Microphone not compatible with Canon camcorder (Vixia hf r80). Works on my DSLR but drains the battery because it has no battery power and picks up static. I had to return it.

Don't buy this if you don't want good audio. It's alright

Never able to get this to work two stars because it could just be me. I can say it is either defective or not a plug and play item.

Ended up returning for the next model up. Nothing wrong with it, just needed a higher end version.

I hoped it would cut out background outdoor noise like wind traffic etc. It was not any better than my IPhone built in mic. I bought a label mic that works much better.

I use my camera for auditions for national Casting projects, This mic is an all around mic that was exactly like the regular mic available already on my camera (Canon T3i). It's because it is a multi-directional mic, but for what I was needing I needed a Uni-Directional mic. The reason I'm giving it one star instead of maybe 3, is because it wasn't a case of simply being the wrong product, it was more the fact that even with that fluffy thing on it, it didn't cut the noise AT ALL. Largely useless.

The mic quality is pretty impressive. I gave it 2 stars because of the ridiculously small cord and hard to find extension.

Can’t tell the difference between the 90d internal mic and this one. Clearly I need to find out how to change a setting to take advantage of the sound quality promised.

because it multi directional, as well as most likely a lack luster quality, my DSLR (Canon T3i, quite old as well), it is literally no different than the regular equipment. It is such a shame that I haven't had the chance to use it, and when I did, how I wish I could return it. . . . spring for the shot gun mic (From Rode's, works excellent), this particular mic is kind of a waste in my eyes.

I purchased for use on both my Nikon D7500 and my Osmo Action camera. Honestly, I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong of I have a defective item. I cannot tell any difference what so ever on either of those devices. I wish there was a light or something that tells you that it's actually on. I'm planning on returning this.

It give a bad Staticky noise. The fur falls apart. I really wouldn’t recommend this.

sound quality not so great thinking on returning and exchaging it it for the rode go when they arrive

Mic Sounded ok but wind noise wasn't blocked buy Cat Tail. forget about mounting it to a tripod it only mounts One way they should include at least a adaptor to mount it. I couldn't mount it, So, I returned it. I wasn't impressed buy it.

Nice idea did not work for me.Did not put out enough volume to use with my gopro

Couldn't hear anything capturing with this mic even at house. My dslr d6 has better mic than this one.

My voice recorded low from 2 to 3 feet away. It would pick up the surrounding sounds better.

Regret buying, regret that I didn't notice Best Buy's very poor (15-day) return policy. Bought for GoPro and couldn't use without buying another expensive accessory.

I used it to record a presentation it worked on the test but not when it counted. 6 hours of a presentation recorded without sound. Don’t waste your money.

No difference in quality what so ever! Don't waste your time. Purchase a SmartMike+. Cost is twice the amount but totally worth it.

DON"T BUY IT (NEVER WORKS WITH GOPRO) I thought it was working for a year, but it turned out it wasn't working. It's the worst.
