Thanks for that review tip Rick, did you shoot that video with the T2i and if so what did you use for a mic?
Great info all the time from you and your wife!

Hi Bert,
I did shoot the video with the T2i and just used the on-camera mic. I haven’t had a chance to see how it works with an external mic but will definitely post how that works for me.
Glad you like the info.

I really like the Rode mic http://amzn.to/aRCpTH. I am loving the T2i, need to get a battery grip so it feels better in my hands. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I like that Rode mic too, and have used it; it’s a good value. I have a couple of good shotguns, longer than the Rode, which I’ll be using until I get my own Rode. I also have a Beachtec and another mixer for bringing in audio through XLR cables and having a little more control over it.
I’ll probably be shooting mostly on a monopod or tripod, but when going handheld it does need “something.” Maybe the battery grip would help. I use a monopod a lot and I have a simple flash bracket that helps. I’m a gadget freak and am interested in a lot of the stabilizers, but am resisting the temptation to try them all.
