ah thats not good news rob. I had expected it to not pick up the IS because its a directional mic.
did you get it with one of those fluffy covers? If that cuts out wind noise maybe it works for the IS motor as well?
Nice first vid colin. I like what you have done with the hollowed out bit of tree too.. I might nick that idea
not fluffy but it came with a foam one .
The problem is that if fitted in the hotshoe its directly over the motor .
I just velcroed it to the end of my 500mm and it is better by around 50% less noise .
it is the IS motor for sure as theres NO sound with IS Off.
Rob.
eddit might be 65% less noise
Eddit again Now if i hold the mic as far away as i can from the lens its what i would call Pretty much ok .
Eddit Sorry
theres no way i can stop hearing the noise if the mic is in someway (apart from lead ) attached to the camera/monpod/tripod even with sponge as a dampner.
SO iv just ordered a 3m extention lead then i can stick it on a pole or something well away from the lens, i think this is the only way to make it work.
