May I connect the microphone using a 3.5 mm adapter to my Canon Camcorder, or do I need an amplifier?. does it have a good volumen when recording?

I don't see why you couldn't connect it if you have a 3.5 mm adapter, although I have never done that before. Not sure how it sounds when recording but to give you a suggestion, you might want to look for a different product because to me it doesn't seem like a good choice if you're trying to record a voice or something else. It's mostly good for live situations, like if you're plugging it into an amp to have a jam session. Hope this helps!

Nope, you need a pre' amp interface usb like from m-audio . You will get way better quality. But there are some good usb mic out there on amazon.

Your 7D has a 1/4" input and almost all professional(Ish) mics output "XLR" you will need to buy an adapter and a cable in order to make the connection you want, however I would recommend first going through some sort of pre-amp. A $50 mixer would do if you want to go ultra cheap.If you go straight into the camera, be prepared for some nasty fuzz.

I don't know what that is... But, basically, if your software allows recording from a microphone plugged into your computer's 'line in' or 'microphone' jack and it's a 3.5mm type (the most common), then you should be fine. Keep in mind, though, that the cord is only 3 feet, so if your computer's input jack (mentioned above) is in the back of your computer, then it might not reach.This microphone is mainly useful for camcorder use (Because the built-in microphone on most camcorders do not record sound very well, or, even if they do, they pick up all of the sounds in the room rather than mainly your voice).FH I don't know what that is...

Yes, i do, and it works perfectly fine with this cable. I have a canon 600d with magic lantern installed on it. Even if the internal sound amplifier of this model can't do a very good job, you still can rise a little bit of sound recording level (almost zero gain), but boost the volume with mic itself. I have been using a hahnel mk200 dslr microphone for ambience sound recording or a sennheiser wireless lavalier microphone for voice recording. It is necessary to attach a sound amplifier to the output of the sescom cable to get reliable sound monitoring, it can be used a FiiO E6 Portable Headphone Amplifier.

As said, it depends on the distance, but if you can hear it yourself, the mic will pick it up. You may want to increase the sensitivity to +20db, though. In any case set your camcorder's mic level as low as possible, or you will get a lot of noise. This is in general a good idea from my experience (I am using a Sony CX730)

I use it for external audio with my canon dslr's. The preamp in those cameras is pretty lousy, so expect mediocre sound quality. I use an external audio recorder for it and sync the audio in post. I use the H1 Zoom and get excellent audio quality. Definitely the recommended method of recording audio with those cameras. I love this audio technica set as well. Sounds really great.

Does the canon HF R21 Camcorder have a 3.5mm microphone jack? If so, then yes, this works with any camera that has a 3.5mm mic jack. I personally use it with my canon t3i

Well, it is analog and is intended for use in an amplifier. But you could probably use an adapter that converts the analog to digital, but I don't know what the quality would be. If you want to do that, something like this should work: niceEshop(TM) 2.5mm Male to 3.5mm Female Stereo Audio Jack Adapter Cable,Black" rather thanBut if you're using it in an amplifier, it's a great microphone. But I recommend you get these as well to protect it from spit and such: Bluecell Black 5 Pack Microphone Windscreen Foam CoverBut if you want a good digital microphone for recording in a computer sound editing software or just for voice chatting or whatever, I recommend this: Frisby Stand Alone Microphone for PC Computer Laptop Notebook, VOIP, w/noise cancelingHope I helped ;) Well, it is analog and is intended for use in an amplifier.

You will need a cable that fits your camara input or external mic to the output on this unit I think is 1/8 to 1/4 in both ends malel

I think it depends on what camera you're using. If it's something similar to the Canon t3i, I would recommend that, if you really can't spend any more money on a microphone, you just use the mic built into your camera. The audio quality is not outstanding, obviously, but it's acceptable if the film is low budget. If you are really interested in improving your audio quality, I would look into microphones made by the company Rode. Just search "Rode microphone" in the Amazon search bar and there should be plenty of results. Usually these microphones range from about $150 - $250. I hope this helps! - Chairlift Productions

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.

We had to buy an adaptor but we had an amplifier. We had someone at a local music store help us. They also told us it is a very strong microphone. More for studio use. But if you have the amp and adapter it should work.

Hi, I am looking to buy a mic to attach to the accessory shoe on the Camcorder. Can I use any mic or do I need to buy a Panasonic mic only? Please recommend a good brand if I can use any off-the-shelf mic. Thanks!

I do not own the camcorder (I prefer Canon), but a quick look at it on Amazon shows that it has a microphone input. This means that it will work. Due to the fact that camcorders have poor pre-amps, I would suggest getting a small dedicated voice recorder like the Zoom H1 with it and use that to record sound and sync it up in post production.
