Canon Vixia HF20 With Rode VideoMic

Comparing the on board mic in the canon HF20 and attaching the Rode Video Directional Shotgun VideoMic. Canon is on the Modo SteadyCam 585 with a dual accessory shoe mount on the back. I have the Rode Dead cat windscreen over the Rode Videomic with the Original Wind Screen underneath it.

The sound is great with the Rode Mic in your test. How did you attach it to mini hot-shoe on your Canon without it being insecure. Thanks for the test.

@isinye In this vid I am using an adapter I picked up from Bestbuy for about 39.00. This adapter attaches to the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. Its nice cause it sits back and up higher so I can still press the buttons on the top. Now I got the the Mini hot shoe adapter. I ordered it off of Amazon as well, but haven't made a video with it yet.

It sounds good but check your audio levels

Do you have AVS studio? and do you have a hotshoe attached?

Hi!

Great Video!

I have the HF200 (same as HF20 in case you didnt know :P ) as well and i got the Rode videomic but the quality of sound i get doesnt come close to what you had. What settings did you have on the mic and the camera? I get heaps of hissing noise when i record. I contacted Rode and they told me to find the automatic gain control settings, but i couldnt find that on the HF200. Do you know if there is a gain control setting??
