A self recording process can be used for a variety of video productions. One can self record a podcast, a video conference, a lecture, or an instructional\/educational video. These are just a few of the possible self recording applications. Depending upon the equipment you are using, and the level of your expertise, self recording options can be applied to a limitless range of applications. Your ingenuity, as always, is boundless. Our self recording options are by no means exhaustive; however, they represent a range that will accommodate a variety of budgets and expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ouLGl7651sY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\"><b>Camera Recommendations for Self Recording Video<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #000000;\">We recommend three cameras:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Smartphone<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #000000;\">You have a camera in your pocket. Why not use it to self record? This is obviously the most convenient, and budget friendly camera option. In many respects, it is also the easiest to use. You likely already know how to use it. A few accessories will optimize your image exposure, and setup, to quickly begin self recording your video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Canon EOS 80D DSLR Camera<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; color: #000000;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/magnanimousrentals.com\/rental\/canon-eos-80d-body-kit-\/544\">Canon EOS 80D DSLR Camera<\/a> has the ability to record a much higher quality image than your smartphone. The versatility of the camera&#8217;s settings provide you greater control of the image exposure. This particular camera also has an attached LCD monitor that can rotate or flip to face you when you are standing in front of the camera. You can then use the monitor for framing and to see yourself when recording. The LCD Monitor is a touchscreen that can be used for quick and accurate focusing. The camera also includes a face detect auto focus feature that will maintain the focus of your face while recording. If you like to move around a little while recording, then this feature will be helpful to automatically maintain accurate focus. People with a little more expertise will also find this helpful if you are utilizing a shallow depth of field. One of the limitations of this camera is its maximum recording limit of 29 minutes. This is an inherent feature in most photo cameras and cannot be turned off in the Canon 80D. If your video requires a shooting time of more than 29 minutes, then you should consider our third camera option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Canon XF705 4K Camcorder<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; color: #000000;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/magnanimousrentals.com\/rental\/canon-xf705-4k-camcorder-kit\/644\">Canon XF705 4K Camcorder<\/a> will provide you hours of recording time depending upon the size of the SD card you are using. This camera will also provide you with a variety of recording format options including the H265 codec. The camera includes an integrated zoom lens, an internal microphone, and two XLR inputs for two additional external microphones to optimize your audio recording. The camera kit includes a remote control. The remote control includes a zoom control to adjust the focal length of the lens. This will prove most helpful for framing yourself in the image since you will not be able to reach the zoom control on the camera. The remote control also includes a Record Start\/Stop button so that you can remain in the frame and begin recording. This camera also includes multiple mounting options for a variety of accessories to add even more production value to your image.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\"><b>Equipment List for Each Self Recording Option<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Smartphone<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-Lightning-Headphone-Jack-Adapter\/dp\/B01LXJFMGF\/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Lightning+to+3.5mm+Adapter+Cable&amp;qid=1591814936&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-3\">Lightning to 3.5mm Adapter Cable<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">(if you&#8217;re using a newer iPhone)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14px;\">Rode Wireless GO Microphone Kit<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14px;\">3.5mm TRS to 3.5mm TRRS Cable (Included in our Rode Wireless GO Microphone Kit)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Impact-Heavy-Duty-Air-Cushioned-Light-Stand\/dp\/B06XGK6XCM\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Impact+Lightweight+Stand&amp;qid=1591813184&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-1\">Impact Lightweight Stand<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Joby-GripTight-Mount-Black-Charcoal\/dp\/B07C11MVPY\/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&amp;keywords=JOBY+GripTight+PRO+Smartphone+Mount&amp;qid=1591813286&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-4\">JOBY GripTight PRO Smartphone Mount<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Auxiwa-Selfie-Rechargeable-Battery-Camera\/dp\/B01MCZ2WY8\/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Clip-on+LED+Ring+for+Smartphone&amp;qid=1591814970&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-3\">Clip-on LED Ring for Smartphone<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #000000;\">Your smartphone may need an adapter cable to work with the Rode Wireless Go Microphone Kit.

It&#8217;s maximum weight capacity is 17.6 lbs, which is more than enough to support the Canon 80D. A Canon LP-E6 battery will give you about 2 hours of recording time, which will be approximately four 29 minute shooting intervals when using with the Canon 80D. The <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canon EF 16-35mm f\/2.8L II will provide you with a range of Field of View options for framing yourself and the background. The Rode Video Mic Pro will mount to the top of the camera, and plug directly into the camera for higher quality, directional audio recording.

The camera&#8217;s LCD monitor does not display camera settings when flipped to face the subject, so we recommend renting a monitor that can receive and display camera information. The SmallHD 702 Monitor will do this, and it also has a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">larger screen and higher resolution for reference, which will assist with the exposure of your image. In order to mount multiple accessories to the camera, you will need the appropriate hardware. Be sure to confirm which pieces of hardware are included in the kits, and those that need to be rented separately. View the list of included items on each kit&#8217;s item page on our website. The Canon XF705 includes a built-in microphone, but for higher quality, and versatility, we recommend renting a shogun mic and a wireless lavalier kit. The camera includes two XLR inputs to accommodate two external microphones. The F&amp;V Z180S Bi-Color LED Kit is another versatile accessory that provides a more intense light that is dimmable and color temperature adjustable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"magnanimousbl-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B002M24X84\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"3b0b76ae6e22abf1b8c03aca34065d1b\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\"><b>How do we setup each self recording option?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Smartphone (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ouLGl7651sY?t=117\">01:57<\/a>)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thread <\/span>JOBY GripTight PRO Smartphone Mount to the Impact Light Stand.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; color: #000000;\">Mount and secure your Smartphone horizontally in the mount for a wide frame.
