oh yea one thing i need to know is what kind of mic should i use if i wanna record perfect dialogue from characters....i know people suggestion stereo mic & rodeo mic here but i need one appropriate for my use

Nice list.

As you get links you can put them in so you can give as much as you get.

You want a good mic for your use but what is your use?

What is your budget?

Should i buy this adapter from twoneil thats if i wanna include my add-ons cause his doesnt require a support rod but the mattebox& follow focus do

I found XFR setup much more useful

I think twoneil is awesome and is really industrious and cool.

But, the best adapter out there as far as picture quality is the letus extreme.

Generally the longer the lens adapter and the heavier it is on the end the more pressure it puts on the lens mount of your camera.

It is acting as a lever.

It's the weight of the lens on the end of the adapter that requires you to use some kind of support.
