Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work on a Rebel EOS T6?

A: No, the Canon Rebel EOS T6 does not have an input for an external microphone and only records audio using its built-in internal mic. You can use a separate recorder with an external microphone such as the Rode VideoMicro to record an audio track and then combine the separate audio with the video in post production.

Q: 2. What distance from your subject will give you the best sound quality?

A: The optimal distance for recording will vary depending on the environment and whether or not there is a significant amount of background noise or when outdoors, wind can make a big difference. When recording outdoors, you may need to be closer to the subject compared to recording indoors. You can use headphones to monitor the audio while recording to make sure that the sound is clear.
