We got this to match with a Vixia HF G20 and it has worked out perfectly. The outfit is used on professional video shoots (it was recommended to us by a well known director and DP as having been used on their work and having been excellent..

Easy To Use; Good Interface With Camcorder; Improves Performance; Lightweight; Quality Construction

We are still getting used to the mike, and have to try the other settings, but so far, in shotgun mode it has improved the sound quality a bunch. Above that, I would highly reccomend purchasing any product thru JR. Very professional, and follow through and communication is perfect.

Very happy with the pure straight, not boxed in like sound, compared to the inbuilt cannon microphone.

I Bought this mic 3 years ago, The hot shoe must have gotten bump some how and I did not know it, I shot a couple of events and I noticed a small clucking sound in my videos. It only happen when I walked with the camera. So I figured it out what was wrong. I called canon.

"The mic does exactly what it says it will do. I have tested all modes. The mic is definitely better then the built in mics on the Canon camcorders. There is more depth to the sound. I find I like the ""SHOT GUN"" and ""90 degree STEREO"" mode the best.

This is a great accessory for my Camera, especially because I shoot outside a lot so less wind noise is such a pleasure for me, but other than that, it works so well for a consumer camera I am pretty amazing.

Absorbs great sound; perfect clarity and crystal clear; its very easy to use; compact and the background noise is kind of drowned out as the sound direction is switchable...

Very expensive while is feels cheap; but it works

Fantastic addition to the camera. Works so much better than the standard internal microphone. Wind cover works really well and cuts out wind roar in even the most extreme conditions. Easy and quick to fit. Shot gun works as effectively as a hand held mic. in front of the subject.

Hugely powerful and refined sound; Classy premium design; Easy to install and operate; User-friendly features;

No HDMI ports; Bass can be overpowering; Discrepancy between loud and quiet moments;

Once you make peace with having to pay roughly one-quarter of the price of the HF100 just for this mic, you'll be very happy with the substantial improvement it provides over the Vixia's internal mic. It's just a shame Canon accessories are always so expensive.

Provides superior audio to the internal mic; Selectable shotgun (mono), 90* and 120* pattern stereo modes; Eliminates wind noise; Lightweight

Typically high Canon list price

Bought this mic for a Canon HFS100; We went to Maui and the audio turned out beautifully; The wind noise is non-existent; Glad I purchased it
