AG-HMC 150. Need recommendation of equipment for club use..

[masterdave]

Hi Their,
i am looking at getting the AG-HMC 150. i read reviews about the camera and it seems like the one for me.

i was wondering what would be good equipment to use for Lights / wireless mics & shotgun mics for the camera? i will be working mostly in the club scene moving around thus i would need to record wirelessly off of the XLR out.



Thanks.

for on-camera light, i'd recommend the Microbeam 128 or 256 from Flolight:

you want something you can diffuse and spread out as a fill. i've never liked the look of typical on-camera lights that have a very narrow spot-focused beam, especially in dark scenes.

with the hmc150 you don't need tons of super bright light, you just want to bring up the overall levels enough to get a good shot.

for on-camera shotgun mic, i'm really happy with the Audio Technica AT875. its conveniently short so it fits on the camera well without getting in your shots and it picks up great audio for a very decent price.

for wireless lav kits, lotsa people dig the sennheiser G2 series. can't speak from experience though, i still don't own any.
