Hey all,
Next to all the audio recording I have been doing for my band, I have been working with video for a few years as well. I started out with the play toy Pinnecal Studio 8 in 2004, and have worked my way up to Sony Vegas 8 pro.
I have a nifty little Cannon HV30 video camera, and I was looking into some mic options for it.
I keep seeing Rode mics as great options. My first main video project will be subjects in front of a backdrop doing sit down type interviews. I also have a couple of pending projects where actual acting will be in play.
For the sit down interview type setups, I will probably be going into my Presonus audio interface directly to the computer to record the audio. For the other project, I was looking into getting a Beachteck XLR pre, but then found a comany called Juicedlink witch claims to have a lower noise when recording with their XLR pres.
Juicedlink is found here:

I of course can't go to over board, so I was looking at the Rode NTG-1 (or 2) and/or the video mic. I wasn't sure if I should get one of the NTGs and the video mic, or just one or the other. I won't always have a boom pole holder, so I thought of the video mic as an option, and overall, I would like my general audio for all my videos to be better, so I am assuming that the video mic would be a good option as well. Here are the links for these mics:
usa.rodemic.com/microphone.php?product=NTG-1
usa.rodemic.com/microphone.php?product=VideoMic
Should I get both of these mics and use them both? Or is buying the video mic not as important as the NTG?
Please help, tips, suggestions would be great. Thanks.
