I have been helping on some no-budget movie projects. Although, like
everyone else, I would love to do camera, DP, ect. But the audio seems
rather open. Some of the productions that I have helped with use the
on camera mic. So I have gotten together with some friends and we have
put together a kit (shotgut mic, painter pole converted to a boom
pole, a lavaliere mic. I am considering getting a Zoom H4 to add to
the kit for recording when I can't be cabled to the camera (like in a
shot with a moving camera.) Yes, I read that the H4, and other under
$1000 recorders have noise problems, but still this must be better
that using the on camera mic. Also the H4 looks to be on clearance
sale ($219 at B&H) as the next model seems to be out (H4N).

Anyway, anyone have experience using the Zoom H4 for low budget movie
work that they would like to provide?

Thank you,
Henry
