My son who does audio work used an external audio recorder. Too many out there today then you merge it back in, in post production.

I recently purchased a Rode videomic for my dslr camera (the canon t3i) and have been noticing some problems with the audio it records. When I plug the external microphone in and record with it, the footage I play back has an obnoxious hiss so loud that I have to reshoot the footage using the default microphone. The other sounds in a shot are muffled and nothing can really be heard besides the hiss. It has nothing to do with AGC because T3is automatically turn that off. Any help?
