Rode Videomic<br \/>\nDespite being the most expensive audio equipment ($149) I have I actually did not used it a lot for the past two weeks&#8211;I have been recording music mainly, while in other situations the speakers use microphones connected to speakers anyway.

On my part I need to practice my panning skills and remember to turn off optical image stabilization (ouch!).<!--f11048cfdc7cd61305e7da57c84e6e18--><!--1072502c32d9d5b4df5fea1fde2b2da7--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having used my new equipments for a few times here are my thoughts, 1.
