hahaha... Shhh... how dare thee poisonth us!

LOL hAHAHHA

What Jib is it? from where

Hehehehe, knew that'd crack you up
Kessler Crane summore wei How not to not poison like that 
That is sweet! quick and portable Downside, a bit hard to do technical shots like panning and tilting... >.<
but it still gives a very sweet perspective

hahaha means it's time to play with some new creative style Lol, yeah it was a good choice to go for a jib ... a rig can still always put on hold

Hahaha... doing aerial videography is definitely gonna change the whole ball game fore sure
There's always a GoPro to sub over the AEE Magicam ma, plus you get a whole load of mountings for the same price .... depends on the sort of style you're aiming for. I'd vote for the GoPro for the same price range plus with extra goodies provided

better wait for gopro 3 ! 120fps... can do crazy slow mo 

Zoom H4n? http://www.ckmusic.com.my/webshaper/store/...at.asp?catID=40

Well, it depends what's your budget like and purpose. Tascam Vs Zoom, they both have very similar characteristics.
But why would you want to use your Rode mic (presumably 3.5mm output) to an external recorder? Post prod would be a pain to sync. Might as well link it straight to your 5dmk2. (Plus it's weird to lug around the Rodemic + external recorder, since the rodemic is made to be attached to the HDSLR.

But for RM400, the H1N can replace your rodemic in a way xD. But like i said, depends what sort of work you do, and how much of an option you need on an external recorder. the H1n and H4n both records at 16/24 bits from 44.1KHz til 96KHz... For me I'd go for the H4n, because of the kind of stuffs i do with it, since it can record 4 different audio sources.. 2 SXR 1/4" jacks.

All-in-all I think the H4N would suit you in general. I can't give you a verdict on which recorder/kind of recorder to get because it all depends what you need it for.

and for Tascam, never used any of them before, so i can't comment much, but I'm basing on the assumption than both the Tascam and Zoom's functionality are similar .

P.S. your rodemic outputs 3.5mm jacks or XLR jacks?

Best explanation is... Imagine Holding a nice Blue Pilot G2 pen to write.... <-- that's the H4n...
now Imagine holding just the Blue G2 Pen's refill to write... <-- that's the H1n...

Both ink still produce the same smooth strokes

The H1n is a very good budget recorder just don't tap or touch the unit itself once recording via it's on-board mics.... it can capture each touch of the unit if touched (gettid? lol)

==================EDIT====================
OH OK OK now i get it! got confused when you said "Used together with my Rode Mic" ma.. hahaha
yeah, it's small and can easily be concealed! That'd work great! in that case, the H1n would do you good! If you find a nice mountin point then you can probably capture good audio at very very high bitrate like 24bit! and a nice 90 degree capturing angle form it's condenser mic lol (for noise treatment la in post)

Yup like what VinceCheong mentioned, the H1 body is very sensitive as the build is very plastic-y. For a normal audio recording, I would suggest the H2n. Only around RM540. Go for H4n only for the xlr input.

Simple LED panels from china would suffice most of the time.

Sorry not sure about that as I'm using m43 camera(no external audio inputs) to record videos. What I normally do is to play both recorder and video and snap my fingers or clap my hands at the beginning. Similar function as film slate/clapperboard. Then at home I will sync the audio+video using audio editing software, using the snap sound+me snapping finger(video) as the entry point. Got this from youtube tutorials. You might be able to find it.

rode mic and whatever camera add-on mic is only useful when the camera is always pointing to the audio source direction and distance variation is at a minimal.

other situations, still best to have audio recording device to do the job.
heavy?

Sony A99 looks like another great system for videography, a whole lot of add-ons available. just that Sony components not cheap.

also have a look at:

looks good for beginner kan? 

havent had any experience with follow focus..
just manually turn the focus ring.. *sigh*

Anyone can recommend me a good monopod (Budget RM300) and a steady video tripod that can mount and operate track without hiccup

how about a suggestion on a 'light' fluid head?
to mount on the slider..
cause the one im using now is quite heavy and makes the sliding, a bit jerky..

noted with thanks..
will source out for that big boy hehe

how about wireless clip-on mic? would like to try the external mic but for now i think i want to start recording audio + video at once..
easier to edit as a newbie (syncing2 problem lah ni)

Thanks bro, how about tripod?
