I bought my 70D with the primary aim of taking photos, but specifically chose it because I thought it would handle videos reasonably well. I'm trying to get an idea of which things I really need and which I don't. It wouldn't be anything special other than family/friends' events.
Things I think I need:
- external mic - I guess the built in one isn't as good as a directional microphone
- some sort of shoulder support - because it's unsteady (and probably) tiring to handhold a camera and try and video for more than a few mins
- some sort of suitable tripod - the only tripod I have is a dinky manfrotto one. Is there a good tripod base I could use for both video and photos with maybe interchangeabe heads?
- maybe some external lighting - for dim/indoor areas
Is there anything else I should be considering? Any websites to look at?
