Camcorder Audio Setup: Canon XA70, MXL991 & CVM-V02C Microphones

Thanks for the videos been thinking about getting the canon xa70 do you still like it, pros and cons? Thanks in advance

Yes I do but for specific scenarios such as recording your kid's soccer games, long videos or "set it and forget it" situations. -Pros are battery life, zoom and simplicity. Also the ability to use XLR microphones via the handle is fantastic. -Cons are lack of full frame or APSC sensor (1 inch sensor still bigger than most camcorders), size and low light capability. The XA70 is best for BTS or making long recordings outdoors in daylight.

Both "Muff" and "Dead Cat" can land you in hot water, maybe I should say "Wind Sock"?
