Audio equipment when recording externally?

[Burnsy]

I will begin production of a short in the next couple of months and I have a couple of quick questions about audio.

I realise that, above all, audio vital in producing an enjoyable film. I will be using me friends camera, which doesn't have an audio mic input, so what should I do?

Do I connect the boom mic (Rode Ntg-2) to an audio recorder or an audio interface? Do I need any specific cables to do that? My budget for a recorder/ interface would be around £100.

There are lots of inexpensive (cheap) recorders like the Alesis PalmTrack and Tascam DR-05.

You will need an impedance matcher like this:
