Can I charge my camera in Asia without a converter?
Aug 01, 2007 by bei j | Posted in Cameras
check the charger that came with it, see if it is duel, my charger that came with my Canon Rebel TXi is duel and specifically stated do not use a converter, it will shorten the life of the battery, just get a plug adaptor..
That was in the operators manual
I purchased my camera from N American dealers and I am currently in South Korea charging away.

You probably will need a converter, but go to Frommers.com or another travel website and see what kind of electrical outlets they use in Asia.

As you have purchased the camera in N.America, I assume that it is of 110V.
I don't know about the rest of Asia but it is 220V-240V in India, so you need the converter there. Actually nowadays the converter that comes with most of the equipments ( battery for a laptop for example) can work for both the voltages ( 110V to 240V). But the real problem is in finding the relevant plug. SOme are flat ones, In India it is round ones.. So you may need to check out the type of plug points in the countries you are going to visit.

Short version:
"Will the RODE NTG2 work with the XLR-BP basic?" Yes.
Long version:
I've used a BeachTek DXA-6 for a couple of years

and recently got a juicedLink CX321
http://juicedlink.com/
I have used a Sennheiser and Audio Technica shotgun mics - and currently own (and use) a NRG Research SA-568 and Audio Technica AT-825 (among a couple of lavs and some wire and wireless SM-58 handhelds)...
Since the Studio1 XLR-BP Basic does not allow Line/Mic switching and cannot provide Phantom power, it would immediately fall off my short list. Check into the juicedLink CX211 - no Phantom Power, but at least is Line/Mic switchable.
