Been an iPad user from day one of its release. Apple has been innovative from the beginning and now the rest of the world is getting on board. It's great to be able to spread the word about one of their mobile devices.

“What you’re hearing is the Ipad’s built in microphone. It picks up a lot of unwanted noise. And this is the recording with the shotgun mike. You can hear the difference.”

Yeah, but I wouldn’t want to use either one….

Anyone want to vote on how long it would take to get all sorts of crud behind that moveable lens assembly? Now, if they’d come up some kind of shoulder mount/front handles/latte maker Frankenrig for handheld shots, they’d really have something!

I tried to order this mount from Makayama but it never came so I cancel order is there anywhere else to get to mount?
