Hello all! Thanks for the great resource here. It was this site, along with a visit to NAB2007, that helped me choose a new camera!
So.... I'm buying a new AG-HVX200, along with a Firestore FS-100, and some other miscellaneous stuff. I already have a Sennheiser ME66 microphone with a nice shoe-mount that I use with my existing XL2s. I also have a little Sennheiser ew100 G2 camera mounted wireless mic set. I have two questions...
1. I'm interested in buying a camera mounted fill light. I'm interested in the Frezzi Micro/Mini-Fill line currently. Any advice here?
2. Assuming I do buy a Frezzi Micro-Fill, I'd like to somehow be able to mount the Frezzi and the Sennheiser (one or the other of the Sennheiser microphones, not both the shotgun and the wireless) at the same time. That, plus I will generally always be using the Firestore. What mounts/adapters/bars/etc work well with this type of setup? The camera is already ordered from B&H (that's who the company wanted to go through), but I can order additional stuff if I need to.
3. Powering it all. I only bought the base HVX200 (and the FS-100) at this point. However, if I go with the Frezzi, I'll obviously need some power. I don't have an infinite supply of money, but I'm not really poor either (isn't everyone basically in that boat here?)... I'm completely overwhelmed with all the options though. What are some good recommendations and places to start? Preferably it would be either belt/shoulder-carried or camera mounted. I need to power the camera, FS-100, and the light and that's about it.
I don't need huge run-times (an hour or so would probably do). It's mostly corporate videography type stuff so if it's a longer shoot I can usually rig up a fixed power supply. Of course, I'm also not sure if there is any way to plug in a Frezzi or how the powering on it would work at all. And same goes for the Firestore... Assuming I buy nothing extra, how does the power supply stuff on the FS-100 work?
Thanks in advance for any help you kind souls can provide, and thanks again for the fantastic resource here!
