Good to see you are back.

Thanks! Trying to get more into video this year... Editing just takes me so long but I'm learning! This one was particularly bad though as I was using 4 cameras and putting clips together from all...

[@michaelreed649]

It seems like it might have been almost like you had the work of 4 videos with only one to show for it? It was a good and informative video. I loved the kids at the end. It was a good personal touch. My favorite was when Isabella asked if you're "really going to leave the camera?" Too funny. FYI I am going to get a Davis & Sanford from your suggestion. I just don't know what size. Being 6'4" also and needing the height but not needing the tripod to be carried in the bag, I don't know if for a rookie, the somewhat heavier and longer tripod would be better. I plan wildlife photography and some attempts at landscape. I also would love your input on how the BackLight has been treating you. I have my selection narrowed down to a Backlight (I love the features), a FirstLight (It has an adjustable harness up to 23 inch torso and is said to be more comfortable but the features are not really there), OR a Clik Elite Escape (great features as well). If you know anything that might help with this decision, I would appreciate the input and advice.

+Michael Reed yeah, the outtakes with the kids were too good to pass up! Glad you watched to the end! If you don't need something to go into a bag bigger might be better as a tall guy. I own two tripods, one for arch that's larger and one for travel FWIW.

What do you set the recording level to when you use the a6300 with the rode video micro?

[@qtv-1705]

Hi Ben, Just wondering what adaptor are you using for using the Rode Video Micro with the X70?

[@benjaminbjacobsen]

+InfiniticiousTV I've got these: Onetwo®2pcs Headphone Converter Adapter Gold Plated 2.5mm Male Right Angle to 3.5mm Female Socket Jack Stereo Audio Cable. www.amazon.com/dp/B01499D3CO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YkeQyb0ZY841Q I had a a "hard" one without a wire as well but the male end broke off so I'd avoid those.

the volume is really low sir did you decreased the audio settings?

[@benjaminbjacobsen]

Everything was left at the stock levels. On my computer it sounds good and borderline loud? Is it low for you on all portions or a specific combo? Thanks!

Ben Jacobsen sir I re watched the video with earbuds and it is actually normal I guess i had an issue first time watching it on my cellphone.
