I've made a lot of mistakes trying to make short, quality clips of nature.
It's challenging but I feel that the documentation gained in a nature video is worth the work.
If you shoot video in nature, you know it only takes a very low wind velocity for a rumbling sound to be recorded. It is annoying.
Here is a tiny on-camera solution. In my initial test with these I am very pleased.
Initially I felt that the in-camera mics were of poor quality. That's changed. With the D850, one must explore/tweak the adjustments inside MOVIE SHOOTING MENU and Microphone Sensitivity. I chose Manual Sensitivity and I have it set to 12. That may change.
Once they are tweaked, built-in stereo speakers record high-quality audio.

I went out mid afternoon on a heavy Arizona Moonsoon day for some flat overcast day soft lighting. D7200 and 18-300 DX lens used. The wild horses were roadside along the wire fence in very light rain. When i parkeked across the highway from them some ran away. The first horse ran back talking to them, unlike anything i have ever heard and did a 180 with about six followers. They really can communicate with each other.

Same Compass Cactus several days later with D610 and D macro lens. Horseshoe ?

From the kayak. I'm so mad at myself for dragging my feet on switching to Raw. Since I shot this I'm shooting Raw exclusively and processing in Dxo Pure Raw. Would love to have Raw files from this encounter.

I forgot how good this camera rendered, really wish this sensor was in a camera with a higher burst rate, but whatever the images still look good. sanjayg wrote:
The Sigma 50 is pretty amazing, the D810 is still an amazing cam. Great candid photography as always.
