My hv20 doesn¹t make that much noise either. I have the Rode video mic too but find that it does pick up some camera noise still. I read online about getting an L bracket that will lift it up a bit higher from the body of the camera...anyone know of such a bracket?
I once shot indoors with a dying flourescent bulb that made a horrendous noise something like that when the mic picked it up. I was able to get rid of most of it with this FCP plug-in - Mr. Hum by Wave arts. http://www.wavearts.com/MasterRestoration.html Sadly my 30 day free trial expired so am waiting for my next paid gig to buy the software because it was pretty cool. I went with the Rode mic vs the Canon when a post in a forum revealed that with the Rode, you can use it on other cameras that you may have as well, whereas the Canon will only work with the hotshoe mount. And since mics last longer than cameras, you¹ll be able to use the Rode on other subsequent cameras you buy. Thought that was a good selling point.
