Review: Rode Newsshooter wireless XLR microphone kit TubeShooterMag 2016-11-28 | Following on from their wireless lavalier system (the "Rodelink Filmmaker" kit), Rode have introduced a similar setup for handheld stick mics such as those used by TV news reporters.This comprises a transmitter which plugs directly onto the XLR socket on the bottom of the mic, and a receiver which plugs into your camcorder.

Review: Sprolink NeoLIVE R2 HDMI video switcher / mixer TubeShooterMag 2022-07-01 | This is my overview and review of the Sprolink NeoLIVE R2 video switcher and mixer, which takes 4 HDMI inputs as sources and enables you to switch and mix them to a single output including audio and chromakey, typically used for live streaming, gaming, stage presentations and so on.If you have enjoyed this video, a tip can be donated at ko-fi.com/davidjohnsThe unit was supplied as a loan and has been returned after evaluation. No payment was made for me to produce this video, the opinions are my own honest thoughts.Note that my own pieces to camera were chromakeyed during editing; the NeoLIVE's own chromakeying was demonstrated at a specific point in the video.Full spec of the NeoLIVE R2 can be seen at http://www.sprolink.com/neoliveR2.htmlWeb: tubeshooter.co.ukTwitter: twitter.com/tubeshootermagInstagram: instagram.com/tubeshootermag

Review: MCOPlus VM-D02 & VM-P01 microphones TubeShooterMag 2020-05-07 | These products were supplied for free to me for review by MCOplus but they did not pay for the review nor did they have *any* editorial control over what I said.This is a look at and test of two compact cardioid microphones from Chinese brand MCOplus. One is designed for camcorders / phones (choosing the appropriate 3.5mm cable for that purpose) and the other plugs directly into phones that have a suitable TRRS jack.The obvious comparison is with the popular Rode VideoMicro so I did some audio samples of them both.Note: subsequent to the review, the mic holder snapped after light use, so I can’t recommend it although I still do like the concept very much.To purchase the mics:MCOplus VM-D02 USA: amzn.to/2L50keWMCOplus VM-D02 UK: amzn.to/2L4XRB4MCOplus VM-P01 USA: amzn.to/2zf3F8CMCOplus VM-P01 UK: amzn.to/2A2GHlfRode VideoMicro USA: amzn.to/3cf7AAJRode VideoMicro UK: amzn.to/3beAWxKWeb: tubeshooter.co.ukTwitter: twitter.com/tubeshootermagInstagram: instagram.com/tubeshootermag

Review: Aputure Amaran AL-M9 LED light TubeShooterMag 2016-09-29 | A review of a tiny LED light for mounting onto a video camcorder or DSLR. The Aputure Amaran AL M9 is powered by an internal rechargeable battery and provides almost two hours of light from a charge.It comes with a cold shoe mounting clamp which can also work as a screw thread mount. Two gel filters provide the ability to alter the colour temperature and a compact padded bag with two compartments is also supplied to keep it in.We very much like this light; it's very useful for vlogging as well as handheld lighting in tight spaces - and it's not at all expensive.The light was provided to us for free by Aputure but they had no editorial control over the review.To buy the AL-M9, please consider using our link below as we get a small commission to help keep the videos coming.

First Look: Panasonic AG-DVX200 4K fixed-lens camcorder TubeShooterMag 2015-09-11 | We were amongst a small group of bloggers invited to a Panasonic event at central London to show off and have a quick preview of the new AG-DVX200.It's a "run and gun" 4K camcorder with a micro 4/3rds sensor but a fixed (13x) lens. So it's a sort of ENG camcorder for 4K.It does also feature V-Log and CineLike gamma profiles though, so coupled with the sensor you can get quite cinematic with it.We had about half an hour to go out on the streets and test it out, so it's a bit of an overview rather than a full review but we hope to get our hands on the final unit for a few days soon.Published by www.tubeshooter.co.ukwww.twitter.com/tubeshootermagwww.facebook.com/tubeshootermag

Why connecting pro XLR mics to camcorders / DSLRs isnt as straightforward as you might think. TubeShooterMag 2014-03-22 | Connecting professional XLR microphones to consumer level camcorders or DSLR cameras is fraught with potential problems. Many people seem to assume they can just wire an XLR to 3.5mm jack plug and all should be well - but it won't! In this video, I briefly explain why and how to properly connect the two.Published by www.tubeshooter.co.ukwww.facebook.com/tubeshootermagwww.twitter.com/tubeshootermag

Review: Rode VideoMic GO (vs VideoMic Pro) TubeShooterMag 2014-01-06 | This is a review and test of Rode's low-cost entry-level camcorder and DSLR microphone, the VideoMic GO. It includes a comparison with both a camcorder's own internal microphones and the more expensive VideoMic Pro.PLEASE NOTE: I do not have a list of all the cameras that the mic works with. If your camera or camcorder provides "plug in power" then the mic should work. If you are unsure, then it's best to check with Rode directly as they are more likely to have a list of compatible cameras and camcorders.If you'd like to buy any of these mics, please consider using our Amazon affiliate link, this helps us keep the reviews coming:New Rode Videomic Pro: http://amzn.to/1Ty7Zz5Old Rode VideoMic Pro: http://amzn.to/1BcB0tAVideomic GO: http://amzn.to/1BcAVGdThe link for the Videomic Pro is: http://amzn.to/1BcB0tAIncidentally you can watch our other review of this mic at http://youtu.be/Owh5oJRATw0And don't forget to read our review as well, at http://tubeshooter.co.uk/2013/11/28/review-rode-videomic-goPublished by www.tubeshooter.co.ukwww.twitter.com/tubeshootermagwww.facebook.com/tubeshootermag
