Did anyone used this on Rebel camera? I just got the mic and tested but not happy with it. This mic enhance the AF motor noise worse than internal mic

Yes, same result here. Really unhappy as the noise was unacceptable when used with my Cannon Rebel T2i

Brian - I don't know. But I can tell you, this mic is not something I would recommend. When I use it with my Canon T3i Camera, the camera supplies the voltage needed for the microphone (the mic doesn't have internal batteries). Sometimes, the camera voltage is too low and the microphone sounds very distorted. In addition, it tends to fluctuate in output - getting loud, then soft. A better choice would probably be one of the inexpensive Audio Technica battery powered mics. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.

I actually received this product as a reward from coca-cola... anyways... if you, like me, have one that does have a mic cable attached to the camera, then there is a built in microphone. You have to manually select it from your control panel, but it's there, it works. As far as where in the device it is... I don't know. I know that I get the best sound when I talk directly towards the lens.Manufacturer Support Page : http://www.shophde.com/a32i.html

Hi Veronica,Sorry I didn't respond any earlier.What kind of recordings are you looking to make? This mic has a rich and natural sound to it.I am happy to answer any questions you have.Looking forward to hearing form you.Regards,Samir

The integrated flash feature will give you a cleaner, clearer recording. It will also eliminate any type of hiss you might get. Basically, your not recording into the camera's internal mic and preamp, which can be noisey. Thanks Bonnie.

I am not sure I checked the plugins and it worked on the 3 different types of cameras I have. The audio is not the greatest now so I bought some exterior mics and put them on the lines which worked out pretty good. Still am noticing a humming sound in the sound.

Just ran into this message thread, looking to update my wireless mic setup for my Zi8, that I've had since Christmas. Rick-whoever you talked to at Kodak must not be very well-knowledged. I have been using a wireless mic that I've had for nearly 30 years. I'm looking to find one with updated technology, hoping the quality will be a bit better. Hope I can, but if I can't, I know I have one that does work with it. It's an old RCA, but its range is only about 15-18 feet and I have to get the mic close to my mouth or decent sound pickup.

Okay, first thing you must and I cant stress this enough but you must know how your camera mic jack is wired. All of my cameras that I use are canon and pentax. They are all stereo mic inputs. That means it uses 3 connectors. If you dont know what I am talking about... Take a look at a plug on a pair of headphones vs the plug that is on the mic. Chances are your camera is wire like this or real similar. I do not use the cable that comes with the mic. I use one made by Hosa that has XLR on the mic end and it has a 3 connectore(stereo)plug on the camera end. The mic is not stereo, it just simply sends the same mic signal to the tip and the ring on the stereo plug. The cable in known as a dual mono cable. If you do not use this cable the adapter that you get with the mic will ground the mic line and quite possibly do what you are experiencing. I use this mic in many situations and it works great. I get great results everytime but again it is very important that you use the right connector cable.

I took some audio with my iPhone of the shutter in action in auto mode in decent lighting so you can hear for yourself. Read the video description as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdiwiOx0S90

Loud sound comes in fine. As far as manual audio control you're fairly limited with the onboard microphone. You can pick between two levels of sound: Normal and low. You can pick between 2.1 or 5.1, and that's about it. If you need more specialized control you can always get a small pre-amp and a microphone and run it to the line in on the camera. I've done this with several microphones and it's come out quite well.

I used it with my Canon t2i and had a shotgun mic and a CN-160 light attached with a hotshoe mount, and no issues... only thing I am not a fan of if the fact you have yo slide it to the end to adjust the fluid head.. Other than that I am cool with it over all

Excellent. That's the reason I bought mine. The stereo separation and frequency response is vastly superior the built-in mic in my Canon 5D cameras.

I have it in a Canon Rebel and have had no trouble. My camera reconized it right away. I know this is not exactly the info you wanted but maybe it will help someone else.

This is the XLR version (as Matthew pointed out, the USB version says it in the title). I haven't had any problems of hissing or background noise with this mic, the internal noise of the mic is actually superb. In Matthew's case, maybe it could be a defective mic (that should be exchanged under warranty), or a poor quality or damaged pre-amp, which is often the case.

Sorry for the delay coz this was buried in my inbox. At any rate, that is not normal. The only time you will hear sound is when you are zooming in/out which is normal for camera with manual zoom. There shouldn't be any motorized sound or hissing whatever. I am pretty sure that camera has either a defective mic or faulty video function. HTH and hopefully not too late.

I love the mic. If the hotshoe doesnt power it the kit comes with battery. I use it on my canon 60d for shooting sports video. Great sound. I just added the tascam for better recording
