What settings/setup works best for general filming on your 6D?

You'll want to use the Rode VideoMic Pro at +20dB all the time, to keep your camera preamp as quiet as possible. Turn your camera gain down as low as is reasonable and aim for an average peak around -12, if you're using meters.
I use the rolloff anytime I'm handheld or outside. For a tripod-mounted shot, you can leave the switch on flat.

Thanks, I did set my Rode like that, and turned the camera audio to manual. Able to approach that average peak now. I have considered getting a zoom h1 or something similar as well.
