I didn't have much time to check out the gh4 so far, a lot of work hinders me, going too far into research for each little thing myself, that's why I hoped I could get a little support from you hear. Mostly I'll record video and sound on myself at the same time, not sure if I'll have an assistant from time to time. My idea until now is to record in 4k, maybe in 24fps should be alright I guess. The shooting will be for a 5 video monitor/large flat screen panels installation.

My equipment so far: GH4 with kit lens 12-35mm

• Voigtlander Nocton 17.5mm 0.95f with UV and ND filters
• Voigtlander Nocton 42.5mm 0.95f with UV and ND filters
• One SD card SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB 280 MB/s (I'll have another one like that)
• only one battery so far
• trolley case

I'll definitely need a second battery or the battery grip, is it a good thing to have?

• Sound Recording device
• Microphone (one or two? maybe too much to handle!)

• Wind jammer (boom?)

• Any experiences with 'Rycote Zoom H5 Audio Kit' or 'Tascam DR-60DmkII 4-Channel Portable Recorder with Rode NTG2 Condenser Shotgun Mic Kit'?

• Tripod mainly to use as proper stand in any condition, not sure if I'll need a very heavy one for doing pans?

• Rig / steady cam? I actually would prefer shooting with a rig/steady cam to make pans with a heavy tripod. Follow focus! Which one?

• A super-portable extra light like dedo light!

• SSD discs for backups?

• A Mattebox?

And everything should be of proper quality, lightweight one-person-solutions, possible to get through the airports O.K..

Thanks, I appreciate your hints, ideas, experiences and comments ! kolinko

I've owned this for just over a year and haven't used it as much as I had imagined. It's an excellent quality 3-channel field mixer, ideal for professional audio or video production. It runs for hours on 3AA batteries, has 3 inputs, and two outputs.

Included is: XL-14 headphone extension cable, 3.5mm>1/4 inch; product registration card; setup menu reference card; setup menu reference card; rubber bumpers

For a detailed review and overview of all the features, check out this review: wildlife-sound.org/equipment/SD302.html

I have 2 MXL FR-300 mics and a Marantz PMD 661 recorder, which is a nice combo for general audio recording (voice, sound on set, ambient,..). But the MXL mics have a frequency spectrum of only 50Hz-18kHz and there is some sound below 50 Hz. Especially the things you "feel" in a cinema are in the 20-30 Hz range.

How is that part recorded or is it all done in post? And would you recommend an additional mic like http://www.mxlmics.com/microphones/live/Cube for on set recording?

• The 664 has six ultra-low noise, high-dynamic-range analog inputs.
• The 664 can send its main left/right outputs to three cameras simultaneously.
• The 664 can record each of its inputs and its four output buses, for 10 record tracks. Recordings are saved to CompactFlash and SD cards. Recordings are either 16- or 24-bit Broadcast WAV files with extensive metadata.
• With the mixer's built-in, rock-steady Ambient time code generator, multiple devices can operate in synchronization.
