Video auxillary equipment

Track and dolly

camera dolly is a wheeled cart or similar device used in filmmaking and television production to create smooth horizontal camera movements. An advantage of using this over a handheld camera is that you get a smoother shot. However, a disadvantage would be that it may retract your movements as its bolted to the track only. 






Stead-icam

The steadi-cam is a camera stabiliser mount for motion pictures cameras that mechanically isolates it from the operator's movement. It allows for a smooth shot, even when moving quickly over an uneven surface. An advantage of using this instead of a handheld is that allows your shots to be smoother and therefrom more professional. However, a disadvantage is that some shots need to look shaky, for instance, a POV shot of someone running, 






Tripod

In camera work, tripod is a portable three-legged frame, used as a platform for supporting the weight and maintaining the stability of a camera shot. An advantage of using a tripod is that it allows you to fully focus on creating the perfect shot and not on holding the camera. However, a disadvantage is that it may restrict your movements, as to move the camera, the whole tripod needs to be moved. 






H1N

H1N is a portable, digital voice recorder. This is used to gather sound recording in a portable device. An advantage over using a the in camera sound recorder is that it means your sound is recorder separate and possibly clearer sounding audio. A disadvantage over using the in camera sound recorder is that its more equipment you need. 


Shotgun Microphone 

A shotgun microphone is connected directly to the camera. A advantage of using this over the in camera microphone is that its will allow your audio to be more professional as it will be clearer. However, a disadvantage of using a shotgun microphone over the in camera microphone is that its more equipment you need.
