Hello everyone!
So, recently I have been making a lot of videos with my D5200. On auto focus the noise of the motor is very loud. So straight away I researched some shotgun mics. Ended up buying the Rode Video Mic Go for it's 'easy set up'. Unfortunately I can not seem to get this working with my camera (Will not record sound).
So here is what I have tried so far:
- plug & go (What it's advertised for)
- setting microphone settings to 'off'
- setting microphone settings to different levels of sensitivity
Non of these has worked. When the mic is plugged in & I record, all you can hear is a muffled hissing.
I have e-mailed Rode who said to e-mail Nikon(Also that the camera needs to draw a small voltage referred to as plug in power). Nikon said buy their Nikon mic(no help)
I have seen youtube videos of the same camera and mic working so I know they're compatible!
So before I send it back I'm here asking for the professionals help, you guys!
Am I missing anything obvious here?
(Note: My camera's firmware is up to date. I do not have another camera to test the mic)
Thank-you very much in advance!!
