Does a hot-shoe shotgun mic really reduce / remove AF noise on video?

Re: Does a hot-shoe shotgun mic really reduce / remove AF noise on video?

Yes. I own a similar mic and the mic itself is insulated from the camera body with a support web of rubber bands. This brings the AF transference noise down to an almost inaudible level. You can also put the mic on a pole and bring it in close to the subject to really kill any AF sound.

Thank you Craig!

Which mic do you own, if I may ask?
