Exactly what I was looking for. I'm putting a stereo mic on a mini tripod with a transmitter to record live music at front of stage with a safety track. I'll use a directional mic on the camera. I'll run the receiver into the 3.5 input then run the directional mic into a mini XLR input.
Great video, learned so much! Quick question, if I have two Sennheiser G4 mics would it work to put each in a mini XLR input (one and two), and then the shotgun mic into the mic input to record on three (and four as a safety track)? guessing you don't do this because when you want to record two wireless mics you use the smaller rechargeable one you mentioned. Anyway, just curious thanks for taking the time to put this out, very helpful.
Hey @Scott Bell, thanks for the great walk-through! How's your experience with headphones levels? I found them way too low if you leave a bit more headroom. I've put a little preamp in between camera's hp out and headphones. Greetings from a sound engineer.
I really like your video, it brought me various very useful information. However, I can’t find the XLR to mini XLR cable you use for your microphone. Could you tell me where you bought it? P.S. I subscribed to your channel that interests me.
@@ScottBell i like it. I wouldn't say i love it, but it gets the job done. They announced they were discontinuing it about a month after i got it. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd of known that. I upgraded the body pack to the BPTRX and i wish I would have just purchased 2 of those in the first place. I've been using it on this contract I'm on and noticed an electrical hum coming from the body pack, i switched to my rode wireless go, which i keep as a back up, and i haven't noticed a difference in quality. TKDR it's great, but i wouldn't buy it again.
Thanks for watching. I've always had it set this way and it's worked with no problem. I know I need to send power for smaller, unpowered mics like the Rode Videomicro, and I've never had issues leaving it turned on when connecting my Sennheiser G4 receiver. Do you know what issues this might cause?
Scott - question - I just got a C70 and it's great but I'm having a problem with mounting a shotgun (or any mic) without getting handling noise or noise from the lens autofocus/IS movement. Really keeps me from getting clean shotgun audio. I'm using a small rig mic mount that does have some shock absorption built in it, but still not good enough. I came from a C100 where the location of the shotgun was well away from the body and decently mounted - didn't have any of the noise problems I have now.
@@hmillz941 I haven't actually tested the function but this is generally how I'd interpret "attenuation", reducing a signal rather than acting as a ceiling (limit) to the signal.
Nice guide! I have a question. What is the microphone clamp(holder) you used? I think the holder bent diagonally from the cold shoe to secure a short distance. I need that, too!
Thanks for watching. Mine came with both XLR and 3.5mm cable. Did you purchase the same ones I'm using in this video? This is the cable you need amzn.to/3nIPfGX
This is such a good tutorial ! Thank you so much !!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Good run through of the C70 audio. I typically run my safety channels on 3 and 4 and monitor 1 and 2 as that's how I run a two talent mic config.
Thanks for watching! Cool to hear how you like to setup your audio.

Excellent video !! Love my C70 . Been using the Komodo more recently but I would never get rid of the C70.
Cheers, thanks so much for watching. The C70 has quickly become one of my favourite cameras to use the more I get familiar with it.
Great stuff brother! Thank you for all you do!
Cheers, thank you for watching. Appreciate the comment!

You could totally do that and actually have started doing that on some projects with the Deity Theos system.
Nice Bro !

I've had no issues. I think I only have mine turned up half way of what the camera allows.

Thanks for watching, glad to help. My cables are from Alvin's Cables.
I have a similar setup. Only i use the deity Rx duo or the rode wireless got. The Duo tends to get in the way though.
Awesome, how do you like the Deity transmitters? Thanks for watching.

Great video bro. Quick question, where did you get that xlr cable from? I can’t seem to find it in the description.
Cheers, thanks for watching. The cable I use is from Alvin's cables, it's nice and compact.
Did you say (10' 45") you supply +48v phantom power to your Sennheiser G4 receiver in Audio 3? Not sure that's right.

Thanks for the very informative video! What cord are you using to go from the camera's headphones port that you plug your earbuds into?
Glad it was helpful! I use these ones amzn.to/3HvR8xl

I've really love the shotgun mount that came with the c70.
@@ScottBell The stock provided shotgun mount is decent but the handle is useless - obviously you don't use it - neither do I
@@Sutterjack I mount the shotgun mount directly to a cold shoe. It's one of the best designed shock mounts I've seen.
@@ScottBell I didn't see shotgun mount on your product list (or missed it) -could you give me the brand? Thanks
@@Sutterjack I use the one that came with the c70
What is the attenuator setting and how does it compare to the limiter?
Some details on the concept here mynewmicrophone.com/what-is-the-difference-between-audio-compression-limiting/
@@ScottBell Copy I'm familiar with audio compression. Didn't realize that the "attenuator" in the menu was just a compressor. Thanks!

Cheers, thanks for watching. The microphone clamp is the one that comes stock with the Canon C70.
@@ScottBell I found it! But.. it doesn't this fit cold shoe?
@@ScottBell Ah! Some screw in it! It's a hot shoe screw, right?!
@@user-jy5tf1zo4b Yes it goes in a cold shoe. At least the one on my cage works fine.
@@ScottBell I got it! Thank you for your kindness :)
Awesome video, I just got the sennheiser Lavs but it has a full xlr, how where you able to connect yours to the C70 since it's a mini jack? thanks
Thanks for watching. Mine came with both XLR and 3.5mm cable. Did you purchase the same ones I'm using in this video? This is the cable you need amzn.to/3nIPfGX
@@ScottBell Yeah, I have the same G4, thanks for the swift response...

what hdmi cable you use to connect the monitor?
