Has anyone connected a Rode NTG-2 to there 5Dmk2?
I have the mount, I'm just wondering how to connect XLR to 1/8" mini??? Is this possible and safe for the 5Dmk2?

Typically, mics have more dynamic range with phantom power than with a battery, but I don't know if that applies to the NTG-2. Unfortunately, the standard 5D2 firmware has the automatic gain control cranked to eleven. The hiss is excessive. Fortunately, there is a 3rd party firmware effort, called Magic Lantern, that will give us gain control, and possibly a headphone monitor output and meters. I heard the very first results last night and I'm encouraged. I'll get into the numbers tonight. In the meantime, a juicedLink into another camcorder or audio recorder will work. Once Magic Lantern is ready for primetime, you'll be able to patch the juicedLink into the 5D for a single recorder solution.
