Audio Test on RODE VIDEOMIC PRO with CANON 600D / T3i (without MAGIC LANTERN)

This is a very silly, little, unscientific test video on sound recording with the Rode VMP connected to Canon 600D /T3i, and "without" the usage of Magic Lantern Firmware. And as I said before, this is very unscientific and totally unorganized so please DO NOT take this too seriously...

The only reason why I wanted to do this video is simply because that I'm pretty curious about the the sound quality of Rode VMP connecting to Canon 600D /T3i, since there are lots of people out there claiming that although 600D / T3i has the manual audio level, but because of the firmware itself isn't as good as the other camera (5D2, 60D, 550D etc.), not to mention after they applied to Magic Lantern firmware...

And so basically what I did was, I did a indoor test and an outdoor test, by setting the Rode VMP to High Pass Filter ON / +20db, and the camera audio level lowered to 1 notch (and 4 notches) above the bottom to see how it performs. Oh and, I also tested "with and without" the dead kitten when shooting outdoor scenes.

I don't want to bias, and neither am I qualified to do so, therefore I'm not going say too much about the conclusion, I'll let you decide whether it's good or bad. But I really think, as long as you use it right (well prepared, right settings, use with cautious etc.), the audio itself is REALLY GOOD. But again, like I said, I would still like to here how you guys think about it~ So let's KICK IT!!

Liked the video, sir. I am curious though, have you tried using the wind filter setting on the 600d?

Great in-depth review. I've just bought this and I was going to buy the Dead Cat, but seeing it in use here it looks like it'd be a waste of money

Un-Scientific OK that may be so ,but a good test none the less,it gave everyone an Idea to the quality ,basic settings with the 600D which for most people will be good enough for their videos,not everyone needs a full tech review , Does it work or not ?..and is it worth the money over the onboard mic.well you answered all of these basic FAQ's. 5*****
