I'm using this in conjunction with an HDR-CX900E camcorder and it's mounted and connoted very quicks and easily using the Multi-Interface Shoe. No extra cable connecting or fiddling! I'm using this Mic to film outdoors and in windy conditions therefore using the provided windscreen.
Works well within its limits. I bought it for use with a RX10 iii but you can't expect the microphone to have the kind of reach that the telephoto lens does! Pricey, but convenient
There are situations when the in-camera microphone is not directed properly to the subject sound and the microphone picks up extraneous sounds. The lens hood on many cameras further reduces the pickup of the source by hiding portions of the in camera mic.
Simple to use, with excellent sound capture and reproduction. Fits easily onto the camera hot shoe. Start filming and the mic takes over from the built-in. That's it! It does what its supposed to and does it well.
Having lost my camera and original microphone at a festival last year I had no hesitation in purchasing another one. Works straight out of the box and delivers beautiful sound post production. The wind muffler that is supplied is a God send.
My camera is a Sony Alpha II, which is a very good mirrorless dslr, that takes movies as well. Of course the built in mic is minimal. I tried it out for real at a house concert, with serious audio equipment, and an audience of about 50.
Picked this up to use on my A6000 for both sermon messages and wedding shoots. It it very well made and provided a much high and clearer audio quality over the onboard microphone of the camera. Highly recommend this microphone for anyone who is wanting a boost in the sound of their A6000
I tried it once and it works well either with Sony and Canon cameras. A lot of low frequency. Stereo.
