Hi all, as per my title, I am looking for a good tripod that anyone might have found for a reasonable price (say up to $100) and external mic! Need these for vlogging and short films (lens' would be great too)
My camera is a Canon 80D so anything that is compatible with that!!
Thanks :)
Thanks Allan! A lot of people have told me to buy second hand lens off of Gumtree…I've always been hesitant but might have to!
I'm a media student so keeping it up is not the problem, just need some new equipment!
I'm thinking nifty fifty for short films or is that too outdated now? All I've got is the standard kit lens so far which is alright but I need some wide angle lens… sigma is just too darn expensive
The nifty fifty will never be outdated IMO. The only downside is there's no stabilisation so handheld shots are difficult. Even still, it's the best value for money Canon lens you'll find.
the TAKSTAR SGC-598 has very good reviews when compared to the Rode mics. And it's only roughly $38 depending on whether you buy from Amazon or Ebay
Standard vlog setup would be 80D + 10-18mm STM Lens + Rode Videomic Pro + Joby Gorillapod
Lens is about $300 second hand
Microphone is $200ish brand new
Tripod is under $80 for the 3KG version
Keep an eye on gumtree as lots of people wanted to vlog but couldn't keep it up
