Looking to get a mic for recording video on an iPad. Has anyone tried with this mic and if so what has been your experience.

Its a decent product. The range is not very good and there is some small noise (most likely due to the long and thin cord. However, for the price it wasn't bad and it did a great job indoors. Outside though, make sure there is no wind or other ambient noise.

A very good mic for the money. I have used this mic on three shoots for commercials that were posted on Yellow Pages website. It gives very clear audio. The cord is very long. I highly recommend this mic.

For acoustic concert, this is a terrible camera. iPhone4 has a better sound quality than this. However, I'm wondering if the sound quality would get better with an external microphone. Anybody has had any experience on this?

Hi, Yes. I've used it extensively with my iPad 4 for a number of months - heavy-duty use carrying my iPad 4 around on it hooked to a tripod to take videos of theatrical productions - set builds, costume creation, rehearsals, performances, etc. for hours at a time. Enthusiastically endorse it!

There are a number of apps that work well on the ipad with this microphone. Amplitube is a good app, although some in app purchases might be needed. Also, Cubasis is a very nice one,although a little pricey. Garage band is also the fall back app being both versatile and a great performing app. Hope that helps.

I use them with my Android tablet and it should work with the iPad just as with any other mic. Although I am not a iPad user. You would also need to get a converter plug from 1/4 in to 1/8 inch or whatever your mic input requires.

This little simple-to-use mic worked perfectly fine for me recording voice and discussion groups on iPod Classic... until the iPod itself stopped working completely. I then bought a new iPod Touch and have been using the standard internal recorder which has truly fantastic in all circumstances. Other option which worked well for me was the Belkin TuneTalk which worked extremely well for me over many years, just significantly bigger than the Menotek Mini you're considering. TuneTalk also works best with an additional high-quality mic plugged into it, but not vital. Good luck.

Although I have not personally tried it, the Apogee website specifically advertizes the MiC as a useful tool to capture high quality audio when recording either audio or video from an iphone or ipad. I can see no reason why it would not.

Hi and I hope my response is helpful. I used the tripod mount to video tape my students while they were giving oral presentations. It was easy to mount and it held the iPad in its place during all the video tapings- no problems whatsoever. There might be a more sophisticated- more robust mechanism out there, but this one worked well for my purpose and budget.

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

That's how I use it on both my iphone and ipad. You just can't hear the mic live through the headphones while recording. It works great.

This model will not work on the iPad Air or the 5 series phone. The reason being it needs the 30 pin connector to plug into. I use mine on the iPhone 4S and it is a fantastic mic. You can get true professional field recordings with it. The good news for you iPhone 5S and iPad Air owners is that Rhodes does make a model for you now. It's slowly been hitting some pro audio sales sites or just go to Rhodes website.

I had my ipad in a case. I had to take it out because it blocked my camera. I am not sure what is going on. I watched the screen while I filmed. I did not have a problem. I would recommend a remote mike because while I could hear what was said on the video, it was nt best quality. I was filing from 10 to 12 feet away so I could get the whole stage.

I use it with windows 8 and it's flawless men recording, not sure how it works with an iPad

In the video (last "photo" box) he specifically shows how to hook this mic up to an ipad and talks about how the ipad port produces enough juice to power the mic. At least with that iOS device this mic works. Maybe an iphone wont be able to power it up, but the video does not answer that one.

Yes, it will work fine for this. Remember that MiC is a USB condenser microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern. So when I record conversations I don't put the MiC in the middle of the table. Instead, place it at the side of the table where nobody is behind the microphone. The sound quality is excellent when recorded on iPad or iPhone.

I have used this mic. with a mini disc recorder and it worked wonderfully! If your camera has the capability of stereo recording this mic. can be good depending on what type of videos / audio you want to record. It is an excellent mic. for unplugged music events, recitals and concerts. One thing you should not place this mic. close to you but at least 10 feet away from what you want to record.

You should be able to, but you'll have to buy a 3.5mm headphone/microphone splitter. iPad devices use the hybrid jack (I forget the proper name) and will not recognize microphones unless you use a splitter. This will also allow you to use headphones at the same time for monitoring the audio, if your recording app supports that.
