** Canon LEGRIA (EU) are sold as VIXIA in the USA
 +
** For this camera you will need a wide angle lens for adequate capture in most environments: Canon make one, but it is expensive. A good compromise is the following, which is good quality Helder MW-4558 58mm HD 0.45x Wide Angle Conversion Lens: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/758310-REG/Helder_mw_4558_Wide_Angle_Lens_Converter.html

** The Canons have default sound settings not ideal for our kind of work, so you MUST  follow this tutorial from ‘UKAirscape’ if you want good sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVHNe-6runQ

 +
* http://www.samsontech.com/zoom/products/multi-track-recorders/
 +
 
 +
=== Mic fixings ===
 +
* Even if resting it on a table, put it on a stand that will absorb, eg sound of papers moved on table, or hand tapping on table
 +
* Rode do a shock stand with rubber net
 +
 
 +
=== Other ideas / notes on microphones ===
 +
 
 +
* Rode mics have a good reputation, but note that the Canon camcorder recommended above has an excellent internal mic and no external mic is needed in small clinic rooms. Recent experience also suggests the GOPRO sound compression causes quiet recording and static noise even when an external mic is attached.

This is a page to add advice about specific guides for data recording, equipment and collection based on a document circulated by Ruth Parry: Conversation analysis and Clinical Encounters Conference York 2013 Report from a Knowledge sharing workshop: Tools, techniques, tips, processes, software, hardware.

What's on your packing list?

  • Camera(s)
  • SD flash memory cards (SDHD = high capacity SD)
  • Camera clamp/pole/tripod etc.
  • Wide angle lens
  • Mic(s)
  • Mic stand
  • Digital voice recorder for back up
  • Headphones
  • Bulldog clips, duct tape
  • Spare batteries
  • Consent forms, record forms

Camera(s)

Things to consider when selecting cameras:

  • Bring one or more cameras?
  • External power supply? (ideally don't run them on batteries)
  • Fish eye / wide angle lens recommended
  • Headphone jack for monitoring audio recording?
  • External mic jack?
  • Remote on/off control can be useful
  • Lens cap you can put on to record sound only

Camera Storage media

  • Don't go for direct to DVD (they are trouble!)
  • Go for high definition + records onto SD card
  • They tend to record to their own proprietary formats
  • JVC records to an MPEG4 which houses an MPEG2, Canon records to MTS files
  • They all need converting (encoding) into a format you can play, edit, and that works with your analysis software
  • CLAN, ELAN (?transana) work well with MPEG2

Other camera ideas

  • Camera you can turn into a player that projects onto the wall (show participants straight away)
  • Eg. Sony

Camera recommendations / notes

Further reading

Camera positioning and fixing

  • Two cameras or more?
  • Test as much as you can
  • Magic arm (Manfrotto)
  • Gorilla pod (http://joby.com/gorillapod)
  • Drip stands and clamps
  • Will you need to move it during recording?
