Canon R82 Mini Microphone

Using this to record church services, works great with the canon vixia r82.

I have pondered this for some time, I use the canon vixia r82's that don't have a cold shoe for the mic to mount. so this works very well

I have a Sony wireless microphone set but recently i have been using my Canon 5D mark 2 to do video and the kit came with XLR connections. This mini to mini with locking connection allows me to plug directly into my Canon without having to use an XLR to mini converter

I take a lot of video of high school marching bands with my Canon HF20 HD video camera and from the stands the sound usually has a lot of fan noise especially when I use a wide angle lens to get more of the field in view. This microphone picked up all of the sounds of the band from well over 100 feet away and reduced unwanted sounds to a pretty acceptable level. I do this for fun and to build video shows for the kids to see. The combination of great sound with HD quality video makes for a great show. yep, a bit pricy but if better audio (on a Canon video camera with the mini advanced accessory shoe) is what you're looking for it's a great product and very easy to use. The only knock is that from what I can see you can only use the microphone with a mini advanced accessory shoe kind of limiting future uses - if I had any...

This is a great microphone. It does not require an audio interface. Simply plug it to your computer through USB and there you go! It also has an option for monitoring with zero latency. The default microphone sound level is too quite for my listeners. So, I use peace + equalizer combo software to adjust its dB output level (+18dB). I compared to my Rode Mini USB condenser microphone. Q2U had a more natural sounding and rich audio. Rode mini USB sounded little dull (or muffled). However, Q2U has much more ambient noise which requires more editing time at post production. As a teacher, I do not have extra time for that. So, I prefer Rode mini USB for my lecture recordings and I may use Q2U for broadcasting where recording is not a priority. Finally, this info can be useful to some: Q2U doesn't work with Notability on iPad Pro (3rd Gen), Rode Mini USB does.

Perfect for the�Schoeps CMIT mini Shotgun Microphone

I use this to mount a mini ball-head to a microphone gooseneck. Works fine.

I use Rhode shotgun Microphone on a canon 60D dslr. With the extension cord I can use the shotgun mircophone as a boom. Simply with the use of some rubber band and a broomstick I create an impromtu boom. This makes my DSLR rig a bit more flexible. I also can place the microphone on a table when interviewing people and thus have excellent sound pickup without having to fiddle with lavalier microphones. If you purchase a microphone with the small jack, get the extension cord too. I like the spiral section at the end that gives you a bit of extra flex to prevent damiging the cable when streched.

I use this with my Aputure AL-M9, LED. And a Microphone and iPhone, for a Mini PodCast Studio.

It is a fun look, like a mini camera. The gooseneck mounting system works very well with a desktop computer, as you are looking directly into the camera instead of the camera looking down or up on you. The microphone picks up well. It automatically installed on the Mac computer.
