Yes, the transmitter pairs directly with the Pocket 3, no receiver needed. @kofiboateng if a second angle is genuinely on the cards then timecode starts to matter and I'd lean RØDE, or look at the…

I've got the Mic 2 and use it for exactly this sort of thing, band interviews, sat down, two people. It's great. But for sit-downs the thing that matters more than either brand is getting the…

Also get off full auto. Lock shutter at 1/50 for 24p, open the aperture right up, then let ISO float with a cap so you can see what's actually happening. If it's still pinned at the cap, it's a…

Then you're exactly who it's for. It's a big jump in price and lens cost though. Rent one for a weekend before you commit. And look at the lens cost before the body, the R50 V lenses will work but…

Agree with that. Rumoured cameras don't shoot anything.

Interesting for stills but I'd want the full video spec before getting excited. OM never really chased video on the small bodies, so I'm not holding my breath for open gate or anything. That said, a…
