My wedding receptions are very much like club environments, very loud dance floor music. Up until now I have been using my HMC150 with a Rode NTG1 on one channel and internal on the other (forgetting for now a line feed from the DJ).
I know shotguns on cameras are not the best way to capture sound but for run & gun it can be the only way. IMO the internal mic on the HMC sounds a bit clearer than the NTG1. Note: the HMC doesnt have an 'auto levels' function.
Now I am going to use my spanking new C100 I'd like any opinions of the performance on the internal mic in this type of loud music environment. Does it hold up well? Can I ditch the extra bulk and weight of the Rode and just stay with the internal?
