This was a microphone stand that we was researching. This was the best one out of the three i found. It was slick with fluid head movement and effective panning. Also the head was smooth and easy to remove but at the same time was very good at securing the camera at the top.

Equipment analysis sheet (A02)


This was the recording camera i picked out of the three i searched up. It was the best one as it had a quality camera for recording with external features like it's HD. Also it was a canon camera so it was guaranteed to be a good device. It comes with it's own microphone so people can be heard when their speaking whilst it's recording. The only weaknesses was that it's fragile and expensive.

This was a small video recorder that i was searching up. It was the most reasonable out of the three i was researching as it was small and portable. It had a lens cover to keep the screen safe and also it has a touch screen with internal memory. Furthermore its cheap and because it's Sony so it should be quality.

Disadvantages: an external microphone is needed to pick up better sound as the camera is small even though it has a built-in microphone. furthermore it may pick up other sounds like weather conditions.
