How can I hook up two external mics to a Canon 7D?

Jonathan S

Right now I'm using one external mic that's attached to the top of my Canon 7D (Optek).

How can I hook up another microphone that I could use on a boom pole? There's only one input.. how can I get another?

Answer
You are pushing beyond the design intentions of a dSLR with a video feature.

A real video camera has 4 microphone inputs standard as well as other.

Here is a link to the video cameras used specifically for shooting commercial video, either from a script or shooting professional sports.

Remote sporting events.

Here are some links that talk about getting the best audio from a dSLR camera

Windows Movie Maker Help!?

Jo :)

Whenever i try to upload video content from an SD card that was in a samsung camcorder,
this pops up
The file C:\Users\Aileen\Pictures\2010-05-29 science project\science project 002.MP4 cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again.


.. i've downloaded a video converter, to change the files but i have NO idea how to use this,
any help on either topic?!
