The Canon DSLR Audio thread

I am just now coming to this thread and it is pretty much what i've been searching for... i have a Canon 7D that has 'sound coming out of both sides' in my earphones when recorded straight from the camera. But when i use a 1/8" lav mic input directly into the camera , the sound only comes through one side of the earphones. since the SennG2 is now discontinued, will it provide 'sound in both sides'? and will the SennMKE 2 do it also? i'm really struggling with this since i have to use a wired lav mic.

my situation: i'm a headshot photographer, but i also tape auditions for actors using my 7D, an in expensive lav mic, and iMovie. there is more hiss with the mic as well. i don't need more than those, but i do need sound on 'both sides' (someone on another forum pointed out to me that my problem was not 'stereo,' but that i was not getting sound out of 'both sides,' and i am not an audio genius, so i guess that's what it is).

any help is appreciated!
 
Just a heads up the Tascam DR 60D is on sale, free shipping also I believe. $149. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/929347-REG/tascam_dr_60d_4_ch_track_linear_pcm.html

I would like to film as a one man show, but it seems hard for me to boom and dp, lol. I guess this is good for interviews with a shotgun on the dslr hotshoe. Or if I had lavs.

I have googled a bit and watched some videos, it seems like a good product.

Anyone successfully use this and make shorts as one man crew of sorts?

Thanks.
 
I have a question about an issue I'm having.... I have a new Rode NTG2 mic ...I bought it to use with my Canon T5i camera... But the mic does not work with it... I tried a new battery... Still nothing... I tried a different cheap Chinese mic and it works fine....I am using a Hosa angled 1/8 Stereo to Female XLR Cable to connect it to my camera...Why will the cheap microphone work but my Rode will not?? I tried both with the same cable and same battery .... Any suggestions?? What am I missing here?

I've used it often, but without an op, you can't do walking-around stuff. Seated interviews with the mic on a boom stand. I mount it to my rails with a cross-bar at the back, keeps the rig reasonable protable (but wouldn't want to shoulder mount it). I power it with an Anker USB battery, that's an all-day solution for, like, $30 or less. I've come up with a far better battery mount since this photo though.

Hi folks,
I occasionally work with someone who uses a T6i. Is there a setting to make it display audio metering during recording?
