It's noticeably larger than the H1 (and twice the price -- well over the $100 threshold for your roundup) but it does have the advantage of having XLR inputs, and it supplies phantom power to boot... this would mean you wouldn't need either a battery or a separate XLR adaptor for your shotgun mic.Titchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003350618976942468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877439239195370071.post-78934100201245146222015-02-08T19:20:28.354-08:002015-02-08T19:20:28.354-08:00The RVP doesn't get a ton of use since the onl...The RVP doesn't get a ton of use since the only camera of mine that can really use it is my camcorder (which I don't use for movies--the main reason for a scratch track). This leaves my mic input-less Sony NEX 5n to use its onboard mics for the scratch audio.<br /><br />The 1/8" mic extender cable is just a generic one from Radio Shack.Scott Egglestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150026764159298322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877439239195370071.post-48419264006276198962015-02-03T10:59:25.465-08:002015-02-03T10:59:25.465-08:00Sennheiser is definitely the best quality however,...Sennheiser is definitely the best quality however, I already own the RVP and a Canon 70D so I assume the next best frugal system is the RVP + H1N. If so, and the RVP is going directly into the H1N, what is the RVP's role and are you still using the camera's onboard mic for the scratch track? Do you have a product recommendation for that extender cable? Thanks for the tips.Gary Klingemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862458343129178257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877439239195370071.post-38576289911581132762015-02-02T06:39:28.501-08:002015-02-02T06:39:28.501-08:00It does hold true that you get what you pay for in...It does hold true that you get what you pay for in this case.
