What microphones mount onto the Canon 6d and do not record onto the Camera's SD card but another storage source? With microphones such as these we don't take any performance hit with our write speeds...

Not out yet but hoping its better than the H4n. :D
H4n is good, I've used it on a couple projects. The onboard mics are rough, though; make sure you invest in a solid shotgun mic and dead kitty as well.
Thanks or the links guys it's perfect! When is the H6N to be released?
Dang, that H6 is nice. Swappable mics too—Genius!

Don't forget that you still need to record reference audio in-camera (if you want to be able to sync audio to your external recorder..)
Greetings, The sync-beep function inRaw module is more than enough for syncing audio from H4n. By the way, I have been happy with a Rode NTG2 for audio.
My two cents.

Its helpful but it's not necessary. Right?
And for the sync beep, for some reason I can't rap my mind around how this would help. Can somebody explain how one would use the sync beep to sync audio?
@xNINELiVES: The beep is timed exactly to the "shot time" of the first .DNG in the raw sequence. So you literally drag (in the timeline of your NLE) the external audio you recorded (you did start sound before picture, right?) until the beep lines up with the beginning of the first frame. Boom: synced. You don't need an in-camera sync track to match up to, as long as the sound recorder you use catches the "beep" sound of the first-frame sync beep. Of course, you have to keep track of what you shot and what you recorded, because if you shoot for awhile you might have multiple beeps on your externally-recorded sound track. Cheers!

Why didn't I conceptually understand this earlier?! Thanks for the explanation :)
Wouldn't it be great though since we have a camera that records audio to get a reference track to sync up with / have as a backup?

Yeah it would be great but it saturates part of the write speed for the video.
