I have shot multicam concerts locking up timecode by beaming wireless audio SMPTE timecode to all cameras and recording it on Ch 2, but I can tell you it was a big hassle and a waste of time.
My recommendation for multi-camera shoots is to either:
1. Use TOD (Free Run) Timecode
TOD (Time of Day) timecode is a switchable option on some recent camcorders. With this option, you can synchronize multiple cameras, then each camera can start or stop at will, and the timecode always reflects the current time, not the tape position, so the …
In the DVeStore we’re seeing a lot of folks making the right choice and stepping up to better quality audio gear. Think about it, you just spent thousands on a high quality camera that produces a truly exquisite picture. Next you show a few people the great project you’re working on. They say, “It looks great, but I’m having a hard time following the story because I can barely hear anyone.” You knew it, but secretly hoped no one would call you on it. It’s a tough lesson to learn when you go back to review the …
This is the most amazing mic comparison on the internet! Listen to a variety of shotguns and compare the sound quality right on this page!
A good quality shotgun mic will pickup great sound a few feet directly in front of the mic while at the same time rejecting sound from the sides. This is great for picking out just the sounds you want and is the most desirable and common microphone for DV filmmakers.
A question most new camcorder owners have is, “Which shotgun mic should I buy?” This usually happens after they shot some awesome footage, but later found that …

Sennheiser MKH-416
One of the best shotgun mics on the planet! Very, very smooth sounding. Used commonly in feature films and for Voice Overs that you hear in radio commercials. Pick up pattern is very focused.

Veteran DPs (directors of photography) will shoot camera tests in advance of filming a project - trying different lenses and different camera settings to achieve the visual style and effect they want for the film. Rolling some tape well in advance of your shoot, in one of your locations or somewhere similar and experimenting will give you a huge advantage on the day of the shoot.
This means you won't be burning time experimenting with camera settings, filters, and mics on the actual shoot- just concentrating on getting the framing and performance you want. This will lead
