Rattling leaves on a windy day, today in the Green Heart of Holland.
ProRes HDR recording, with wireless stereo sound using Røde wireless GO II on iPhone 16 Pro, filming with the Main (wide) camera, switching automatically to macro mode with the Ultra Wide camera. The Røde transmitter mics have the default furry windscreen mounted, and are packed in furry windscreen bags … hanging next to each other in this tree … as shown briefly towards the end of this 1 minute clip at around 47 seconds on the timeline.

Video Review #4 ProRes HDR from iPhone 16 Pro & Wireless Stereo • 20241116

Short film of highland cattle , on a pretty windy grey day, today in the Green Heart of Holland.

Focusing on ProRes HDR recording on iPhone 16 Pro , and also a first test recording wireless externally stereo audio using the Røde wireless GO II system.

I previously researched stereo recording with the Røde wireless ME system, with no success (not published).

Video shot in HDR-HLG 4K 25p Apple ProRes HQ format with main camera at 2x setting of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and stored internally.
Edited with Final Cut Pro (FCP) 10.8.1 in a ProRes HQ – 4K 25p HDR project (Wide Gamut HDR – Rec. 2020 HLG). No color grading. Some of the clips cropped.
Audio externally recorded with Røde wireless GO II, using 2 layers of furry windscreen. Overall gain +24 dB in FCP, and next lower frequencies reduced. Upload (HEVC) 4K at YouTube, HD at Vimeo.

I also examined again the landscape today, that I filmed 2 days ago (also a grey day) in HDR-HLG , especially the colors of the grass, and concluded that the iPhone’s ProRes HDR (wide gamut HLG) footage best represents the actual colors , both when processed in HDR and in SDR color space — as compared with the Apple Log footage as processed in SDR color space, and uploaded yesterday.

Full Review Sony B1M vs Sennheiser MKE440 Microphone | 20221213

Chapters
0:00:00 TEST #1 – solo testing outside of the Sony ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone in wind
00:24:17 TEST #2 – Comparison of the Sony ECM-B1M digital shotgun camera microphone vs the Sennheiser MKE 440 stereo shotgun microphone – in 5 short episodes .

This full review starts with a solo test of the Sony ECM-B1M digital shotgun camera microphone, focussing on wind noise resistance, more on the windscreen, and distance – using both the supplied Sony fuzzy wind screen, plus – in addition as a second layer – another different fuzzy wind screen (from an old Canon DM-100 microphone). Next, follows a side-by-side comparison outside of the Sony ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone and the Sennheiser MKE 440 stereo shotgun microphone. Cameras are the Sony A7S Mark II (with the Sennheiser), and Sony A7 Mark III with Sony microphone. There is a lot of redundancy in my text because this wasn’t planned as one long review – and talking was mainly to both take notes of the settings and as a sound test ;) Compilation of 6 review episodes published Sep 2019.
