Hey guys Eddie the Magic Monk here doing a quick comparison video of the
old camera that I used to have and the new one that I just bought recently so I
used to have a Sony Handycam and I've just upgraded it to a Canon
Vixia and the prices of the cameras are pretty similar but the good thing about
my new camera is that I have a shotgun microphone that is attached to it and
all the exact details I will include in the description of this video but you
can you should be able to hear the difference between two sounds so now I'm
going to show you how to attach the shotgun mic to my new Canon Vixia if
you're interested hey guys this is a quick tutorial on what you need to do to
install the shotgun mic to your camera so the first thing you need is obviously
a camera that has an external mic input so you can see this is my camera right
here a Canon Vixia HF R600 and you can see that if i open up this camera right
it's got a microphone input port here that i can insert a microphone into so
without that without that you won't be able to attach a mic to it okay so if
you have that then the next thing you need is obviously a shotgun mic and what
I bought is called the RODE VIDEOMIC okay so that's what I bought and I'll
put a link in my description so here is the mic that comes with that okay so
this is what it looks like and then you also need
a flash bracket right this is what's going to support the mic while it's
standing on top of your camera so you need these three things all right make
sure you have them so now here is the flash bracket okay and what I'm going to
do is I'm going to attach this to my camera so it just goes on the bottom of
your camera so just hook it on like this I use the bigger hole use the bigger
hole just screw it on like that okay and now notice how there's a hole at the
bottom of this which can then sit safely on a camera stand like that so this can
sit on a camera stand all right and now what we're going to do is attach the
microphone to the top all right so this is the microphone and you can see on the
bottom it's got one of these thingies so to hook it on you just basically go like
that slide it on and then you're gonna have to turn the knob to lock it in
okay so it's pretty safe so basically you can just hold the camera hold the
camera like this and the microphone is attached to it so when you want to
record you will have to turn on the camera like this and then pull down this
camera cable and insert it into this slot and then make sure you turn on your
mic and that way you can start recording it and you can see here that your whoops
you can see here that it registers the sound as you're talking okay thanks for
watching guys see you next time.
