Oh it's fine over a short distance and absolutely no problem with these pre-amplified hot shoe mounted mics. Balancing only reduces cable induced noise, a bad balanced mic pre-amp can sound worse than a good unbalanced system. If I was shooting video seriously with my DSLR I would use my H4n though (internal mics, not my nice phantom powered balanced condensers ;-) -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
