Great stuff Kevin, we are still murdering Ron Raines Reel by the "Coigachmeister"! I'll try and get them to do another one. Expensive but a Glidecam HD2000 is your answer for steady...

Happy Birthday! Have a fantastic day and thanks for all the great work you do.

I was only made aware of this thread today by Joel, it was no big deal, just a thank you for all the help and tips to a novice really, I can't do my Shippey's justice to the way Joel McDermott can...

The book is great and the CD's are great, look forward to the new one.....

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with external mics for cameras (Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Sony, etc). As a stopgap, I have bought a Nikon P7000 with a 3.5 jack input for an external stereo...
