this tuesday in chicago that will tape for me?
https://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-DR-05-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG
With this ^
Im in sec 100 something
I can't specifically speak to the Zoom, but what I can tell you is that I use my Rode VideoMic (with the Rycote Lyre suspension) on the Rode boom pole, then I plug that into the Tascam DR-05. I don't have a clip handy to show you an example, but I get great audio out of this combination.
Also warning sort of Game of Throne spoilers ahead around 6:10-6:47
Darth's notes:
StarbucksSatanbucks has a chocolate chip frappe, ugh! What must it taste like?This is what I use for a wide variety of things.
this is also a very good choice.
In the ZOOM world, there is this. I have a friend that uses one of these and he loves it.
Again, good luck!
Thanks for the recommendation, but are you sure it would work at the distances I said above? This Q&A on amazon says has a couple of answers saying everyone would have to be bunched closely together to be heard:
Question:
Would this be good for a podcast with 4 people?
Answer:
it might work if the room has acoustic treatment (quiet) and all 4 voices speak loud, If this is an investment for something semi pro, I rather go with the Tascam DR-40, which has 2 stereo mics like this tascam but you can also plug 2 extra mics
By fm on March 31, 2014
The DR-40 would be a better choice for that. It has the capacity for two additional external mics with XLR input. So sound quality would be much better and you wont have to bunch everyone close together.
By M on November 11, 2015
http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-DR-05-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG
Yes! Well, kind of. I have limited experience, but here's what I know:
I've been eyeballing the Tascam DR-40 for a while... I want this one because it has XLR and 1/4" ins if I ever wanted to do a field recording with a nicer microphone. The built ins are condensers, and sound great, but I've never used it for more than voice. A buddy of mine has one of these, it is awesome.
The lower end Tascams seem really nice too, although I've never used them... the DR-07 can record in XY or AB, which is nice, and their entry model DR-05 seems pretty nice too, but for an extra $20, I'd probably go with the next level for AB/XY functionality.
And if you really want to spend the bucks, another friend of mine has a Sony PCM-D50, you can get these on eBay for around $500. AB/XY configurations, and dual condenser microphones. This thing is a beast... we've used it to record everything from concerts to a mosquito truck and everything turns out crystal clear.
Here is a great audio recorder, you'll have to sync up the audio in post but it has great sound. https://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-DR-05-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495566740&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=tascam . The camera seems pretty good looking at the specs. I personally would prefer having a mirrorless or a DSLR, but camcorders can do some good stuff too.
I want to be able to place a mic on the end of the barrel and the recorder taped into the side of the barrel, so that the RIS mount can hold it in place. Pic to demonstrate - http://image.prntscr.com/image/5e83db1f16874ed28043a8b1392b4538.png
What sort of budgets are feasible for a good quality setup like this? Ideally, nothing more than £50? Is that too low?
I'd like to have a bassier mic if possible, but, what do I know.
Which one?
I'm trying to record vlogs in a wood-floored (~75% carpeted), many-windowed, relatively empty 15x17ft room, using:
plugged into:
If I pad down some surfaces in my apartment and properly calibrate the Tascam, is it possible to get audio of comparable quality to, say, this or this with the above tools? Or will I need to invest in better equipment? Either way, what else can I do to get the clearest sound out of these conditions?
Depending on how many pieces of equipment you can get, I advise grabbing this. For $100 it's a solid (and cheap) recorder. Now depending on setting and what you want the actors to do, your audio person could be placed right off screen either under the actors to catch dialouge. Eventually we used the tascam in conjuction with other equipment, boom poles, etc. thus increasing our distance from actors and not having to be so much in their face. Just remember to sync up while on set of course as this is crucial for editing.
http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-DR-05-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG
I use one of these, it's almost too easy to just bang out a tune and record it with that thing. You can use Audacity (although there is better, paid software out there) to put your recordings all together. Yes you can only record one track at a time (technically two because it's stereo), but I just remedied that by doing multiple takes, something you're going to end up doing anyway.
Same as AdamPresley said, don't know if it is the best option, but we use the Audio Technica AT897 and it picks up great audio and we don't even use a windmuff.
the price has gone up since I last bought it ($180 4 years ago) and you will need an audio recorder for it. We use the Tascam DR-05. Also, you'll need a mic cable to connect the mic to the recorder.
At the current prices, the items would put you at $350.
But at least it should provide some options and ideas.
Good luck!

Logic and really any other software is probably overkill unless you really want to get in to mixing and mastering tracks. Our band just uses on of these to record our song ideas - https://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-DR-05-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG, and then we buy studio time when we actually want to get professional quality recordings.
Or one of these if we want to record multiple tracks, then I mix the tracks on my computer: https://www.amazon.com/DP-008EX-Portastudio-Portable-Multi-Track-Recorder/dp/B00B9060X6/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483727546&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=tascam+dp008

Use this for the audio if you want to post video to youtube. The overdriven mic sound is painful to listen to.
Otherwise, it sounds good.
