Heil Sound Handi Mic Pro Plus Dynamic Microphone Black


Heil Sound Handi Mic Pro Plus Dynamic Microphone Black


$108


The Heil Handi Mic Pro Plus is a dynamic microphone that incorporates innovative mic technology designed for a wide range of professional applications. This versatile Heil microphone excels at live sound, commercial broadcast, and sophisticated recording venues. The Handi Mic's wide frequency range outperforms tired, 30+ year old industry technology and can withstand huge amounts of SPL. The end result is a microphone that can answer the call to any application. The Handi Mic Pro Plus is ideal for use with tom drums where smaller microphones are needed, as well as inside Leslie speakers. The Handi Mic is perfect as an interview microphone because of its small size, low profile and great sound. Since 1982, Heil Sound has been the leading manufacturer of communications microphones and has a paramount understanding of phasing. When properly applied, this knowledge creates outstanding cardioid patterns with unbelievable rear rejection that removes unwanted sounds that try to enter from the off axis rear. The pattern control of the Heil Handi Mic Pro Plus is outstanding. This exceptional performance is achieved by using the ideal combination of materials for the large low mass diaphragm and a special mixture of neodymium, iron, and boron that gives the Handi Mic Pro Plus the strongest magnet structure available. Heil technicians paid special attention to the microphone's phasing plug assembly. The Handi Mic's equally placed ports accept sound from behind out of phase. Thus, the Handi Mic Pro Plus produces a very linear cardioid pattern and reduces proximity effect while achieving perfect articulation. The Heil element in this microphone is usable at extreme high sound pressure levels and is immune to overload conditions. That makes the Heil Handi Mic Pro Plus a dynamic microphone that is perfect for vocal and live sound applications.

Pro Microphone Mic

Equipment and Costs of Videoblogging

If you're starting completely from scratch you should expect to pay around $2000-$3000 to start videoblogging (including the cost of a computer and simple MiniDV digital camcorder). In addition you will probably have to spend $20-$50 a month for a broadband connection, however the good news is that you may already have some of the stuff you need to get started, and the rest can be sourced for less if you put your mind to it. The following items are necessary for videoblogging, so you’ll absolutely have to buy these (or already own them):

  • The camera. Your best option for videoblogging is a MiniDV camcorder with a FireWire cable, because you’ll have the easiest time getting the video off of it and onto your computer. Camcorders that use FireWire have been made since around the year 2000, so your camcorder doesn’t need to be brand new to work. If your video camera is analog, you’ll need an external converter that converts analog data into digital and then feeds it into your computer; such converters cost $150 to $200 and up.
    With MiniDV camcorders now selling for under $300, you may find it more cost-effective to upgrade than to struggle with the converter. Some cameras record directly to a file - whether on DVD or media card - without requiring FireWire; many are equipped with USB. USB camcorders will not capture to iMovie on the Mac.
  • Fast Internet connection. Dial-up isn’t a great choice for videobloggers. It’s not impossible to videoblog with a dial-up connection, but it’s hard. If your only option is dial-up at home, look for other places you can post from, such as cafés and libraries. Ask first to make sure they don’t mind you using their faster connection for videoblogging.
  • Computer. If your computer is more than about five years old, it’s going to frustrate your vlogging efforts. You’ll need a lot of hard drive space while you edit - at least 10GB free when you want to work on a video. Also, make sure your computer has a FireWire port. FireWire and USB have similar-looking plugs, but they are not the same.
  • Tripods, camera cases, extra batteries. You can get a short, inexpensive tripod for less than $5, and they’re invaluable for setting up a still shot and for getting a good angle on the camera while you’re in the frame.

If your equipment is a few years old but the camera does have FireWire, and you’re planning an upgrade path, consider upgrading to a larger hard drive first, then a better computer, then a better camera -- and then work on the optional items. The hard drive will become crucial once you have more than a few videoblog entries saved - and the computer speed will make a huge difference in how frustrated you get while editing video and posting files. A better camera has a huge effect on your video, and you might think that’s the most important place to start. It’s not. Especially when you’re starting, your enjoyment of the experience is far more important than how well your camera handles lighting problems.

Here’s some optional equipment to consider on your upgrade path:

  • Improved editing software. High-end programs include Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and QuickTime Pro. QuickTime Pro is actually a good upgrade to buy early -- since you can use it to export to more video file formats -- and it’s inexpensive. Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere are good options when you want special effects in your video.
  • Sound hardware. Microphones, booms, windsocks - these are all optional accessories for your videoblog. If you end up filming in noisy situations, you will want an external mic sooner rather than later, but be wary - microphones can be very inexpensive, but can quickly add up when you go for quality.
  • Audio software. Music and video go together so well, you might want some audio editing software to go along with your video editors. GarageBand is Apple’s music editing program, and it comes with iLife (which also includes iMovie, if you don’t already have it).
  • A second camera. A second camcorder, a webcam, or a digital camera that shoots video as well as stills can be a very handy addition to your vlogging toolbox, but it’s entirely optional.

Whatever you decide to do with your videoblog, there will be some expenses you can’t quite get away from. Vlogging is a terrific hobby, but many vloggers are also turning it into a more professional arena. If you’re interested in a career as a videoblogger or doing any kind of digital video work for pay, your vlogging toolbox is an investment, not just an expense.
