Hey guys, just got this mic from B&H about 2 weeks ago, been playing around with it and in pretty much every video, maybe every other, it will bump the audio levels up super high for just a second. I have a t2i with magic lantern. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? maybe its a problem with the mic? Im thinking about contacting B+H or Rode if i cant figure it out. If anyone has experienced this before your input would be appreciated!

Happens to me too and I have ML as well. doesn't really bother me though, I just don't use that little tiny part, it only happens right in the beginning though, not sure about yours.

Look up in the ml settings for disabling the agc (autonatic gain control) this is the cause. I think you can on your t2i , we cant in t3i's tho
