Need is the mother of all invention. This was what made a top notch company like Rode to create a lightweight, durable, and immensely high quality microphone for the miniDV camera. Peter Freedman, Mr. Rode himself, ?

?Stereo VideoMic Pro: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007HYVMY0?... The Stereo VideoMic Pro by Rode for SLR/DSLR Cameras! This is the successor to the VideoMic Pro, which launched in 2011. ?Dead Kitten: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product...

This mic looks cool, but has serious issue. I hear weird sound, like hissing or something high pitch noises. I thought that it might be the lense auto focusing, however, turns out it is from the MIC. Tested with different mic, there was no such noise, as well as interior mic from Panasonic.

I'll keep this short...does the job great, just make sure you learn to adjust the audio levels IN THE CAMERA for best results!

Durable; Easy To Use; Lightweight; Reliable; Well priced

I love this video mic. I use it with a Panasonic Lumix GH3 and it sounds really good. It's a little big for a DSLR camera but the audio quality is fantastic. When I really want to enhance the audio recorded from this mic, I will export the audio that's connected to the video file from Final Cut Pro...

I saw this Mic and rely wanted it. But when it came I got someone else package. Called up CS and told them what happened and gave them all the info they wanted even went as far as to send them pics of the box 3 times. I'm on the 3erd week when they said it would only take a week to clear.

None

I don't have it yet

This is a great product. The only reason I gave it a nine is because in all fairness I haven't tried another and there may be something that works better but my search is over. Especially for the price. Love it.

An excellent alternative to the generally poor captive microphones on dv and hd cameras.

Well made; good sound quality and well isolated from the camera

Somewhat short battery life and it doesn't make a good handle

Tried this on a couple of vlogs and it does the job quite well haven't sorted some of the levels properly yet so I'm stil getting used to it.
