In this video I’ll show you how to setup the Mix Monitor to select which microphone channels you want to route to your camera. The ReZoom H5 will record the XLR professional microphones onto separate mono tracks, record the L/R stereo microphones onto another track and send only mics 1 and 2 to the camera. Many other recorders could be setup in a similar way.

The new RODE VideoMic Pro Plus has some really cool upgrades.
The mic is fitted to both a Canon 80D and also a Sony RX10 and in this video I look at the new features but consider closely some of the issues raised by recent reviewers. This shotgun mic is setup on a boom for a lot of the dialogue and setup on the camera as you would use in the field.
