I learned a long time ago to run my audio separately thru a good digital recorder where I can control things better. I like my Fostex strapped onto a sound guy.

Other than sync, I feel there is no need for audio features on the 7d.

No one has really covered the technicalities of recording sound with the 7d. Bloom would you oblige? I’m doing my research before I buy one.

Hey Phil, I’m in the process of learning how best to use another cheap audio recorder: the Sony PCM-M10. So far I really like the build quality, small profile and amazing battery life (over 20 hours on two AAs). No xlrs but the preamp on the minijack is very good – I can get quite good levels using an xlr to mini adapter to feed a shure sm58 to the unit, which is quite the accomplishment for a dynamic mic being plugged into a compact device. It can be attached to a camera just like the H4n and independents are making dead squirrel attachments for it too, available on e-bay.

[...] Mikrofon Ten wbudowany w 5D do niczego się nie nadaje. Na szczęście jest złącze mały jack pozwalające na podłączenie zewnętrznego mikrofonu i rejestrację dźwięku stereo. Więcej na temat sposobów nagrywania dźwięku w 5D na poziomie pro znajdziesz we wpisie Philipa Blooma. [...]

Hello
I just did a bunch of interviews with a canon 5d mark 2. The best option at that time was the Beachtek mixer with a wired lapel mic. The wireless made too much noise. The wired mic was better but still has hiss in the end.

I think the only way proper is a separate recording source like the Zoom h4n. Its all about the mic preamps.

I’d be very interested to hear if anyone had used a lavalier microphone with the Canon 5d ii. We do a lot of corporate “talking head” interview style videos and I almost always use the lav microphone.

We had an outside firm do a couple of quick interviews in the recent past and the results were great .. except for the sound. They were just using the onboard camera microphone and in one case were shooting outdoors. The wind and bug noises were annoying to say the least.
