what's going on guys johnathan here with TLD got a vlog style video and there's a reason why which I get to in a minute rocking the Bulls hats being hopeful that the NBA 2011-2012 lockout will finally come to an end because if there is no basketball I might be too depressed to make videos anyways part of this video actually is experiments that I put together the Canon ELPH 300 HS take a deep breath because it has a long title but the tuna dollar point shoot has become kind of the vlogging camera of YouTube Fortuner bucks 1080p video recording amazing quality for the price it's what I'm shooting on right now the problem is I know once solder knows best repeated kind of spread like wildfire David Franco pick one up forever g5 but the problem was is the audio was lacking so that was one of the negatives about the camera was the audio was so-so so I started thinking how could I put together fix for this obviously there's no hot shoe or anything to mount on the camera there's no audio input so you can't use an external mic so I figured with the zoom h1 I looked and kind of put together a little mini rig to kind of set this up so I'm using this rights now it's kind of switchable you can use hands there's a little camera handle on the bottom of this thing so that was about 695 I think I'm being a CH photo that's mounted on the top of that is actually a flash bracket so that's holding everything together so the Canon actually mounts on there and then to the left of that to my left you can see there is a little hot shoe adapter has hot shoe mounts that's where the zoom h1 is mounted on be a quarter inch threaded adapter the whole cost together was about 30 bucks for the rig handle again was about 7 bucks the flash bracket was about 9 bucks I believe and the little mounts for the hot shoe - zoom was about 12 bucks on Amazon so I'll post links to all those down below now an added benefit to this alongside the improved audio which is going to be an extra step because you have to sync at post production with that with the handle it should actually help stabilize it so let's go ahead and walk around swing it hope I'm not making you guys dizzy so I'm walking forward I'll probably try to splice in some shots of me just holding the camera free handedly not using the handle however you want to call it and have a comparison of the audio so this is the canons audio built-in not so good now snap of the finger this is the zoom h1 which is about maybe a foot and a half away from me so hopefully it sounds better we got a little bit of wind going on I got a little pop wind filter on the zoom h1 so hopefully that's helping as well and maybe you can hear that on the cannon when I did a test so other than that if you guys like this again I'll post a kind of recap of all the products parts that I used in the description down below kind of with some details on a guide again it was only about 30 bucks to put this together another benefit is this will actually mount on to your tripod stands the handle obviously so you're not necessarily I use this outside but I thought it would be cool to be kind of like an ultimate vloggers kind of setup to improve the audio so again feel free to subscribe you guys like to figure a thumbs up share it there's a click to tweet button down below and I'll see you guys later
