Hello,
I just purchased a Rode video mic. However, it looks like the GH2 does not accept your typical mini 1/4 inch size jack that is on the Rode. Therefore, what type of adapter do I need to plug this mic directly into the camera? I assume this plugs in to the port on the left side that says "mic/remote."
Also, what are the pros/cons of feeding the mic directly into the camera vs plugging it into an external recorder? The external recorder seems like a hassle having to sync audio later unless there is a huge benefit regarding audio quality.
Thanks,
Jerry
