Veronica's "uses" page
I really like the idea of a "uses" page, and so here's mine! This is a work-in-progress, bear with me!
Video and audio production

Cameras, microphones, interfaces, etc
- Cameras
- A-roll/talking head footage: Panasonic Lumix G95 with a 25mm lens
- Most other footage: Panasonic Lumix GH5 with a variety of lenses, too many to count
- I formerly used a Panasonic Lumix G85 for everything, and occasionally use it for a secondary camera or an overhead shot as it's lighter than the GH5
- Microphones
- Most speaking footage for the channel as well as singing for The Stop Bits: a late 90s-era Rode NT-1
- Guitar amps: some combination of the NT-1, or an EV RE20, or a Shure SM57/SM58
- Ambience: a set of ancient Soviet-era Oktava mics I've had since I was a kid, or a Zoom handy recorder
- Other: Shure Beta 52A (for kick/low-end recording), assorted drum mics which are occasionally used as a trigger
- Interfaces
- Main audio interface: Scarlett 2i2 which was a gift from a friend
- Before I was gifted this interface, I used a Presonus Audiobox 96 from the mid 2000s
- Video input
- Main capture card: Avermedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1
- Secondary capture: Blackmagic Decklink Mini 4K
- Additional capture: Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K
- Main audio interface: Scarlett 2i2 which was a gift from a friend
