- description: Rode Microphones for DSLRs - which Rode MIc is best for your Nikon D5200? This video gives more details about Rode VideoMics and how to use them when shooting movies. DOWNLOAD OUR FREE GUIDE HERE http://www.d5200.org Rode are one of the industry leaders and make the top dslr microphones The ntg2 is an industry standard mic, but the one you are most likely to use are these dslr mics which have cold shoes so that you can fit them onto your camera. Obviously, it really only records what it is pointed at which is fine for close up interviews or documentaries and it would be ok if you were shooting a concert or stage production. however, if you have people moving around, or sound from different sources, these microphones will struggle. so tascams or radio mics we have three mics here and these two are basic mics in that you control the sound quality through the camera. This one, the rode videomic, is a mono mic, which means that it is directional, focussing on what is directly in front of it. It filters out sound from the sides This one, the rode stereo videomic would be better for wider sound capture because it is not so directional. both these mics have a high pass filter which means that they cut out frequencies below 80 hertz. noises below 80 herts are things like low traffic noise and vibrational ambient noise that you might not notice, but can be picked up and can effect your sound quality. it also helps to reduce plosive sound which are the hard consonant noises when people speak With both of these Mics, you control the sound through the camera, so you set the levels through the movie settings function on the camera. we have talked about levels in our how to set up the d5200 for movies video. Basically it should be peaking at about 12 on the camera. If it goes above that the sound can become distorted if it reaches zero. This new rode videomic pro, give you more control over the sound coming into the camera. It overs a high pass filter, but also can control the volume going into the camera. for example if you were dealing with a wide dynamic range - like a concert where there is really loud music and then speaking parts, you would find it difficult to set the levels in the camera to cope with both. here you could reduce the the captured volume by 10 decibels. Leave the camera on automatic and because the mic effectively dampened the volume, the camera would produce very usable sound. because the mic is reducing the sound levels going to the camera it gives the camera a better chance to record the quality of the sound rather than the quantity of the sound. alternatively, if you are dealing with sound which is very quiet, you can boost the sound by 20 decibels before it gets into the camera levels at their optimum. because the switches are on the back, you can switch from +20 decibels to - 10 decibels quite easily if you need to. Of course there are other mics available, but these Rodes are good cross-section of what is available and there are links here for more information. http://www.youtube.com/user/NikonD5200Channel http://youtu.be/EXYxg6L3-AM
