Would this work with a Canon EOS 60D DSLR into the mic input without hack if I don't need audio monitoring? Would I need Magic Lantern to disable AGC?

No. This has a four conductor mini plug for standard mobile phones. I've plugged it into my eos m and got no response.

I'm using the "Rode VIDEOMIC Directional Shotgun Mic w/Mount" with my canon hg10. Is not that expensive, exhibits low noise and offers a switchable high pass filter to reduce unwanted low frequency rumble. I truly recommend you this product.

Yes, it should work. See if you can control the audio input of the mic via the camera movie>audio menu (or leave it on auto audio input), or you may want a separate mixer/adapter. You may find that you will not hear the audio when you do a movie playback on the camera itself, but the audio should be there when you view the movie on your computer.

I use it with my Canon T3i and haven't noticed any lag. Like Bryce said his screen goes black for a few seconds when switching modes, mine goes blue. I would suggest pressing the record button on your camera a few seconds before actually filming so everything syncs up properly. But to answer your question....no lag.

It uses the flash mount to communicate. On the a6000 just slide it in and the internal mics will be disabled.Power is drawn from your camera directly.

Get Zoom H1, H2 etc.. those audio recorder not mic, unless you wanna buy rodeo mic but might bit a big to carry together with this lens, zoom h1 is great but you need spare battery since it runs out fast. also keep mind of the zoom h1 screen when recording, you do not want to record video and forgot to turn on the zoom mic. Problem is the agc noise, you had to output zoom h1 to very high volune to take out the agc noise.

I recommend a Fiio E6 amplifier between any microphone and camera, where the mic does not have a boost function. Without this, the sound may be poor and you may be tempted to blame the mic when the problem is actually in the camera.

You can upgrade the 50D to Magic Lantern Firmware and it can record Video at 24 and 30 FPS, full HD ! No audio though. You may use an external audio recorder and synch it with Video. "DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK" is the advise by ML, but it is such an easy upgrade and supported by the community well. Using it for 1 month and absolutely no issues. Behaves like a normal camera for stills, though ML provides so many extras you never knew this camera was capable of !

This might be of help to you, a lot of good advice about using the H2 http://www.2090.org/zoom/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=9745 notice that they say the AGC is just a digital adjustment so they recommend leaving it turned off since you could simply choose to AGC it when eidting on your computer later (whereas if you AGC with the H2 you don't have the option of undoing it later) As for software, Audacity is free and has a 5 star rating from Cnet http://download.cnet.com/Audacity/3000-2170_4-10058117.html?tag=mncol

The BeachTek DXA-2T will solve your problem. It accepts two XLR shielded inputs and puts out through a 1/8 inch cord directly into your dslr. That way you are using shielded cable to within a couple inches of your camera. It's a bit pricey but well worth the money and you can buy them used. Another solution is dual system sound. Use a seperate digital recorder (I use the Zoom H4N) and a clapboard. Using a field mixer will allow you to apply high pass filters, limiters, etc. and to mix the sound exactly the way you want it.

Yes it will work. However, the Canon T2i has no way of turning off Auto Gain Control. That is the cause of the hissing and popping. If you want more control of the sound quality recorded by the T2i I highly recommend using Magic Lantern www.magiclantern.fm Word of warning though, make sure and read everything carefully before trying to install ML on your camera. The chance of bricking your camera does exist but doing your research will keep that from happening.

If your camera has a 1/8" mic input, this mic will work directly with your camera (i use mine with my Nikon D7000). to use it with an external recorder, the recorder would need a 1/8" input (or adapters) to use this mic...the mic only has a 1/8" plug for connections. The mic has its own onboard power, so you won't need to use phantom power.

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.

What kind of camera are you using with this? I don't mean to be argumentative but the info says: " The mics plug into a camera's 3.5mm mic input and are powered from the standard plug-in power supplied by the DSLR camera."

I've had nothing but good luck with this camera. I've had no problem with the built in mic. I thought it worked greast. I haven't noticed any noise. You may have a defective camera. I'd contact Panasonic.

Actually if you have the right Canon camera you can get Magic Lantern which is a firmware companion that you load on each SDHC card where you want additional tools for the camera. The two you will want to enable are 'Peak Focus' and 'Magic Zoom'. These features allow you to use the LCD to achieve perfect focus on your subject. Peak focus will highlight the areas in the LCD frame that are in focus with red dots surrounding those objects in focus while the Magic Zoom will allow you to zoom in and verify that what you have in the crosshairs in the display is in focus (the zoom box will glow green when the crosshair area is in focus). This lens is FANTASTIC with these augmented features for both motion and still photography. The other folks that answered earlier are probably unaware that Magic Lantern can compensate for the manual focus nature of this lens. This is my "go-to" lens for everything. You will quickly learn how to focus with the tools described and it won't bother you one bit that the lens is not automatic focusing.
