Sorry if this has been asked to exhaustion but i'm a completely newbie on this stuff. I design and build Vacuum Tube Guitar Amps and I'm starting a Crowdfunding campaign, i have to put a few clips of the product in the site.
I'm pretty good with computers and electronic gear, but i never had to buy a video recorder or microphones. Here is what i'm thinking to do:
I have a Nikon D3500 that takes pretty good movies, i think i can record the person playing with that. Even do the camera has a decent mike i don't think will be good enough for making the clip look professional. The camera does not have an external mice jack, but i could use a mike connected to a laptop to record the sound. BTW Because this is a one shot deal i wouldn't like to spend too much money on this.
1- Would what i proposing makes sense? Should i consider other options?
2- I have seen condenser microphones on ebay for $40 to $50 that advertise professional sound? Are those mikes any good? Remember i'm not interested in longevity, one shot deal.
Thanks for the help,
