Interested in recommendations to record video/audio @ concerts

Posted by looking for tech on 5/12/2022, 7:32 pm

I've been using my USB mic on a 12' stand to record concerts but I'd like to get audio/video both and was wondering what you recommended.

I was thinking of an ipad with a stand, but not sure of what model would work without spending a fortune.

We used the Zoom Qn2 to record marching band and a few concerts. Maybe not the absolute best quality, but it's really good.

I have been recording concerts for years with my Sony MD Walkman MZ-R500 with a stereo Sony hand held mic ECM-MS907. It's compact and simple. The mini-CDs are re-recordable and cannot be scratched since they are in a protective case. I sit in a central isle seat and try to avoid rude talkers. I've burnt many a CDs off these recordings with surprising results. I would sit front and center but I like getting the ambiance of the performance hall. They may not be in production any more but would be worth a search on line.

I record concerts using my Canon 90D with stereo mics going into a Zoom handheld recorder. I then join them later in post for the best possible recording for me. It isn't professional, but it works.
