I am planning to buy a good shotgun mic for my DVX100B, I decided to replace AGCm100G shotgun mic from panasonic.

However, does the rode NTG1 fits on the builtin mic holder for the DVX100B? With the windscreen on, can you see the microphone in the frame?

Please help.

Edwin,
I'm using NTG1 mounted with the built-in mic holder, and even with the wide angle lense the mic can be slightly moved backward not to appear in frame. Actually, I purchase a kit from B&H (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...s&Q=&sku=400812&is=REG&addedTroughType=search) that includes SM3 Shock mount. You see, while one can slide mic backward to insure it isn't in frame, the absorbing ability of that build-in mic holder is (or might be) another problem.
So that shock mount designed for the reason.

Just my five cents
 
Actually, I like it very much. I searched on this and other forums debating wich one to get. When I felt like ordering NTG1, I borrowed ME66/K6P just to make sure it does appear in frame and the sound quality isn't justified by the price. Then I ordered (received and tested ) NTG1 and now I am very happy with my choice.
