It's not too long; you can't see the nose.

Bruce..the standard Rode Videomic doesn't isn't too big for the hv20? I mean in terms of weight it adds to cam, or so long that it gets in the frame on certain shots.

Small camera need a small mic too long this can block high zoom and each time I use it the camera detect the presence of some object can block the zoom vision. I use for distance up to 40 feet away the talent most time is about 6 feet. See your local dealer and bring your camera probably you can test it in the store.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>YR  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/rode-videomic-procanon-hv30ext-mic-mount#post-69710 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 18:18:10 +0000 freelife2g 69710@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hope you guys are up for a little friendly chatter about external mics and how to mount them on the Canon HV30. After reading reviews and listening to tests on youtube for a variety of external mics including the Rode Video Mic, Rode videomic pro, senheisser 400, azden smt55? ect, I think I am going to give the Rode Videomic Pro a try based on size and performance. I liked the sound of the Rode Videomic better on the tests I heard but it just seems to big for such a small cam. I was ready to purchase the Pro when I discovered I would need a mount of some sort. There appear to be a few choices that let you mount the mic essentially on the cam accessory shoe. I've also seen a couple of L-Shaped brackets that mount the mic on the side. I would like to know what you guys are using and how you like your setup. Post some pics if you don't mind. Seems like the L-brackets would make it hard to balance the cam when shooting off the tripod. I like the idea of having the mic over the top of the cam, but most people say it needs to be off the cam to avoid hum and noise. I like to shoot thru the eyepiece instead of the LCD sometimes so I don't want that blocked. I may have to get a couple of different mounts to suit my needs. I will be shooting mostly handheld for my next project with only a little tripod work. Can't wait for the feedback. Check back soon.</p> <p> </p> <p>Freelife2g&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-hf100-editing-question#post-41768 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 11:15:59 +0000 dg10m 41768@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am purchasing a camera for the first time and after hours of research I'm finally down to choosing between the Canon HV 30 and HF100. It seems that either camera would be great in terms of picture quality and the audio issues with the HV30 can be dealt with by using an external mic. My questions have to do with editing. Since I will be shooting things that will require a great deal of editing AND I will be learning this as I go, I am looking for the best way to go. I don't have very much experience with this.</p> <p>I have read numerous things in regards to editing and I'm quite confused. I have been told that using tape will take a long period of time to upload to my computer prior to editing(one hour of shooting will take one hour to upload). On the other hand, I have read that the HF100 will take even longer, maybe up to three times the amount of material (One hour of shooting will take three hours to upload), Is this accurate???</p> <p>Also, I have read that editing will be more difficult with the HF100 than with the HV30. Is this true??? It would seem to me that once the material is uploaded editing would be similiar whether it came from tape or a memory stick. Am I wrong with this???</p> <p>So, as a beginner in this field and being someone that will be learning the shooting and editing aspects to all of this any thoughts on my questions would be greatly appreciated.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-b-roll-camera-a1-and-hv30-compatible#post-41398 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:02:17 +0000 SRoper 41398@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I'm considering buying the Canon HV-30..but I'm concerned about compatability with i-movie 2008 or Final Cut Express for Mac's.  Any feedback would be appreciated.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-b-roll-camera-a1-and-hv30-compatible#post-40667 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 09:17:18 +0000 PadawanGeek 40667@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> The HV30 is a great B-roll camera for the A1. With some calibrating, you can get the cameras' color to be pretty much exacly in sync with each other. The only problem you will run into with the HV30 as a B-roll is that its 1-ccd so its low-light performance won't be as good as the A1.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-b-roll-camera-a1-and-hv30-compatible#post-38002 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 00:23:08 +0000 gluefactorybjj 38002@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>According to the specs on the HV30, you can output at 60i.  However, even at 30p, you can transcode it to 60i in post, providing your NLE supports it (and I think just about all current NLEs do).  Another alternative is to transcode the output from the A1 to 30p.  Either way should be a "six of one, half dozen of the other" (equal) proposition.</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Scott</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-hv30-help#post-37389 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:12:11 +0000 shippocaio 37389@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I checked the <em><strong>bhphoto.com</strong></em>, but the camcorder there was $759.95, and at 6th avenue is $738.96, somewhat cheaper (actually, the cheapest, which is always good for film makers with low budget :]  ), so , i was wondering if something was wrong with the product and/or the store...</p> <p> Do you guys have any info???</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-hv30-help#post-37386 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:29:16 +0000 robGRAUERT 37386@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I always order from <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.bhphotovideo.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-b-roll-camera-a1-and-hv30-compatible#post-37385 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:12:48 +0000 JoeNugent 37385@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a Canon XH-A1 and I need a second HD camcorder as a second camcorder in scenes I shoot.  I cannot afford another $3300 for another A1, so I am considering the Canon Vixia H30 which shoots HDV at 30p.  Since the XH-A1 shoots HDV at 60i, will I have noticeable artifacts in scenes shot with both camcorders when I burn in SD?  When I burn in HD?  I don't want to do the experiment if the footage is not almost the same.   Thanks for any answers and speculation.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-hv30-help#post-37384 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:57:17 +0000 JoeNugent 37384@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am going to buy one from them today.  Usually stores associated with Amazon have very good service regarding both deliveries and refunds and exchanges.  I have never had a problem.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-hv30-help#post-37382 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 11:44:50 +0000 shippocaio 37382@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Guys,</p> <p>I want to buy the new <em>Canon HV30 Camcorder</em>.
