Is this a stereo mic? I'd like to plug it into my DSLR to improve over the internal audio. I know this is a cheap option but my budget is limited.

It can't record farther than a foot away, and I think it seems to have a shotgun polar pattern, but i haven't tested that too much

such a microphone will work. the criterion are a stereo (as opposed to mono) microphone and a 3.5mm plug which this mic is equipped with.

Definitely a mono mic. Especially with a mic this small, there would be no advantage for this being stereo. For a stereo effect, you would want individual microphones a distance apart from each other.

It is not a stereo mic, it is a shotgun mic. But even though it doesn't have the surround sound as the rode stereo pro, it's audio quality is just as good, if not better for live music applications, as you can point it directly at the musician and block out ambient noises. Where-as the stereo would pick up the people around and behind you almost as good as the musician. So for live music, I would definitely us a shotgun over a stereo mic unless you are standing I. The middle of the band or something.

Its probably not going to work. The audio have on the camera is stereo and this mic plus is mono. You may be able to find an adaptor at Radio Shack that would convert the plug to stereo at which point it would work.

I don't think that Mic will work, Brian. I used an Olympus ME 51s on my Canon T3i, an it worked great! Stereo too!

Setup was super quick and easy! There should be a detailed instruction manual in the packaging if/when you receive it. The microphone itself is extremely light! Just a heads up though, my friends and I originally bought this for a fan film we were working on, but soon learned it is *NOT* meant for DSLR Cameras (We were using a Nikon D90). It does, however, work when we plug it into our laptop, and the sound difference is amazing. I hope this helps!

I would like to have a mic setup where two of us can be in this end at the same time. Most mics are either with a headset, so wouldn't work for two people, or built in to the camera. The problem with that is it is really close to the speakers so I am concerned about feedback/distortion.

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.

Hi Sharon, I've only recorded a couple videos right after I received the camera and those were only for testing the record function. I didn't record any audio but I do remember some slight wind noise. I just did a quick test recording the tv sound and it was ok. If you decide to purchase the camera, keep in mind the microphone is located on top close to where you would hold it with your left hand. Also, it is not stereo. The camera has served my needs and I've been very pleased with it. Photos are not DSLR quality but pretty good nonetheless. Wi-fi backup and sending via email on my home network work great. Sorry I don't have a better reply regarding the sound quality.

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.

Its a single capsule mic. Its a mono source. Any microphone you plugin directly into the your 700D will show up on the left channel.

This camera is one we have. It has a built in microphone (stereo) and it has an external microphone jack for plugging in a microphone (mono). If you have xlr, you will need an xlr to 1/8" mono jack adapter.

This microphone will work for that but the quality will not be great. In order to capture the voice loud enough you would have to turn up the sensitivity in your camera which will add in a hissing noise. It will be alot better than the internal mic especially if your using a dslr.

You would use one of the audio inputs for plugging in this microphone. Most systems have a setting for mapping which microphone input goes to which camera. You would use the output to output audio to an external speaker for live playback of audio. You would have to have a speaker with an rca type connector to do so.

I haven't tried that yet. I would like to know myself. And also what the yellow icon is below the headphone and microphone jacks. If it does record properly (in stereo) email me at halsmithnauvoo@gmail.com. As a fellow-owner, we have to help each other out.

Brian - I don't know. But I can tell you, this mic is not something I would recommend. When I use it with my Canon T3i Camera, the camera supplies the voltage needed for the microphone (the mic doesn't have internal batteries). Sometimes, the camera voltage is too low and the microphone sounds very distorted. In addition, it tends to fluctuate in output - getting loud, then soft. A better choice would probably be one of the inexpensive Audio Technica battery powered mics. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.
