Camera suggestions?

[flik]

I know this has been talked about before, but thought there might be some newer options. I was wondering what some good but inexpensive options might be for a single camera input. Are there any decent webcams that would work or is it still better to go with a separate camera and video capture device? I'm looking for something small that I can mount to a microphone stand to capture a singer's face while they are singing.
Thanks

I own 3 of these

Not the BEST but for 85 bucks a piece and having some decent adjustability I cant complain. Usually just mount them high up for a wide B roll shot or facing down on to the dj. Has a standard screw mount on the bottom so you can use any tripod or adapter.


Hope this helps!

is it better to use an usb camera directly connected on the PC, or a hdmi cam thru a capture device ?
thank you

When it come to quality its better to use a decent camera and a capture card. Also you need to get the usb / webcam signal to your system.

For all on the search i would also talk about NDI... either NDI as capture device (birddog studio i.e.) or use a camera with NDI output.

There is a NDI App to turn every smartphone into an NDI source.... but only the compresed ndi/HX version.

it may worth a shot...

Thank you very much for this responses !

I will search for NDI on smartphones because it is probably the cheapest way to use cams on stage, very good idea, because money is a problem on my project.
Marshall cams are beautiful but too much expensive for me.

Here is the setup i wish to build :

Hi,

I use the Marshall cv range for this. Little dinky camera with sdi or hdmi out (some with both). Pretty bomb proof too.

I have the cv505 and cv565.

hope this helps
