Dario, I'm afraid I can't answer your specific questions about recording video and mics for DSRLs as they use an unbalanced system. I do however use balanced systems and have a reasonable knowledge of video an audio. There are some interesting tutorials and links which may be of help here: Video tutorial on DSLR sound: <http://philipbloom.net/2010/12/16/recording-sound-with-dslrs/> LInks to more articles and tutorials: scroll down, left hand column (DSLR Shooting): <http://philipbloom.net/education/> Hope this helps! If you really want to get into shooting DSLR video and record professional-spec balanced audio, you'll need a breakout box like these: <http://www.hdvideopro.com/gear/cameras/at-a-glance-juicedlink-cx231.html> <http://www.abelcine.com/store/Beachtek-DXA-5DA-Passive-DSLR-Adapter/> HTH :) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
