If you are looking for sfx and footsteps I would mount the mic on the
monitor Sled of the steadycam. There it won't interfere with the cameras
operation and will be a good 2 feet from the camera noise. It will also be
closer to the feet of the actors.. Use a directional (hypercardioid) mic
and a good shockmount (no big windscreens) to help minimize the cameraman's
footsteps. The Steadycam operator will grouse about having to re-balance
his rig, but the small amount of weight should not make much difference
since it is mounted on the counterweight. It is also less likely to pickup
noise from the video assist transmitter that is usually mounted at the top
or back of the camera.
