Need suggestion for audio gear
Hi everyone, I’m new to this community.
I’m a solo filmmaker currently working mostly on corporate shoots. Recently, I suggested to my agency that we invest in a proper sound recording setup. Since the gear will mostly stay with me during shoots, I’ll also get the chance to practice and learn sound recording more seriously.
The main reason I want a versatile setup is because, in the future, I also want to make short films. So I’m looking for something that works well for corporate interviews/dialogue recording as well as capturing ambience and atmospheric sounds for films.
Right now, I’m confused between the Zoom F3 and the Zoom H5 Studio, but I’m open to other recommendations too. My budget is a little tight, so I’m trying to choose something that gives good long-term value.
Also looking for microphone suggestions that are good for both ambience recording and dialogue/interview work.
Budget around :- $ 1000 for both can extend 200 more
Would really appreciate your advice and experiences. Thanks!
