On the hand, a camera’s internal amplifier adds quite a bit of gain to the circumferential noise induced to and fro its own circuitry as well as the mic’s cable. This is because the mic’s circuitry uses higher-end audio components and it’s also perfectly shielded. However, in case that a camera has to use an internal amplifier you will get a substantially higher amount of noise rather than if the input signal has been already pre-amplified by the mic. This means that if the signal is low, cameras will amplify it and vice-versa. The reason to it is that cameras have their own internal circuitries that adjust for the input levels accordingly. Although for louder environments and when close enough to the target, you could actually lower this setting, most of the time I would strongly advise using the +20 dB mode, as it helps to eliminate the hiss. Rode VideoMic Pro Compact has a handy dB pad that allows switching between -10 dB, 0 and +20 dB modes. I truly doubt you can find any better than Rode in this class. Don’t want to go through all this? Then use this compact above the camera mic. This implies the use of additional equipment as well as a separate stream of recording that has to be further synced with the video. Moreover, they use XLR connectors and require preamps, and so cannot be directly connected to a camera. However, such mics are much heavier they cost more and require a boom operator. This leads to cleaner audio with lesser noise and acoustical issues. A typical boom mic allows for more focused recording and as it’s mounted to a pole, it gives a great positional advantage.

In the professional video production, they usually use boom mics. Being a directional microphone with a supercardioid polar pattern, it provides a moderate off-axis cancellation allowing you to capture only what you need. Not only can this model deliver a clean and natural sound, it will also help to eliminate the unwanted noise such as hiss, handling noises, etc. If you want to achieve a decent sound for your recordings this would be a must have addition, as even high-end cameras sound terrible with their in-built mics. For an average consumer it may seem somewhat expensive, but it is Rode and it pays out with quality. Rode VideoMic Pro VMP is a compact professional mic that perfectly sits on any DSLR camera while leaving minimum footprint.
