What kind of cables do I need to connect a studio mic and a shotgun to a DVX? Then I would need a shotgun mount if I want to mount the shotgun on the camera, right?
Although having the mic on a boom is generally preferable, if your shooting conditions permit. Gets your mic away from the minor whir-and-clunk of tape transport and servos, closer to your talent for added level and clarity, and helps muffle out the camera operator's mumbled prayers and curses...
