This is so helpful! Just what I've been looking for.

[musclecarsandmore_]

Awesome. Both your channels are my most watched right now.

[ZackScriven]

Hey look! It's baby Tim and baby Sean. 😆

[GaryDmedia]

Great info from Tim. Didn't realise the benefits of magic lantern. Appreciate it.

[kdguntu]

This was the information I was looking for. I am a fan of Magic Lantern too!

[TommyJereiah]

Great seeing you and Tim Together Like x 10

Is the mic your using wireless? I noticed there's a little box at the bottom of the mic your using is that something to do with the wireless connection?

[JohnMcQuay]

Rode Wireless FTW! I have shot a couple of conventions/trade shows with them and they work great. I always carry a wired backup, but we haven't run into interference yet!

[AnnaWillemstein]

Awesome video! I just got the rode mic pro but I haven't used it yet. Super excited to see the difference it makes in my video quality

[shaeccspeare]

Great video. Thanks. My Sony Alpha 5000 doesn't have an external mic input. Do you have any advice about a good solution for interviewing mics that do not have to be attached to the camera please?

[JeriahMiller]

Awesome video! Thanks for the info. I use the rode video mic pro plugged directly into my camera but I might consider upgrading in the future

☆ Do you have any idea what could be the issue if my mic connects to phone fine (TRRS adapter) > it is recognized and starts recording.. but then randomly just cuts out completely after a few seconds or a loud noise (and I have to re-plug the adapter) ...Is it some sort of electrical current issue (overloading the TRRS?). Nothing in my android software/settings seems like it would interfere. 🔥 But if you have any ideas to try to troubleshoot/determine this... please let me know!!

[BinyaminFamily]

can u please tell me camcorder for live events, is canon xf305 any good. i saw that in the movie nightcrawler. really appreciate what eng camera u prefer. thanx in advance.

[aaronromero]

Hi I really like you videos. Quick question. How can I patch audio to a DSLR wireless.. from a mixer. I move a lot . Can I put a wireless mic direct to a mixer and plug the other end to my camera. Thanks

[saulvillarreal]

Me sirvió tu video soy de México gracias !!!

[ThatChristianFamChannel]

Does this thing beep during recording? I'm read a review where it does.

[JorgieMathew]

Hi !! I record video in church service and the audio is not good at all, so what is thought is to get feed from mixer/ pa system from aux cable and get it to my dslr or camcorder. will that give me a proper result??? is this a proper/ correct way??
I was about to buy 10m long male-male AUX cable.
I need some suggestion??

[englishwindows]

Great video really! Which camera did you use to record this interview?

[MarkFarrellyphoto]

Hi,
I have a canon 6D & 70D, I use a zoom h4n and I have a lead going to the camera from the h4n and I record to both, easy to sync in post, plus I have two audio tracks incase of a problem, Plus I use a splitter so I can use head phones as the canons don't have headphone jacks (thinking of buying one of the new Sony's). Oh and I use a rode video mic pro going to the h4n, If I am doing an interview and I am on my own I bring a stand and use a boom pole for the rode mic and a long lead to the H4N.
The Rode H4N is fantastic, when I am videoing an event where people are talking on stage I either get the audio guy to plug it in the system, I get great audio, or I clamp it to the stand where they are talking, its a great recorder, I love it.

Mark

If your camera doesn't have a mic input will it still work?
