Yes, something with a sharp transient makes easier syncs. Thanks!

No!!! Don't record the board outs direct as your only source. I've been through this and you will regret it. It will be dry, it will be unbalanced, it will lack dynamic, it will most likely be distorted and it WILL suck. Your sound guy is not mixing for tape, he's mixing for the room, both of which are completely different!

Your plans should work fine. If you can, use a Zoom recorder or something like it with GOOD onboard mics (like their X/Y capsule) and put it close to your sound guy's position or toward an optimal listening space in the center of the room. If your sound guy IS good, you'll then also get a good, balanced room/audience mix that will capture the excitement of the gig through the PA.

Additionally, if you can also record the board mix, you can then later mix the two together and see what you get.

No one has offered any advice about the video portion. I'm far from being an expert, but if you have seen professional video productions, they use at least 3 different cameras to get different angles and close-ups.

How good do you want it to come out?

These Zoom recorders like the H4n, H5, and H6 offer the ability to capture a board feed and a live room sound at the same time. The position of the recorder might be better or worse than the location of the camera mic, but you'll have options at least.
