Plannig on getting a rode ntg 2 and a canon hv30. Srry cannot afford beachtek preamp thing, but need converter cables to hook up to hv30. I dont need miles of length, but prob enough in case I run into that sort of problem. I was thinking aroud 25 feet or so. Now, can someone give me a list of all the cables I need to hook it up and so it wont be making noise and balancing and stuff like that? I figured and xlr to mini cable, but anything else? I dont get the xlr male and female (what it means) and right angled xlr cable, and dont know if I even need them.if u can give me the precise names and website, that would be great. I'm planning on getting the camera and mic from bandh, so getting the cables from there would be helpful if possible. PLEEEEse help!
