DSLR Users, what mic do you use?

[Styxie]

So I might be buying a t3i in a little bit for some filming and I'm wondering about cheapish/decent external mics!
So, what do you use? Would you recommend it?
I'd get a H4N Zoom or something since I've actually used it, but it's just a little too pricey..
Suggestions?

Edit: On camera or external, both work

H1 Zoom looks pretty good, can't believe I didn't think about looking for mics in that range..Silly me

I've never used a microphone because I've never felt the need to but maybe I'll look into them just because you posted this thread and I have a shopping addiction.

I've used the mic portion on occasion, and it does pretty well - not gonna handle much distance, obviously. The lav mic works best for my style

Yea, plus I can take it around for audio interviews which is a plus . Lav mic might be what i'm looking for too, not 100 percent sure.[DOUBLEPOST=1366069386,1366069346][/DOUBLEPOST]

If you record vlog stuff etc a mic is great, I don't mind bad audio quality as long as the sound is good when watching skits/vlogs

A lot of pro YouTubers use the Rode Pro as well. I've got too much echo to use it effectively in my apartment, but it's a nice mic

I use the Zoom H1.. I'm pretty satisfied with it.. but I cannot say I'm completely happy with it..

Ah, what don't you like about it? If you don't mind

I use a Rode Pro, but just to sync with my Yeti since I mostly film within my apartment. The Rode picks up a lot of white noise so you need to remove that in Audacity or something.
