BEST AUDIO SETUP For Sony a6400 a6000 a5100 RX100 V VI - Shure LensHopper VP83F

[@buildingsheriff]

TBH, Jason, I didn't think the audio with the Shure mic was so much better. I think I'd always use a lav mic. FCPX syncs automatically too. It's a piece of cake. Great videos by the way.

[@JasonVong]

Thanks man! I found FCPX to be slower than PluralEyes when I was syncing long and multi clips from weddings.

[@UnliAhon]

been using ECM-GZ1M for quite a while now, audio is very dependent on how the pins sits on the hotshoe mount. sometimes I get an audio with missing channel or total garbage audio, its a very sensitive setup, little knocks on the mic and your audio is done and you cant know it until you check the footages on your computer

[@Luannita12]

I wish I saw this 3 years ago when I first got the a5100 because my professor would always take off grade points in my old video production class due to poor audio quality 😭. Oh well, I’ve already come to terms with it and still use it for personal videos, only I have external wind noise mufflers and try to record in quiet areas lol. Great video as usual!

[@JasonVong]

Doh! :(

[@camouflage_fn]

Thanks for the suggestion of the microphone extension (bracket) , 2 years later and still helpful ! Link still worked ! Great video !

[@GallaghersGrub]

I use a Zoom H1 with a lapel mic with my a5100. Syncing in Premiere Pro is very easy and for me has been completely accurate. Great vid man!

[@huongnguyenntn]

Thank you so much for this video! I used to have the a5100 and currently I have the Sony rx100 VI. I haven’t ran into many problems with audio but it’s nice to know i have options to enhance it. Love your vids and work!! Also, you and vivienne are #couplegoals. 💕

[@danieldougan269]

The built-in mic on my Zoom H1N recorder is decent. And you can always attach other mics to it. So, that's another way to go. You can also plug a lav mic into a smartphone and have it record the audio.

[@yrn_leon7472]

Here a year later, thank you very much for this video! Instantly subbed

[@thatnewcameraguy8702]

Omg! Jason, that could be the answer I’ve been looking for!!! I use an a6000 so I feel this video on so many levels! I’ve been thinking about using my iPhone to record audio, but this seems a lot better. Well, now that I realize the price, maybe I will stick with the cheaper option. I am just a beginner anyways!

[@JasonVong]

Hahaha! If I still a similar and cheaper option like this, will let you guys know!

[@NickGranville]

Could use a zoom H1 for this also. Or better yet, get a camera with a mic input.

[@ChrisParayno]

Exactly, y doesn't just get laved up.

[@NickGranville]

ISLANDTECH PTX it’s not always practical to lav up. I find myself in many filming situations where there isn’t time or it’s inappropriate to do so.

[@NicoAtienza]

PluralEyes is on sale at B&H for $180 (normally $300) for the next 9 hours ! I think I'm going to pull the trigger after watching other reviews. Thanks Jason!!

[@JasonVong]

DO IT! It's seriously one of the best investments!

[@CarlosFranco-sc6mc]

Hi Jason, i am from Spain, need to choose a camera and two lenses to shoot a wedding. The men is black and the women is white. The camera options are Sony a6300, Sony a 6500, Sony a 7III or Sony a7sII. The lenses are Sony 16-55 f3.5/5.6, Sony 28-70 f3.5/5.6, Sony 24-70 f4, Sony 70-200 f4, Sony 28-70 f3.5/5.6Zeiss 55 f1.4, Sony 85 F1.8 or Sony 28 f2. Thanks for all and God bless you.

[@manueldelacalle3657]

Hi! I think you should shoot with a 1300d. Its the best camera in dark scenes. Its like red dragon without 6k and 120 fps.Its quite expensive but you will be like Walbeck . Good luck!

[@PatrickChang78]

Great content as usual Jason. Don't forget the option of recording to your cell phone using a cheap lav mic and then syncing later. You always have your phone with you. Of course you'll need a headphone to lightning or USB-C adapter. #RipMicJack

[@JasonVong]

Oh yeah! I should have included that! Rode released a lightning mini shot gun mic that I might explore as well

[@pinoyfitnesstv447]

Does these microphones are suitable for Sony A5000 ?

[@IMDABROWN]

Wondering if a Zoom F1 would be a better alternative? You have the option to various mics to meet your environment.

[@JasonVong]

Oh man I forgot about that! It's very modular!

[@TexpatOTG]

I agree that the Tascam DR10 or Zoom F1 is a more versatile product. Both models can be adapted to nearly any microphone.

[@canucklehead28]

Great video Jason!

[@JasonVong]

Thanks Stephen!

[@CanadianCaliber]

Hello. I'm having issues with my audio. I'm using SARAMONIC and rode wireless go but audio is very static, sounds awful. Sony repair said its only recording one channel. Do you know or have heard of this? Is this somewhere in the settings? Thanks!

[@tommy-vella]

Nice setup! The a5100 is still an underrated camera im my opinion. The Zoom F1-SP is a great and compact external recorder with micro sd aswell and it is so versatile because you can change up the capsules and even connect xlr if you need to. And it costs "only" 199$. I have a question not really regarding this video but can you tell me if the eye af works with the new sigma 56mm? :)

[@JasonVong]

yep it does!

