Hey there guys! I'm kinda new here but I'm glad I can ask for opinions on this problem.
So, I bought a Rode Videomic Go as an external mic of my Canon 650D a few months ago. The first time I plugged it in and tried recording video, there was a lot of hissing noise. I tried to adjust the audio settings to the recommended one from the manual but still had the hissing noise at any volume level. The problem existed just like that so I very rarely used the Rode Videomic Go. Instead of having
better audio, I ended up with more problems with my audio.
I know it can be removed or fixed in post-production but it's just disappointing to use the microphone now since I have to go through all that whenever I use it. Might as well just use my built-in microphone. Kinda feel bad that I spent money on something that won't work and I'm only a student running on low budget right now.
I would like to know if this is a problem in the Rode Videomic Go itself? Because if it is, then should I just use the warranty (I live in Korea btw)?
Or is it a mismatch of mic and DSLR model? If this is so, I might as well just sell it off since it's still in mint condition. Maybe a recommendation of other external mics or shotgun mics would be nice also.
Let me know your opinion or advice on this one. It'll be much appreciated!!!
