Looking to put a shotgun mic on my Canon Vixia HF R20. I was curious if anyone on here had any experience running on this camera or another vixia and what mics you used for filming outdoors?
I was looking at that one pretty hard. Cant find a bad review of it. My Camera is old and I may have to DIY how it mountsHands down the Rode Micro. Be sure it has a windscreen, looks like fur, for the wind noise and you'll be golden. That's what I use on all my professional cameras for jobs. Small, doesn't take any external batteries or have on/off switches and it sounds great.
Is there no gain available on the Micro? I ask because I have the VideoMic Pro and find the different gain settings to be pretty useful. As with all gear I think learning to use it will enhance your experience. In my experience the microphones aren't just plug and play...as in you can get better results with a little effort and learning.
