www.dslrfilmnoob.com Many of the direct recording audio solutions for canon DSLR camera s involve large boxes and other random Items in order to get the audio into your camera . But once the audio is being recorded by your camera how do you know if it is any good? Well with the the help of a FiiO e5 headphone amplifier: www.amazon.com and a female RCA to 3.5mm adapter: www.amazon.com You can add audio monitoring functionality to your canon DSLR camera (when using a field monitor). I have two people to credit in this video. The first one is Christian Sundsdal. He is the one I mentioned who hooked the rode VideoMic and FiiO e5 together. You can find out more about him here: vimeo.com And the second is Youtube member Freyguyproductions. He sent in the question that got me started looking for this solution. You can find his blog here: Freyguyproductions.blogspot.com NOTE Remember this is for use with a field monitor. You need either an HDMI monitor or a little composite input monitor. See: www.dslrfilmnoob.com The screen on the camera goes black as soon as you plug the usb-composite adapter into your camera. If you aren’t using a field monitor this probably isn’t the way to go.
