7D audio: Microphones?
Audio being so important I have to ask, what are people using?
I understand that different situations require different types of microphones? What would be recommended for being compact? I see Phillip Bloom recommending 2 different Robe mics but can't really tell the difference between them except in price. I'm looking at 3 different situations (I'm guessing 3 different mics): 1 is for for that gives me audio better than what the 7D has to offer. Something that mounts to the hot shoe would be great but I do I have DSLR rig with a cage to mount it to as well (I just don't bring the rig out with me for a night of drinking though). Then I want to pick up vocals INSIDE a church. I have the Zoom H4n. In this case I would be looking at either capturing audio only (So no need to worry about a mic being in the picture) or capturing audio where I would have to set the mic outside the frame of the video. Then capturing instruments such as violin, organ, cello, flute in the same conditions as above. I would post this in the audio department but I'm really looking for what 7D or 5Dmii owners are using. |

Have you thought about using wireless mics ? Absolute must have for church weddings.

I don't do weddings right now. I officiate weddings though. That gives me access to some great talents. While I do plan on doing a few weddings this year for friends, it's not a business yet, not for a long time. I do want to help with promoting some of the talents in exchange for letting me practice video/audio.

Would the Rode Microphones Stereo VideoMic On-Camera Microphone be a good 'fun' mic to go out and about with and then for everything else, to start with, lavs?

I had some funny issues with the Rode Stereo mic on the 7D. Sometimes it will completely miss-balance the audio to the R or L - and its extreme. Like one channel loses pickup almost entirely. Not sure of others experienced that in different situations, but I found it quite annoying.

I have several mics for my other rigs ( at 897, akg blue line, Oktava, etc.) but need something simple for my 7d. I decided to go with the Rode video mic because it gets decent reviews, is cheap , doesn;t need phantom power and has an 1/8 plug that will go into the camera or into a recorder like my Edirol r-09, or a zoom.
I bought it from BH and will get it today. I'll post my results. Bruce Yarock |

Here as example of just being out (Watching one of the choir girls at a small room concert). I wish I could mic her and the other artists up, but no chance.
What mic (For fun) would be good to get the best of the vocals and also compact? |
