The audio quality of your videos is really clear. Are you using a shotgun mic attached to the top of your camera, or a mic under your jacket?

Actually, I am just using the H4n on a mic stand just out of frame.

Can you make a break down of the rig in this video. It looks amazing similar to the stubling and ultraport.

Hey Caleb, great How To! Really useful! I’m wondering if you could do a quick little video where you show some different rig setups you like?
EDIT: I just read the comments! I’m really excited for this episode!

Not sure about camera compatibility, but Manfrotto has an Architectural Anti-Twist plate with a lip on top & RC2 QR plate underneath. At B&H: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/554160-REG/Manfrotto_200PLARCH_14_200PLARCH_14_Architectural_Anti_Twist_Quick.html
