Out in the van for some test video...

 

Joan got me a clip that will hold a phone - she was thinking I could use it to get video while clipped to a guitar.  It will also work great holding an action camera while clipped to a sun visor in the van.  We had planned to get the van out for some exercise today, so I brought along the new Sony a6700 and the DJI Action 4... I wanted to try editing them together in one clip.

The audio will be better when I get a wireless adapter to connect the DJI Mic 2 wireless mics to the new Sony.  Today I shot just using the internal mics in each of the cameras.  Ideally, it would be nice to use two mics with the DJI Action 4 camera, since that will be the one looking back at us... and not have to do the extra work to sync up audio from two cameras (which is what I did today).

This video is not about anything (hmm - sounds like a Seinfeld episode), other than a test of the equipment.  The two mics work good with my iPhone, but the field of view from that isn't wide enough to get the two front seat occupants in the van in the frame.  So, an action camera is a good option.

Here's the video...


 This will not be for "public viewing," (it is "unlisted") other than here on the blog, since there is no pretty scenery, fun roads, or any kind of event... just us, out in the van, messing with cameras.
