What about mics? A decent shotgun and a hypercardioid - plus all the appropriate accessories - would be a good addition to your kit. A better audio recorder could also be on the list.

How's your audio post set-up? A solid audio interface, mic pre and audio monitors plus some sound treatment would be a good investment.

That is unless, of course, you use an equipped PSM & boom-op and/or a sound editor/mixer on a regular basis.

I don't see a microphone on your list. Word of advice: you DO NOT want to use the Canon T2i's built in microphone (or of any camera)

It records great video but the audio is awful.