[@tommy-vella]

@@JasonVong Thanks a lot! It seems to be the perfect lens then :)

[@FoodieQueen]

My Sony a6500 Camera is not recording audio via any external Mic 1. I have googled & Checked all possible videos suggesting Audio level adjustment etc but none shows me any option where I can exclusively choose to record via external mic 2. The mics that I tried are: Fifine wireless, BOYA wired one and many other local ones too even - All these mics are working fine with my other cameras & phones and recording perfectly 3. When i record audio via camera then the display bars flicker indicating successful audio recording, but the moment I plug in the external Mic the display bars are at zero for R and L channels. - they do not flicker at all 4. Mine is a new camera bought in Feb 2019 5. Please advise me as it is impacting my work a lot - I am a youtube Vlogger and there is lot of background noise in India so recording via the external mic is a necessity for me

[@kristianruvino]

One question: my rode mic picks up noise from the a6500 body when the mic is mounted on the hot shoe. Do you know how a can fix that? Or get around it? It’s so frustrating.😫

[@JasonVong]

What kind of noise? Handling noise?

[@GEOFFYCOLLECTION]

I have the 6600. Any idea why when I put the camera in manual to record the video I can’t see the audio levels anymore it only works when I’m in the film mode but when I go on manual I can’t go in the audio levels??

[@ThaigersDen]

I have a sony hx400v will a Sony external microphone work to some extent? I know they are not completely compatible but is it so much that I will notice? I shoot outside.

[@herokme0]

If you had to choose between the a7iii internal mic but the freedom to shoot in other places or using a mic like the blue yeti but be confined to a desk, which would you choose?

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Can you talk about how the a7iii video quality is still good in crop mode. I cant find a video to explain it 😫

[@JasonVong]

Still good!

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

[@aone7903]

Hello I’m new to your channel. I’ve a question what if we link Sony a5100 with iPhone, would it be possible to record HD video and use external mic? Waiting for your suggestion

[@mgtdordie]

In dire need of help. All footage in any dark situation that isn't straight daylight I get horrible fuzzy noise in footage..I expose correctly and in post the clips look fuzzy/grainy.. how can I get better low light video? A6500+18-105f4 +eoshd pp. PS, I love your videos keep it up!!

[@SaySo28]

Hey Jason, Which mic can i buy for the a5100 camera, as an external that will work good for vlogging? Only reason, i purchased the A5100 camera was b/c of your videos, so now i'm trying to figure out what things i need.. thx

[@Pharesm]

Hey Jason, I see you made this video in 2018... I guess in 2021, The ZOOM F2-BT beats the sure solution...

[@thechrisyoung7717]

[@andrelousada]

zoom F1 - It works for me!

[@tony_cgivfx]

Sweet, I have an a5100 as well but really considering just getting another camera and using my a5100 as a family loaner in case anyone else wants to snap photos. The investment of $300 for something I'd have to sync up and use batteries on would be better invested in a camera with a mic input I think, especially if I also want all the latest features. Great video though, wish I knew about this sooner, might have actually got one! Subbed, happy I stumbled onto this channel. :)

Hey jason, will this shure mic work for the A7iii? What mics would you recommend if I wanted to shoot a documentary? I'm mainly looking for a shotgun mic or something I can attach to my camera as I run and gun. I learned about the Shure, but since I'm an audio noob, I don't know it it would work on a7iii or not. Thank you!

[@RockWILK]

Can't set the audio input levels in manual mode on the a6400? It seems to be greyed out. Am I missing something???????????

[@JonathanBarrow]

a5200 would be an interesting release along with the a7000. Put a mic input on it and this set up would be awesome. Thoughts?

[@JasonVong]

Yeah I would like a mic input somewhere! Even if we still don't get a hot shoe

[@Planner_lifestyle]

Hi jason how about look like rode mic pro plus? With sonyA6400 ? Isnt look crazy big to that camera?

[@scottschultz7645]

Thanks for the video. Question, could you do a video on transferring xavc-s files from A6300 to iPad. So far the only way i can get my 4k video from the A6300 to my iPad (Lumafusion) editing program is to download them to my Mac. Then airdrop them to the iPad or save them to Photos and open them up on the iPad. Thanks

[@RiseHigh]

Hi Jason ! First of all, thanks a lot for your work to help us to get better quality in our videos ! I've seen the *a5100 in the thumbnail and i was so pumped* ! But this is not what i expected because for me the purpose of the a5100 is to be able to have a very tiny vlog setup with a sony apsc camera and having the mic like this and have to sync in another soft is not what i want to do. BUT it is an amazing solution if i want a really better audio on the fly. For now the best solution i have found is to *clear the audio in post* , and it is quite nice ! Here is a video from Cody blue where he epxlain how he gets great audio from the gopro and i've tried this on the a5100, the results are amazing ! (as long as you have sone wind muff on top of the a5100 in outdoor situation, like i do all the time in my videos) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIbSpptrbMR2p9k& Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing, feel free to come to my channel if you want to see some *Outdoor Adventure videos and say Hi* !
