Sennheiser Profile Wireless – a 32-bit float all-in-one wireless audio system with two transmitters, to which you can connect lav mics, and a receiver that can attach to your hotshoe and easily connect to your camera. Another approach would be to get yourself a mini field recorder, like the Zoom F3, and see if you could get a line-out of the audio desk at the wedding – assuming they are using a mic and have this option. But it’s best never to solely rely on this. I use a mix of cameras, from a Canon EOS R6 to a Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K, and often hire in help who use a variety of brands such as Sony or Nikon. What would be a good colour grading and editing pipeline to combine everything? Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve will be your best friend here. In your colour management settings, using something

The newer S1 range does however offer some substantial improvements, and if you were looking for that next step up then the S1 II would be the better recommendation for someone looking to shoot just video. I film weddings with a mirrorless camera and shotgun mic on the hotshoe for audio. But lots of couples want the speeches recorded in full. What’s a good solution for recording the audio from all the speech makers? It needs to be not too expensive and fast to set up. I would recommend two approaches. First is to get something like the
How do I correctly expose Log footage without using zebras or
waveform monitors?
Most modern cameras will have some form of exposure tool – usually zebras – on which you can then set a value to match the IRE value of middle grey for your chosen Log curve. If your camera lacks zebras, waveforms or false colour it will be tricky to expose accurately, so your best option would be to get an external monitor that can provide these tools.
