Ok, after playing around for about 3 weeks trying to reduce the amount of vibration noise being picked up my my shotgun mounted to the camera, So far I've come up with:
I bought a telephoto support that I have my DVC30 mounted to and holding up the letus and lens. I choose this due to money (I bought it for $60). Now I have a DVC30 with the XLR adapter and mic mount. I also have a cold shoe rubber band mount for my NTG-2. I get a fair amount of vibration noise in the mic with either mic mount. I've place a rubber pad under the letus that rests on the tele mount. I've also put a bit of rubber where the camera mounts to the support. This has helped a lot even though the mic is mounted on the camera. It just seems to absorb the vibration. The XLR adapter has some rubber bushings and of coarse the rubber bands that holds the mic. Still, I get vibration noise. In a medium noisy environment, it's ok. Just very quite places I can hear it. (yes I have the high pass filter engaged on the mic).
Other than mounting the mic off the camera, has anyone found a fix? Is there a way to either dampen or float the vibrating GG from the rest of the adapter? Maybe another kind of support for the mic?
