I need an external webcam and stereo mic for making professional quality 'how-to' guitar instruction vids on my iMac. I'm intending to buy a copy of Final Cut Express to handle the filming/editing but what is a good investment in hardware? I see a lot of very cheap (under £10) web cameras on eBay but I'm really not sure whether these cheap cameras would be up to the job. What external webcam would be a good match for the built-in iSight? (I need to capture two shots simultaneously.) I was thinking of maybe using two of these goose-neck cams: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=140184486104&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004
For sound, I want a stereo condenser mic with a unidirectional/cardioid polar pattern and a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack connector plus table stand. Can anyone suggest models to recommend or avoid? (I'm currently looking at this:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=280219011109&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018.)
Any advice appreciated.
