HV30 compatibility: Does this mic work on a Canon HV30?

The HV40 has the Advanced Access Shoe. If the HV30 has that, it fits. You could visually compare access shoes by looking at the product pictures for the HV40.

You should be able to. I use it with a Canon Vixia HF R500. As long as it has an external microphone jack. You may or may not need an adapter, I am not familiar with your model....but it should work.

As long as the recorder has 1/4 inch input it will work fine. I use mine with a Zoom h2n on a regular basis. You'll probably want to invest in a shielded extension cable as the chord on the mic is very short.

Yes, you'd have to add a Depth of Field Adapter and you can then use Canon or Nikon SLR lenses. I built one for my HV30 here: http://www.youmademedoit.com/diy-35mm-dof-adapter-for-canon-hv20hv30hv40/ -- if you're interested, I'd consider selling it.

They are not all compatible. Mine worked well first time. just make sure you keep the mic right up to your lips.

This should work with any camera that has an 1/8" mic input on it. (I am using it with my Canon hf r42 camera and it works great.) As I mentioned in my review, however, the little "extension" cable did not work on mine. Just skip using it and you'll be fine.

Hi Richard, It should work with your canon, as you have a 3.5mm mic jack. Don't know if you have a place to mount since you don't have a hot shoe, but you may be able to work with velcro or mounted on a small stand or tripod. I have found this mic to be a great asset. With the +10db boost, it picks up more audio then my camera's mic alone, and much better quality.

The adapter is designed specifically for iPhone. It MIGHT work on a normal input as on a Canon but I would NOT assume that. You'd be better off finding a dual microphone adapter for a regular mini-jack input.

I bought one and it clearly does NOT work. Sorry I bought it as it said in the material from Amazon that it was designed to work with the Canon Vixia HF R500.

This Mic. Does not connect thru hotshoe, only via 3.5 mm stereo pin (T/R/S) like those on headphones. If your camera accepts this connection then it should work for you.

I plan to use with my Canon DSLR. I am not sure if is good enough for studio voice over recordings.

I don't know using a Canon. I used with a HDR-CX580V and two mikes with successfull.I used with this Sony with a Zoom H1 too.I Just turn both knobs to adjust the input signal

I have used this on my hd3000 and it works great. I don't know if it works on your model.

I have the Sony RX100 camera, so don't know about the Sony HX300. I assume it should work if both cameras use the same Sony battery. You need to take the chance, like I did for my camera, which it works fine.

I'm sorry, I got it for my brother in laws camera, he videographed my wedding, it turned out awesome! So I say yes, great mic! I'm not 100% sure what type of camera it is but must be similar if mic is compatible. Sorry I couldn't help more!

hello Im not familiar with Canon HV 30 - but with any other camera that does not accept the M42 screw thread Leica mount you would need the M42 adaptor but well worth the effort and $$ the Pentax Takumar 50 mm F1.4 is an exceptionally good fast lens
