"External Sound for Canon"

The external mike for my Canon Optura 300 is great -- compared to the built in mike up over my eye that picks up my breathing and sniffling vs. the sounds of those I'm trying to video tape. I tested it on my grandaughter (3) and she launched into a song and dance routine. Now if I could just get her to stop twirling the wind screen ... it'd be perfect
I highly recommend this mike to all.
"Great item for the money"

I'm a semi-pro videographer and I bought this mic as a cheap solution for side projects. Another videographer friend of mine said "oh don't get that one, it's a piece of junk" but once I got it out and used it a few times it's actually a decent mic for the money. I'm really pleased with the quality of sound it gives out. I just wished it hooked into my shoe bracket easier, but I modified it so it would work better. If you're tight on money but want professional results, this is the mic for you.

At first, I was concerned with the quality for the price on this mic, but after using it on a few videos, I'm very pleased with the results. Instead of using the camcorder, I ran it into a portable digital recorder and then synced the audio and video. The results were very clean. It has a narrow pick up pattern which is what you want from a boom mic. For those who have a tight budget for gear, I find this an excellent value.
"Good microphone that works for line in recorders, but it is cardioid"

This is a good mike, with nice stereo recording, and it works on my iPod, voice recorder, which is line in only, supplying no phantom power for external microphones. However, this mike was clearly intended for use by someone holding it directly up to his mouth, instead of in, say, a lecture hall to take notes. For that type of application, you will want to switch from this type (cardioid or directional) to omnidirectional. Still, this would be an excellent mike for recording an interview, or for applications where you are trying to avoid ambient noises from interfering with your recording. Amazon got it to me in exactly the time promised, so I have no complaints.

Want a second.
Using it as a close-up vocal mic. Perfect jacks for my recorder.
"ATR25 disappointed"

I have to be honest I went for the price and was disappointed. I was looking for a stereo microphone that would improve the sound recorded by my camcorder. I made some test recordings using the ART attached to 2 different hot-shoe type mounting brackets. The first extended the microphone off to the left side and the other lifted it above the camera. I downloaded the footage on to my computer and opened it with Vegas Movie Studio Platinum. All three test attempts contained camcorder motor noise at about the same intensity in all attempts. The microphone has lots of features and accessories but did not work for me. I returned it to Amazon and opted to purchase the more expensive SMX -10 Azden and it worked just fine with no motor sound and it eliminated the background sound that the on-board microphone picked up.br /
