[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 1068420, member: 34"] I think a lapel mic is the best option for sound. I believe you can still get very good video from a cell phone if you can control a few factors: 1) Lighting. Light must be sufficient and uniform across all areas of interest. It is also best if there are no changes in light intensity as scenes change like when you are moving around. 2) Focus. Switch to manual focus. Focus hunting can be a problem if in auto mode; sometimes the phone will just give up and stay out of focus. 3) Dedicated camera operator. Someone who can spot when things go wrong and make corrections on-the-fly. Unfortunately, the good value vlogging cameras still tend to be expensive here, but I think it is something to shoot for, anyway. [/QUOTE]
