Shot on the Sony a6500 with a Canon 35mm lens and a Sigma adaptor, this photo made for a perfect silhouette skateboard photo at the Venice Skatepark.
A working trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2013 with Canadian Humanitarian led to perhaps one of the best photos I have ever taken. Taken on a rickety carousel that led to a near vomit experience for the photographer, this photo is the culmination of a day spent with some wonderful students in the Ethiopian capitol. This image was shot on a Canon 5D Mark III with a 24-105mm F4 IS USM lens.
Here are the reasons I think this is the best system for the majority of content creators in the professional space:
Most of the popular systems now make recording into the camera from one or two wireless mic transmitters relatively simple.
What used to weigh over 5 pounds and cost $500-700 dollars is now a little larger than a credit card and weighs mere grams. 4TB SSD drives now pack enough punch in a small package to be a serious tool in mobile video production.
if you had to sum up the difference between the two similar looking mics it would come down to these two features:
The Wireless Go II can record audio as well as transmit audio, and works with up to two microphones.
The Wireless ME can record up to 3 microphones, but has no onboard recording option.
I think when considering your first lighting kit for your camera, whatever the brand may be, you first need to determine the main application for the lighting.
