Thanks:) One quick question, i've noticed that the mic could switch between INT and EXT, is it possible to switch INT and EXT if i make the MIC mod?

@alins That is exactly what I am saying

@Farbrorbengt In my video I mention that you need to record it as INT as it has no external mic input. The mod just uses the internal mic wires to have a external input.

Ah, I see, it would be cool to still be able to have both ext and int mic but with a switch

Yeah I was thinking the same. Implimenting a small switch would not be too difficult I'd think. The only concern I would have is the space it takes up as the T1i isn't an empty camera body :D. I also am a novice at soldering and since the video I followed had no switch implemented I did not try to stray too far.

*I'm only assuming the internal mic is ok with magic lantern since my modded in jack works fine...anybody else had a problem with the stock internal mic?

Yeah, the space is the only issue I can think of. But I dont care if I have to glue it on outside the case. It's not the look that matters, it's what's inside:)

Btw, did you buy a stereo or mono connector? I thought that it recorded stereo but im really confused right now.

Yeah right with ya on that. If you mod your T1i just be warned that you need to be careful of damaging ribbon cables and also document what screws you pulled out of what holes as there are multiple sizes. Also the mic wires are really small and hard to strip and solder so if you want to still utilize the old mic at some time then leave enough wire on both sides for any future modifications.

Look at any of your recorded .mov file info and it should say
44Khz
Channels:1(Mono)

The T2i I hear does stereo recording.

Suddenly i felt no need of doing an external since the use of mono is outdated:/

There are a ton of mics that are not stereo mics (many instrument mics, as well as wireless mics are not stereo) Just depends on what you need it for. I haven't poked around my T1i enough to figure out if it is a hardware problem or a software problem...
