so ive been shooting on canon gear for like a decade now and i finally made the jump to the r6 a few months back for the autofocus alone but man the audio setup is driving me nuts. ive been using my old rode videomic pro that worked fine on my 5d mark iv but for some reason on the r6 im getting this super annoying low level hiss even when i turn the gain way down in the camera settings and try to boost it on the mic itself. i thought maybe it was a bad cable so i swapped that out but nope still there and its making my post-production workflow a total nightmare especially when im doing these quiet indoor interviews where theres no background noise to hide it.
im looking to just upgrade the whole mic setup because i have a big wedding shoot coming up in san diego next month and i cant afford to have the vows sounding like they were recorded in a wind tunnel or with a swarm of bees in the background. i need something that plays nice with the r6 preamps because apparently they are finicky as hell or maybe im just doing something wrong but anyway here is what im looking for:
i looked at the sennheiser mke 600 but i dont know if thats overkill or if i need an xlr adapter for it to actually sound good on this body. has anyone tried the deity v-mic d3 pro or maybe the newer rode stuff? i just want something that lets me set and forget without worrying about that digital noise floor creeping in all the time...
Ngl the R6 preamps can be super finicky but i totally get why you made the jump for that autofocus! Its amazing! I always play it safe with my audio gear and these two are basically bulletproof for weddings.
Can confirm
