Exactly what I was looking for. I'm putting a stereo mic on a mini tripod with a transmitter to record live music at front of stage with a safety track. I'll use a directional mic on the camera. I'll run the receiver into the 3.5 input then run the directional mic into a mini XLR input.
It's rather astonishing to me that you're comfortable recording ALL of your projects' audio in the camera. Best practice, in my opinion, would be to run mikes through a mixer/field recorder and feed the outputs from that into your camera for safety tracks/monitoring.
Thanks for watching. Sure in an ideal world that would be best but for run and gun, one man band shooting it's not super realistic. I ensure I'm monitoring tracks with head phones to keep tabs on this and now a days have added the Deity Theos for my lav with 32-bit internal recording in the Tx units. I feel pretty solid.
Great video, learned so much! Quick question, if I have two Sennheiser G4 mics would it work to put each in a mini XLR input (one and two), and then the shotgun mic into the mic input to record on three (and four as a safety track)? guessing you don't do this because when you want to record two wireless mics you use the smaller rechargeable one you mentioned. Anyway, just curious thanks for taking the time to put this out, very helpful.
I really like your video, it brought me various very useful information. However, I can’t find the XLR to mini XLR cable you use for your microphone. Could you tell me where you bought it? P.S. I subscribed to your channel that interests me.
Hey @Scott Bell, thanks for the great walk-through! How's your experience with headphones levels? I found them way too low if you leave a bit more headroom. I've put a little preamp in between camera's hp out and headphones. Greetings from a sound engineer.
@@ScottBell i like it. I wouldn't say i love it, but it gets the job done. They announced they were discontinuing it about a month after i got it. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd of known that. I upgraded the body pack to the BPTRX and i wish I would have just purchased 2 of those in the first place. I've been using it on this contract I'm on and noticed an electrical hum coming from the body pack, i switched to my rode wireless go, which i keep as a back up, and i haven't noticed a difference in quality. TKDR it's great, but i wouldn't buy it again.
Scott - question - I just got a C70 and it's great but I'm having a problem with mounting a shotgun (or any mic) without getting handling noise or noise from the lens autofocus/IS movement. Really keeps me from getting clean shotgun audio. I'm using a small rig mic mount that does have some shock absorption built in it, but still not good enough. I came from a C100 where the location of the shotgun was well away from the body and decently mounted - didn't have any of the noise problems I have now.
Thanks for watching. Mine came with both XLR and 3.5mm cable. Did you purchase the same ones I'm using in this video? This is the cable you need amzn.to/3nIPfGX
Nice guide! I have a question. What is the microphone clamp(holder) you used? I think the holder bent diagonally from the cold shoe to secure a short distance. I need that, too!
Thanks for watching. I've always had it set this way and it's worked with no problem. I know I need to send power for smaller, unpowered mics like the Rode Videomicro, and I've never had issues leaving it turned on when connecting my Sennheiser G4 receiver. Do you know what issues this might cause?
@@hmillz941 I haven't actually tested the function but this is generally how I'd interpret "attenuation", reducing a signal rather than acting as a ceiling (limit) to the signal.
