Does Olympus make a similar mic but with a much longer cord?

No they do not, however a 3.5mm mono extension cord could be used. Some frequency loss could be experienced. Hope this helps.

It's a standard 3.5mm stereo minijack, the mic end is separate. The plug has a notch that prevents the mic from swinging into your face (the minijack is round after all). Without that notch you might have the mic swinging around, but it should work just fine, as long as the plastic part doesn't get in the way, with its diameter of ~10mm.

Dear Gregory,You can certainly use a longer power cord--in fact, a better quality power cord can result in better sound the supplied one! I carry the full Audioquest line of power cords.Eric C

Hey Amber,The cord is about 2.5-3 feet long; please do not hesitate on this mic. If you put it into a zoom h1 as a lavalier recorder, you will be impressed.I just did a wedding and my wireless mics all had dropouts. This mic with a zoom h1 saved the video; super clear quality and it picks up a LOT. But you need to make sure it is run to a recorder that provides power to the mic (zoom h1 is perfect)

I don't now if you can get pre made adapters for it.i don't remember if it is strictly microphone type input or if it has 1/4 in inputs.. if it has 1/4 in inputs you can more than likely get adapters for it... good luck

I am not sure if there is a mic adapter for that mic. I am sorry that i can not answer your question.

Personally, I would go directly to the Olympus website. You will have much better luck and they can tell you exactly which cable will fit your camera and WORK correctly.

This mic should work with any recorder that has a 1/8" (Mini-Plug) input. Though, the cord is only 3' long.

to me it is a hit and miss on the olympus ME-51S stereo Mic. I used it on my Gopro hero 2 and had problems with it recording. I might have gotten a bad unit. I have not tried the ME51S on any other devices/recorders that I have but I will try it some time in the future.

Absolutely, it does! This is the best voice recorder I have personally owned. Check out this site: http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/VN-702PC_VN-701PC_Detailed_Instructions_EN.pdf

I suggest you check with the company that makes them. The one I got for an Olympus camera works great.

The cord on the microphone is 10 inches. If you want to get the microphone away from the camera, you'll need to buy the 10 foot extension cord. Jim Dorothy

It's hard to find out, isn't it? I believe we are talking about the same camera. It appears the external microphone jack is an accessory that somehow fits into the shoe on the top of the camera.

Never shopped for a replacement headset for this amplifier -- but was extremely pleased to find out that we had an existing small stand-type microphone about 4" high that plugged in and worked great. My brother preferred it to the headset which can be uncomfortable. I'm not very "techy" but if you have any other kind of microphone that fits the plug-in, you might be right back in business without shopping and spending more money. Hope this helps.

Sorry, this is not a USB mic, so as long as you have an adapter i imagine you can make it as long as you want. But to clarify, this microphone, or at least mine, is not set up with a usb interface.

I would strongly suggest that you go directly to the Olympus website where they will tell you which cable will be compatible. If you purchase the usb cable from them, you can be sure it will work. Otherwise, you will be taking a chance. I gambled on this cable and lost.

I've used it at board meeting at times but the mike I've used and is incredibly good is the Olympus ME-51S Stereo Microphone. Yes it cost more but at a board meeting with someone sitting almost 30 feet away I still get a good recording, I just turn the volume up a bit.
