Caught them in Towson, MD. Last show of the tour with Cynic.
Anyone who has filmed on a Minidv HD cammie, what types of tapes are you using?

Re: HD Cam discussion
Ran mine last night, video came out amazing, audio, not so much. The club was LOUD and the bands wanted me right up front, so it may not be the most fair situation to base my judgment, but I'm glad I ran separate audio.

Actually, I'm getting the shows transferred now, and I've got to say, the audio turned out a lot better than I thought at first. Still going to synch it up, but I'm rather impressed. I've been asked by both bands not to post samples on YouTube until they have seen the shows, but as soon as I get the OK, I'll put them up.

Yea, the mic on the HC5 is total shit. Distorts every single time. Best bet is to run external audio every time you possibly can. It doesn't help also that the cam doesn't have a mic-in jack.
How did you find the exposure? Exposure control was the biggest thing I hated about the HC5, it just wasn't very good and on auto it would always over-expose.

Re: HD Cam discussion
The exposure wasn't too much of an issue for me last night, they didn't really do anything with the lights, and I had 2 opening bands to dial it in, so once I had it set, it was set.
As for the mic jack, I've heard there is something you can put on the mic foot that has a jack that would allow me to plug in an mic I wanted, but have yet to actually see such a device anywhere. I could get a Sony mic for use on the cammie, but I figure I'll be running the R-09 anyway, so I really don't see much point.
