Hi all.
I'm new here and not a huge natural sound guy because 99% of my videos are =
to music ("Johann Strauss II" mostly, my father loved it).
I bought a new video camera not long ago (Panasonic HC-X1000), so I will be=
doing a lot more videos with sound, both instructional (I have a Sennheise=
r ew 112 & 122-p G3), and natural (not sure on mic yet).
Here is my dilemma. I'm a horse breeder and sometimes I get the opportunity=
to get a bit of video that would be a lot better with its natural sounds.
I'm sure you can imagine this would be better with sound!
(my sister took this bit of video and panicked at 0:42 )

Now I'm not sure what would be the best type of mic's for getting the sound=
in this sort of thing. Would a shotgun mic pick up the sound from a good d=
istance and how would it sound to each side as they went past?
About the only way I think another person could test it would be with 2 veh=
icles coming toward them.
I would do trial and error myself, but living in Australia I don't have a r=
eturn option if I don't like something I buy, I still haven't bought a shot=
gun mic for this reason, so I have to get it right the first time. I wish I=
was made of money, but I'm not.
I hope someone could give me a little help.
Regard's
Phil
