[videoblogging] Rode Videomic versus Rode Stereomic
Does anybody have any experience comparing the quality of the Rode mono stereo videomics? I know they're popular with videobloggers.
Re: [videoblogging] Rode Videomic versus Rode Stereomic
here's another general question for the audiophiles like Richard - is there really much difference between a mono and a stereo mic at this level? surely in most cases - recording someone talking, or capturing general atmos for instance, both channels will be almost exactly the same? and the range and response isn't improved by having stereo, is it? what am i missing?

Re: [videoblogging] Rode Videomic versus Rode Stereomic
excellent - i can have a thread all to myself. well, Rupert, it seems to me after a moment's consideration that the Stereo videomic is probably better for atmosphere and group discussions, whereas the more directional mono videomic would be better for interview use. does that sound right? Yes, Rupert, that would seem to make sense. Thanks. No problem.

Re: [videoblogging] Rode Videomic versus Rode Stereomic
Hey Ruperts, one advantage to stereo is having a backup channel for loud situations. Live music for example. You set one channel at a reasonable level, and set the other maybe 6db below it. That way if you get any crazy peaks you can just delete the standard channel during that scene and double up your backup.

That didn't even occur to me. Nice tip. On 31 Mar 2010, at 13:04, Quirk wrote: Hey Ruperts, one advantage to stereo is having a backup channel for loud situations. Live music for example.

Re: [videoblogging] Rode Videomic versus Rode Stereomic
Hey Rupert, here's a video where Gene Fama gives a great comparison of the two mics in action on a 5D Mk2, which I think is the camera you're thinking of attaching it to, isn't it? http://vimeo.com/2707206 On 31 Mar 2010, at 12:51, Rupert Howe wrote: excellent - i can have a thread all to myself. well, Rupert, it seems to me after a moment's consideration that the Stereo videomic is probably better for atmosphere and group discussions, whereas the more directional mono videomic would be better for interview use. does that sound right?

[videoblogging] YouTube link to blog to be retired
http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=178162 I never used this feature in YouTube, but I use the automatic cross posting to my blogs from Blip.TV all the time. I guess this is one more reason I'll keep Blip.TV as my primary means of video distribution. --Chad -- Chad F.

Just a thought, but what if you got TWO Rode Videomics hooked up pointing in an inward X fashion towards your subject?

- Original Message - From: Kevin Lim Just a thought, but what if you got TWO Rode Videomics hooked up pointing in an inward X fashion towards your subject? I'm taking a cue from cameras with 3D stereoscopic lens. Why bother? Use the Rode Stereo Video Mic instead. With your siggested setup you'd have to micky mouse (use an adaptor) the connector to get stereo into the camera .. and .. you may even have a spot *directly* in front of the camera that is off axis of both mics.

Re: [videoblogging] Rode Videomic versus Rode Stereomic
Hi Rupert, If I can break into this conversation between you andRupert, I'd like to say that in the situation you're describing, I don't think stereo audio is an issue. I capture my video podcast audio with a mono lavaliere and convert with QT Pro and the results are very good. The audio goes in as mono but comes out as mono in both channels. You can check my podcast if you like and hear for yourself. I've just opened it up so it still needs some content but please check it out. Stereo in the field could be a complication you could easily avoid and I would unless the situation demanded otherwise. Good Listening Good Luck, and now feel free to continue your conversation with Rupert.

Re: [videoblogging] Rode Videomic versus Rode Stereomic
Thanks Tom - don't feel shy about adding your podcast URL as a signature, for our easy access. I usually do (so do most people here, I think) I was just being lazy today because I was talking to myself.
