What you hear there is the air purifyer, the humidifier and whatever other contraption we had running during the winter time...you can even hear the bird clock go off in the kitchen 25 ft away off to one side.
It depends on what you will be using it for and if you have an XLR adaptor on your cam. I have a Beachtek DXA-2 mounted to my HV30 which allows you to use microphones with a XLR connector. If you don't have one of these you cannot use mics with XLR. If you are doing an interview or want a mono signal with good side rejection then the AT897 is great but if you want a stereo field then you have other options...
If you file down the tabs at the back of the Rode hotshoe mount so that they are shorter but not completely gone it will fit onto the HV30s hotshoe quite nicely.
Cannon has a proprietary hot shoe, you can get an adapter.
