I bought a Sony NEX-VG20E kit (E 18-200mm), and now I want to buy a tripod, a tripod head, a photographic lamp, a shading bucket, etc. Please recommend it.

The tripod must be a solid camera tripod. Although the camera can be used, it is not easy to use, especially the tripod head. You can't use a table, but it must be a 3D tripod head, which can pitch up and down, swing left and right, and move left and right. NEX-VG20E is small in size and relatively light in weight, so it is unnecessary to buy a professional camera tripod with high quality and high price. The domestic Weifeng -7 17 is good, the price is lower than that in 700 yuan, and it is also equipped with 3D Yuntai. The appearance and production technology are very good.

Since you are a college student, you are certainly not so well off financially. Regardless of the shading bucket and kit, it is good to use it directly, but it doesn't look fashionable. If you really want to use it, it is good to buy three generations of steel heads, tanks or Vanderland. Since you bought it, you can't just sell the shade bucket, at least buy the guide rail and follow the focus. Although the automatic follow-up focusing of VG20 is very good, the number of E-port lenses is small and the price is relatively expensive. It is much more convenient to use the A port or other manufacturers' manual heads through the adapter ring.

Lighting, don't buy too good, as long as the power is enough for the light box of general three-color light source, and the hand-held news light can also be used for emergency, but pay attention to the color temperature and white balance. VG20 is a full HD camera in APS-C format, which has the basic characteristics of digital cinema in S35 format. One of the advantages of its large format is that it has good low illumination performance, and it is guaranteed to cooperate with natural light and appropriately increase the image quality. So don't care too much about the lighting, but buy a reflector, or your face will need to be filled with light in many cases.

One more thing, the recording effect of the four capsules of VG20 is very good. However, as the actual sound of the film, when recording the dialogue of human language, the sound of the plane will be rotten when it is a little farther away, and it will be greatly disturbed by the environmental sound. With the introduction of vg30E and vg900, Sony also introduced a recording accessory of VG series. As for the model, I forgot. You can check it online. Using it, the microphone directivity of VG20 is obviously enhanced, and the effect of recording people's conversations is very obvious. Since filming a micro-movie, I might as well try it.
