Video & Audio

[LetTheRightLensIn]

Hello all,

I am using my 60D to record sporting events, documentaries with my students, etc. I wen to BH Photo yesterday and the very nice sales associate pointed me to the NTG-2 combo. When I arrived home and set everything up I realized that I may be deficient in what I need.

The level of the recording and the quality is complete rubbish going into the camera. I've read elsewhere that people plug their Rode Mics into an H1 or H4N, as well as a Tascam product of similar capabilities.

Does anyone have a good link/video that can clearly outline a nice "workflow" for audio when using DSLR.

Best,

jason

I'm not sure if the 60D lets you manually control audio volume, if it does, then turn it down to almost zero and plug a juicedlink pre-amp into it the DT414 has a lot of power and will get rid of the hiss for most applications (the 200 series have less power but might be enough for loud stuff or reasonably loud stuff with mic up close).

Perfectly adequate. I now use a beyer dynamic (k&M are also good) which cost a bit more money (you go through 2 or 3 cheapies and think, nah I should just buy a decent one next time)

Mic from the opposite side of your subjects looking room / direction.

Thank you...

I found this also on amazon.com...and since I have prime, I get 2x day free shipping!!

If you order over $25 (so, if needing something else)...would be cheaper without the shipping on the ebay one:

Thank you, this will come in VERY handy!!
