Lee - was it the cheepo version of the Rode video mic you bought - if so it is the same one as I got - what do you think? I think audio gain control on the can would be nice. Perhaps the 7D MkII - Eh?

Erm I'm not sure what version - cost about a £100 and someone else paid for it so you could say it was the cheap version!

seems pretty good for what it is to be honest - I don't suppose it would match up to a solus recording solution but for some cheap & cheerful productions all good!

Here's one I took last week - I think the heavy border might swamp it a bit - what do you think?

OK Lee - I paid £80 for mine after much searching on the internet.

Bloody hell I go away for 4 days and there are 20 new pages !!

So whilst I catch up here's a couple from the past couple of days.......

On top of Priddy village looking down onto Wells, the Mendip Heights and in the distance Glastonbury Tor.

The view behind my caravan

Cracking shots Victor!!

Some snaps from Saturday, popped out for a picnic by the river..

Reflection

Talking of mics on dSLR I saw this guy at FIA ~ a gripped 7D and 70-200mm, does this help?

That looks more like a 300 f/4L to me Lawrence, hoods wrong for a 70-200

Hi Neal

I bow to your knowledge Makes me wonder even more so just how directional the mic we can see really is, the noise the jets make is dramatic so perhaps it would not need to be that good unlike for picking up voices at say 40ft in a crowded room???

Well most of the telescope mics generally do get a very narrow field of pickup, but they are more suited for interviews really :S

Ian beat me to it.. Had just taken off from Heathrow and flew straight over us, missed the good angle as I dashed to grab my camera!

We only managed to see it at FIA from the comfort of the worlds slowest traffic jam
