    I have a Canon 5D Mark II. Last month I purchased a Sony EX1R and have much to learn about the camera. As far as sound goes, I know almost nothing. Any recommendation for a decent quality shotgun mic that could be used on both of these cameras.

    Thanks

    The Sennheiser ME66 and ME67 shotgun mics are quite popular.

    Those are both too big to put on a DSLR. I have the 66 and would never put such a large mic on a still camera body.

    I think he wanted the mic for the EX1r. I’ve used the Rode Mic’s for the Canon 5D MkII. I also use the Zoom recorder as an on camera Mic for the DSLR’s.
