I'd also get a boom pole or monopod (as cheap as possible), and long xlr and 1/8 inch cords.

NOT the shotgun, the CARDIOID microphone. The Audix ADX51 is a good one.

I don't see much need for a second Audix mic if you have the lavaliers for backup.

Here is a simple shock mount for the Audix mic. This one might not be rugged enough for a boom operator, but will be fine for what you're doing.

With a $1000 budget, I would avoid the 70D. It has a serious [moire challenge] (https://vimeo.com/73429088). And, like your T2i, it is limited to 1080p resolution, 30 minutes of continuous recording and a maximum 30 fps frame rate at 1080p.

You can put together an entry level studio with 4 times the 70D's video resolution plus 1080/60p slow motion for that kind of money.

Here's what I recommend [Referral Links]:

  Sound
  
  I recommend you get your mic off the camera and put it on a boom, closer to your subjects. [Here] (http://wistia.com/library/choosing-a-microphone) is why. Here are the boom, shock mount and cable I recommend:
  
  
• [Griffin wheeled boom for your mic - $74.95] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GBE7MG4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00GBE7MG4&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  
• [Shock mount to attach your mic to the boom - $10.99] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KXQIU5S/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00KXQIU5S&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  
• [20' of 3.5mm premium cable - $12.69] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JU84XE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002JU84XE&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  Lighting
  
  
• [LimoStudio 3 light continuous lighting kit - $49.50] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FHZ2SI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B005FHZ2SI&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  For a little over $1000, you'll be able to produce well-lit 4K content with decent sound and a stable image with smooth pans and tilts - with the ability to shoot 1080/60p slow motion if you need to.
  
  Here are some examples of what this camera can do:
  
  Narrative
  
  
• [Stars] (https://vimeo.com/137538379)
  
  Documentary
  
  
• [Fotograf Anna Ejemo] (https://vimeo.com/141640603)
  
  
• [Indianapolis 500 in 4K] (http://vimeo.com/130565657)

• [Bahamas] (https://vimeo.com/136657243)
  
  
• [Away From The City ~ Panasonic G7 [4K] 42.5mm F1.7] (http://vimeo.com/132028570)

  Timelapse and Slow Motion
  
  
• [Oostende Koerse 2015] (https://vimeo.com/138394549) (shot with its big brother, the Panasonic GH4)
  
  And here are a few examples from YouTube (please watch at 2160p and your monitor's highest resolution):
  
  
• [Voigtlander Nokton 10.5mm F0.95 Lens - Examples on a Panasonic G7 [4K]] (https://youtu.be/zLIc0n9K8Pk)
  
  
• [LUMIX DMC-G7 Sample Video in 4K by Colin Witherill] (https://youtu.be/fZllpp_y8Is)
  
  
• [Panasonic Lumix G7 / G70 Launch - 4K - 4KPhoto Modes] (http://vimeo.com/128536456) (shot in photo/video mode - each frame is an 8MP still photo)
  
  It's a pretty good still camera too: https://www.flickr.com/groups/panasonic-lumix-g7/pool/
  
  In my view, this is the best still/video, large sensor interchangeable lens camera you can buy below $1000 and a very good value for your money.
  
  Hope this is helpful, and good luck with your decision!

Also should I get a better shock mount if so what?

There's no threaded insert? On Amazon it shows it with a 5/8" thread, which is standard for mic stands.

The boom pole has a 1/4-20 thread (which is not standard for booms, by the way,) so you'll need this adapter.

A shock mount with a shoe adapter like this should work. It's got a 5/8 thread for when you get a proper mic stand. You should really try to get something to get that microphone as close to your source as possible. I'd skip the DIY option and just get a proper one since boom poles are really cheap.
