GH1 Audio Choices...

[NorBro]

Hello,

I use the GH1 mostly for fun. I always edit my videos with music...but the time has come where I will need good audio from subjects.

Note: I do not have the little microphone for the Gh1.

As of now, I've done research on the Beachtek, Juickedlink, and Zoom devices/adapters.

I am looking for some opinions from all you professionals here on which is the best one for my use..

My use:

I will be shooting a video that will need audio about once every 2 months. Most of the video will be just gathering soundbites from people on the streets, indoors, etc. I really don't want to deal with something too fancy and expensive as it's truly not for me.

With that said, I think the beachtek is the best choice...just out of curiosity though, how in the world will I be able to monitor the levels? I hope a pair of meters pop up on the LCD...

Thank you for any suggestions/input.

First of all you are in the wrong forum.
Try the GH1 hardware forum.
As for monitoring the levels on the camera's LCD I don't think it is possible.
On the other hand, I think Beachtek has some meters built-in, so you can watch those.

Good luck.
