Cheap and Effective
Rode VideoMic Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone

I tried the other mini jack mics. This one was the best. Make sure to get the sock. Makes the mic look cooler ;)
Good mic

Used the Rode mic for shooting baseball outside in the wind; directional, good sound, no wind noise. Unfortunate that it doesn't fit directly in the mount on the top of the Canon video cam, and so requires a bracket.
Good value

Easy connection, secure mount, simple shock dampening system. 2 settings. Does improve sound recording. The high setting filters well unwanted noise. Will require extension bracket with some LCD monitor locations.

Just began using my videomic at my son's soccer game. It picked up their voices on the field from afar without the intrusion of noisy parents nearby. It mounted easily on my Canon 5D Mark II and seemed quite sturdy. So far I am greatly impressed with the results I am getting from this product.

This produce is very handy when it comes to traveling around town with my camera backpack. The mic picks up sound very well and there are now downsides to it. GREAT PRODUCT! I shoot with the Canon T2i.

versatile and quick to mount,needs better placement so you can use viewfinder to take snap shots as well. your head hits the back when trying stills shots. Moving the mount forward and sliding the mic back to keep weight balance will enable both video and stills to be taken
Another value from Rode

Will this offer years of service in a professional, everyday use environment? Probably not. However, it will give you a marked improvement in your audio quality at a fantastic price. Sound quality is best from a boom pole in my opinion.

I use the Rode VideoMic for making short videos on my Canon 5D MKII. Sound is excellent and keeps out all the noises that the internal mike would normally pick up from focusing, changing zoom distances, etc.

Reviewed by andrew2004b on B&H Photo Video
This mic is great, it produces great sound in a very simple frame. The one thing I would say is that a dead cat is needed if you shoot in the wind. Other than it does pick up some wind noise the mic is wonderful, easy to use and gets the job done.
Well worth the price

It has a cheap lightweight plastic feel but works better than expected. A very good value for the relatively low price. I'm very glad I can improve the souns so inexpensively since I mostly use it for family videos.
Great Mic

I bought this to use with my canon 60d. I chose the shotgun over the stereo because isolating the sound is going to be more important that having stereo in almost every case that I'm shooting. I do commercials and wedding videos.
Excellent!

The manual for the mic doesn't show how to screw the mic onto the boom pole; after figuring out the one screw that holds it, the connection is a bit flimsy. The set up is light weight and easy to handle.

What can I tell you, it's as all the reviews say...brilliant!! I mainly use this mic from reference audio, however it's definitely able to be used for more crucial recording. Thoroughly impressed with my purchase, I'll always buy Rode from now!!

For the price, you cannot beat the quality & functionality of this well-built microphone. It is lightweight & needs to be handle with appropriate care. The cardioid pattern picks up surrounding sound well but keep central sound primary.
If you're unsure to purchase this, it's definitely worth it.

I bought this and it has exceeded my expectations. Very high quality sound, really nice to edit in post. Good for Natsound and INTs. Even good outside. Windscreen works great for interviews outside. I use this with my shoulder mount and it works great. No complaints here!
