I hear the focus ring in the video

[deleuze3]

Hi,
When i record with a canon 5d mark ii, i hear when i turn the focus ring on the nikkor lens. Its the built-in mic of the camera.

With a videomic pro, would i hear it also ?

This is a real issue.

How can i manage that ? i didn't thought it would be that loud.

Thanks in advance,

Probably. But it won't be as bad.
As every audio guy will tell you, having the mic on the camera is less than ideal. However in the real world it's sometimes the only option. That said, the videomic pro is more directional so it will bias toward what it's pointing at instead of everything that's close to it. It's also a better mic than the one built in to the camera and it's going to be a little further from the lens, so it should be an improvement.
