you know if its Video 101.
for personal stuff, i never use any external mics.
i just get close...im more worried about getting the moment than the
bets audio quality.

when we want better quality (work etc)...we obviously use external mics.
The wireless mic is the best for a one person interview...especially
if they are taking us on a tour.
never matters if they turn their heads and dont face the camera.
audio is crystal.

The shotgun is great when there are multiple people involved...or we
cant get a wireless mic on the person.
yes, we have a camera that takes XLR, but didnt for a long time.

Ultimately, we just try to find the simplest setup that will give us
good quality, then we focus on what the hell we're recording to make
sure its interesting to us.
