This rugged, simple to use microphone works well with my DSLR camera. The audio quality for voice is acceptable. The mount dampens vibration well. Fine for amateur work.

Great audio, bad shoe

The mic itself is great. The audio is great. The price is great. It was great. The bad part is, despite my research into the mic, I was unaware that the shoe wouldn't fit into the shoe port of my Vixia. It's shoe too big. It'd be nice if I had known that so I could have been prepared. But all in all the audio is nice.

works perfectly!!!!

I just bought a second mike for my Canon GL-2 camcorder. The first was for my XHA1. I love the professional sound produced by this mike. It is very affordable and I don't see much room for improvement by the more expensive mikes.

Good Sound Quality and Easy to Use

This mic is very easy to operate and provides good sound quality to enhance the use of a video camera. I use with a Canon VIXIA HFS-100 HD Camcorder, mostly for interview-type situations for corporate videos.

Used to shoot classroom full of students. It's great for the stereo effect, but the limited shotgun capability. Not the best of both worlds.

Camcorder microphones are always prone to picking up some motor noise in many situations and the sound quality leaves something to be desired. This external microphone elimates these issues. I couldn't be more pleased and the price was very affordable.

Ready to go right out of the box. I did not have to tape the sides to avoid noise behind me and I do not get any camera noise. The rubber mount is well built

tested the mic with videos shot with my Canon 60D vs the in camera mic and the sound was much fuller. Put it through my 100 watt Sony with surround and recorded music sounded much better compared to the in house mic.

This microphone is great at it's price of $. if it was $100 it would be just a okay microphone.However... you need to make it a habit of remembering to check if your microphone is off.. with no light to indicate if its on or off.

Picked this up for external sound on a Canon T2i with Magic Lantern installed (to disable AGC). Works really well. This is my first microphone so I have nothing to compare against but I am happy with the purchase.

This isn't the most professional of mics. But it is good quality, certainly much better than you would get with the built-in mic.

This is a great little mic for traveling. Took it on a two week trip, it's light, sounds great, I haven't gone through a battery yet, but I reckon it'll last a really long time and who travels without an extra AAA anyway?

Great Investment! Reasonable Price

I'm very pleased with this microphone. It works quite well with my Sony camcorder. There is no adjustment for output--only an on-off switch and a high-low response switch.

I would definitely by this product again
