fuzzfeatures 1.0I have a Sennheiser aMKE440 wierd looking , but I like it. Paired with my Zoom H4essenstial 32 bit field recorder, i can pull pretty good audio out of most stuff I record :)
wengla02 1.01) Senheisser MKE 440 on camera or 2) Tascam TM2x on camera, either of those feeding directly into camera. and 3) Zoom H1n for backup sound. If I get a dress rehearsal I can set levels (usually down at 1 tick above no gain). I've also used AGC a lot on the camera audio. It's not the best for sure, but for live events you take what you can get. I've added a pair of Rode M5 cardioid condensers and a Tascam 70D, again set to 'low' and 1 tick above zero gain on the dials. That is some beautiful audio if I have time to set it up. (great for concerts - no ideal how I'm going to pull that off for marching band).
walrus_mach1 0.1What sort of treatment do you have on your mic? The foam windscreen should make a difference, the dead [insert animal here] covers generally do better. Granted, despite the label, the Rode consumer microphones aren't really true shotgun mics, but you have to add another zero at the end of the price tag to get something like a Sennheiser MKE that really does the job.
BeautifulBourbon 0.0I use a Sennheiser shotgun mic overhead. Yeah, it picks up some external noise, but it's really minimal and nobody cares.
