    I use a Sennheiser 416P48 outdoors fully blimped with Rycote system. Indoors I use an Octava 012 Hypercardioid fully blimped with Rycote system. Both on a CF boom pole and shock mount. I am also recording to an SD78T-SSD 8 track recorder. The H4N is going to sample at 48K- 24-bit which is the industry minimum for audio capture. Do Not Use The Camera For Your Audio!!!

    Used RODE Stereo X/Y Condenser for 3 years , very good recordings , on camera hot shoe, don’t forget to turn it on, great jazz and ambient low level audio, removes any image stabilizer noise and camera handling.
