Video/Mic: Preamp for T6i?

I bought a Rode VideoMicro for some decent quality audio while filming with my smartphone, GoPro, and of course my new Canon T6i. I quickly discovered the well known dreaded hiss sound from the poor preamp in the camera, so I am looking for an inexpensive external preamp.

I was looking at the Aputure A.Lav, but I am not 100% if I can simply use the Rode mic instead of the one that comes in the kit.

My other option is the Zoom H1. If I went this route, would I be able to run Mic into H1, then H1 into Camera and record the sound to the SD card? Or do I have to record sound to the H1 and sync later?

Note: I don't want to spend the $200+ on a recorder/preamp otherwise I might as well go with a VideoMic Pro.

Thanks

Canon EOS Rebel T6i (EOS 750D / Kiss X8i)
