Hey guys,
No worries Collin, I'm 100% with eveything you said (I've actually seen your video before, very interesting!).

Can't argue that, above everything the very most important thing is microphone placement. Can't argue either that distance is crutial or that a post syncro would be the way to go. Oh, btw Scott, I'm no fan of the Auralex, not because the product isn't good, it's just too expensive for what it brings to the table (my opinion).
I'm just trying to bring some cost effective ideas that would enhance the quality of the audio without having Scott setup for 15 minutes before recording, moving the Mic around everytime he changes his working position and/or having to work another 10-15 minutes or so to post sycronizing image to sound. What I want is LOTS OF VIDEOS ;D ;D I actually don't care if it sound distant and "bathroomish" I've worked too long with state of the art and awesome vintage technology and seen the product of my labor end up on a low quality mp3 to care LOL
VIDEOS MAN I WANT VIDEOS ;D

I suggested the Lav mic 'cause you can get some very cheap (or very expensive ) and they will definatly be an improvement just by reducing the distance like Collin was pointing out. Also, it would "follow you" around.
You said your camera as no Mic/In, does it have a line/In ? All you would need then would be to place your B2 on a shrt drum Mic stand, hook up your B2 mic to a cheapo preamp, point the mic to your head and hook up the line out of the preamp to your camera.
If you don't have a line/In then, post syncro seem like the best solution with the equipment you already have.

Cheers guys
