I bought this mic and I'm using it with my T3i. Unfortunately I didn't get to test it soon enough when I purchased the mic and the return/exchange date expired for both Amazon and the 3rd party vendor to accept it. In any case, the problem I found is...

T3i specs say it records in stereo as well as the mic. Don't know why you would only get the left side working. Could be a cable issue or camera issue. Sry I can't be more help. I use a 7d so its never given me any issues.

It is a headset microphone to be used with Sennheiser wireless emitter linked to a receiving station. Between you and me after having used it a couple of times the microphone started to make a lot of larsen noise. Too bad I did already post the review otherwise I would not have reccomended it. As for warranty there is none. I will now buy the original one from Sennheiser and put this on on the loss side of my P&L.;

I mentioned before that I can't personally fix your microphone it didn't happen to me. However you can call the company and see if there's a warranty on the product. If you purchase the product recently you can return it. If you purchase the product with an American Express card they will double the warranty. So the main question is when did you buy this product. My guess is the company will give you a year and replace it for you so you have to get a hold of them.if it's been over a year and you happen to use American Express you're in luck because they will back up the warranty for an additional year.bottom line is it either goes back to Amazon or goes back to the company and you would get a replacement. I noticed RadioShack has a repair center now so does Best Buy if anything else you can try them.

No, the microphone does not work with my Canon T3i, even with Magic Lantern Installed. You need a separate audio recorder, such as a Zoom H4N or Tascam dr-100mkii to amplify the volume/gain supplied by the microphone. In my test I used a computer. I now own a Tascam dr-60d which also does a good job at amplifying the Opteka, but this microphone is better suited for close-up recordings than long distance, directional microphones.

I have had mine for a while now and have had no problems. Works great with my T3i.

The issue I have with the Yeti, is really just a problem with the company Blue. They have horrendous customer service, so you have to really hope your mic has no issues. The Snowballs from the same company have had issues for people, especially the iCE version, which is how this was discovered. Audio Technica just seems like the much wiser choice for build quality and company support, plus its sized nicely to be installed into a shockmount, which you will want if you are going to use this thing professionally.

I wouldn't count on it. Look for a t17 screen? You could always just but it, try it out, and if it doesn't work go ahead and return or exchange it.

I tried to use it for a project. We tried a high end mic (sorry the manufactuer of the mic escapes me). It wasn't working and we chalked it up to defective mic. Later my colleague did some research and it turns out the camera wasn't putting out enough wattage for the mic.

It does not, since the t3 does not have an external microphone input. If you are purchasing a camera I would go with the t3i or t2i since they have mic inputs. If you have the t3 I would suggest getting the zoom h1 and record to that if you want a mic. If you want a better mic however I would go with thishttp://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=190806778822&index;=6&nav;=SEARCH&nid;=52424283937It is only a little bit more expensive but has a shock mount which proves invaluable. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me my email is agbobeck@yahoo.com

Since it's a gift I purchased for my daughter in Australia, I contacted the seller. He originally said he would replace the item but later came back & offered me half of my money back. I didn't feel that was ethical or fair so I filed a claim with Amazon. If you have registered the warranty with Clairsonic, I would contact them first. If not, then I would contact the seller. Good luck, I'm still waiting for a resolve.

I bought from a unauthorized reseller and it quit after 14 months. I called T3 and they said it was not under warranty because I didn't purchase at an authorized dealer. They did offer me a replacement at half the cost. So Buyer beware.

Hi Kevin, I ran into the same problem as I have a Canon T3 Rebel, which has no mic input. So I purchased this little adapter to plug the Takstar mic into my iPhone's headphone jack: http://amzn.to/1yUm7wk You will need to just sync the sound to your video recording via some editing software. If you're curious, I am recording on the iTalk app (free): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/italk-recorder/id293673304?mt=8 A bit of a pain, but worth the improved quality from the camera's built-in mic.

Likely not, as it's not self-powered. The T2i requires self-powered microphones.

I have been using this microphone as my computer mic for a few years now. No issues at all, I only saw this conversation because I am buying a replacement mic, since mine has finally worn out.

Yes, but to get the best (and most effective) results, your best bet is to buy a preamp recorder. I went with the Zoom H4N. Without a preamp recorder, you will hardly notice a difference with just the Ntg-2 into the t3i, and the integrated built in mic. If you can, get the Zoom H4N!

We had to return the one I got my son for Christmas. After we purchased the microphone I went out to get the adapter to USB. The computer said it was working but it never received audio input. I think it has to go directly into an amp. It seems like a great mic but doesn't fit our use. I replaced it with a snowball. Half the price and works great.
