Getting your mic closer to your subject is always better than mounting it on the camera. That said, you don't want to run audio from a Rode Videomic over a long cable run due to the susceptibility of its 3.5mm unbalanced output to RF interference and hum (please see [this article] (http://www.aviom.com/blog/balanced-vs-unbalanced/) to understand why).
If budget permits, you might want to consider [Referral Links]:
With this setup, you can run balanced XLR output over relatively long distances with very little chance of introducing RFI.
If your budget does't support a pro mic, and you end up buying the Rode Videomic - you can get it [packaged with a boom and cable] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QCMEXIU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00QCMEXIU&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) for only a few dollars more than the microphone alone.
All of that said, your sound chain is only as good as its weakest link - if you are plugging your mic directly into a camera with a noisy preamp, RFI would be the least of your worries.
Good luck!
So far great, it has amazing zoom and works well in the dark because of its lowlight. I would suggest getting it if you are into recording events. Here's my youtube if you are interested in checking out the footage. I am still learning its full potential, but it's a great camera if you can afford to shell out the money. You will need to know that the microphone you use needs to be independently powered because the camera will not power it(ex. Rode video mic go) and if you use a bigger mic such as the rode video mic like I am using, make sure you have a shoe adapter for the rear so the mic doesn't hang over the lens. Here's the dead cat for the mic. In total, expect to spend around $300 on equipment for the camera if you don't already have it and make sure you get extra batteries for it because that 180 minutes of recording can feel really short if you are using the camera a lot.
Hi, I'm about to buy all the gear and I was wondering if this mic would do the job (this would be instead of the one u suggested) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QCMEXIU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1DWIGEC87XNXD&coliid=I1MEHW5RSLIW8P&psc=1
