Ok, great, thanks. What bag do you use?

I was wondering, how do you transport your tripod with the SliderONE attached? It looks like it would be too wide to fit in most tripod bags.

I recently bought a Canon XC10 and I have a very similar audio setup as in this post. I have a Beachtek MCC-2 to mix the signals from a Rode Videomic Pro and the Rode Filmmaker wireless kit. I was recording an event the other day, keeping my levels around -12db, but there is a considerable amount of background hiss once reviewing the footage in post.
In the camera audio menu I discovered that the manual audio gain level for audio coming into the camera was set at 79, this must be the factory default level. With other DSLR type cameras I have seen that people recommend that you set the audio gain level to 4 or 5 on the camera and then turn on the +20db audio gain on the external mic that you are using, i.e. Rode Videomic Pro.
I did this with the XC10 but 4 or 5 on the camera with +20db on the Videomic Pro was just too low to pick up any usable audio, even with the audio level dial on the MCC-2 turned up to max. So, my question is, could anyone recommend a good level to set the camera audio gain to in the audio menu in combination with the MCC-2, Videomic Pro and Wireless kit to achieve good audio without any dodgy pre-amp camera hiss?
Cheers,
