Nice audio set-up there. You (and we) will certainly hear the difference in quality, The Heil is a quality item. I previously did a podcast for amateur radio and used a standard Sure PG58 and audio mixer with good results. Microphone technique is important to good quality audio and I think Leo Laporte mentioned this once as well. Look forward to the new work.

I run HDMI out of the video camera, into a Blackmagic Intensity Pro capture card.

And that's plugged straight into your PC right.....or MacBook?

I've got a JVC HD7 which is nice, but I can't set it up like a web cam (for want of a better term) and record directly to my MacBook..

Starting to think about selling it and picking up something else like a Sony, or a Canon..

Nice unboxing Jason..

Quick question, what camera are you using to record all this with?
