Re: Advice on updating my audio equipment
Steve, Dave Thanks fore the replies!
I Sold the t2i and bought a 60D but cant figure out how to turn of the AGC. Any help? As for the hand held mic suggestion..for my film I want it to be as if the audience is there with me just "hanging with the guys" Its a documentary about the car culture and I think some of these guys will freeze up if they have too much pressure put on them. My approach is more like hang out and talk to them for a bit with the camera in my hand then ask them a few questions..by that time they've forgotten about the camera i'm holding and just act natural. Its worked so far.

Re: Advice on updating my audio equipment
The 60D doesn't require a hack to use manual audio levels - it's built in.
It's found in the Movie settings - turn Sound Recording to Manual instead of Auto. p. 184 in the manual |

Re: Advice on updating my audio equipment
Everyone - Thanks a lot for the suggestions pertaining to my situations in the field. I will apply what you've told me.
As for the 60D situation, in order to use the JuicedLink preamp, I need to turn down the AGC in order for the preamp to take over.. But I can't turn it off?

Re: Advice on updating my audio equipment
The AGC is only active when the "Sound Recording" setting is set to Auto. If you switch it to Manual ...

Re: Advice on updating my audio equipment
Well I figured out that the CX231 along with the DN101 is totally out of date... (complete reason for this thread) and so therefore I need to upgrade my audio equipment. The DN101 will not work with the 60D so I need to upgrade to their Riggy system..
But I'd like to know my other options for preamplifiers.. Any suggestions?

Re: Advice on updating my audio equipment
I've decided to just switch to the H4n, keep my mic and boom some shots.
Thanks for all the help everyone!
