I also found this to be awesome. But I wonder: is the HV30 (now HV40) still the best option in that price range?

Thanks
Marcus

I took a course from Dov in new york last year. I paid for a certificate, which he promised to send to me. I have called about six times. I have spoken to persons, who promised to send the certificate out the same day. TO DATE I have not received it.

Great Tips! Thank you for your inspiration. I am an actor on a quest to reinvent himself as an indie filmmaker/actor. Had a night tossing and turning about the bad sound on my work so far. Your tips were the first thing that came up when I googled “Guerilla Filmmaking Basic gear” this morning. Great start to the Guerilla Artist’s day.
Please keep it up.

Hey Mat,
You are truly offering a community service. I’ve found the beginning of filmmaking extremely frustrating, mostly due to my lack of technical knowledge. It helps to have an information destination that I feel I can trust. Thanks, man! Keep an eye out for that beer!

I picked it up online at B&H! There should be a link there in my article, but if there isn’t, just jump over to the B&H site and do a search for XLR cables.
