When you transition from vacation videos and birthdays to something a little more serious, your first frustration will be audio. And if you ask the "pros," they are going to recommend fancy super-cardioid DC biased condenser XLR mics with 48V phantom power starting at about $1,500. Too much money and too complex - audio is both much easier to understand and harder to master than you'd think. So make sure your camcorder has a mic jack, check out this video and get ready to take the first step into professional audio for video. It's a thousand mile journey, so bring comfortable shoes!

    Good question - one I can't quite answer in a comment. Plus, audio is still my weakest area - I struggle with it on every shoot. However, just taking the first step off the camera gets you 90% to where you want to be: it's the last 10% to perfection that is really really hard.

    I was actually surprised at how this video clarified basic fundamentals about audio. I envy those people who can hear the slightest ambient noise and know how to 'fix' it in the field. I have so much to learn!
