Only if mounted on external tripod or boom with 1/4 thread mount because Vixia HF R40 8GB does not have shoe used for mounting to DSLRs

Hi Chris, It works on Canon VIXIA HFG10; I don't know if it works on R42. Sorry, couldn't help.

Using a Canon vixia hfg10, it works perfectly. Power levels and minutes left all display perfectly. Mine came without a charger, but it charges in the camera when the camera's plugged in.

It did work on the newer 500 model BUT (also in response to the person with the 300 model) you YOU HAVE TO CHANGE A SETTING ON THE CAMERA TO ALLOW ANY REMOTE TO WORK. the remote for the Vixia models is DL-89. I cannot remember where the setting is but looked it up easily on line by searching for it. It was in the Canon manual too. its as simple as going to "other settings" and turning "wireless remote control" to say ON. that's it. works like a charm. :)

Works with my camera, Panasonic HDC-TM80. Searching your camera HC-V201 on line it indicates the battery asan accessory with your camera. So....I'd answer a qualified, "yes"P'Cola Bob

I'm in the process of buying a Vixia HF-G20, if that's what you meant by hg20. I was just told by Chris at the Canon Support team that the WL-D89 would work with it. I'm still trying to get confirmation on that from a second source though.

Is a build-in flash memory , plus a SD card slot ( just one slot). You can buy the Vixia HF 50, which has just 8 GB build-in memory flash instead of 32, and buy an 32 GB SD card and save some money, both cameras as identical except for the build-in memory . I have both ( M52, and M50) They are great at low light.

It works great with a Canon Rebel. I got it for my son, and I'd have to check with him on the exact model name.

It works with the camera. I cannot comment on the Canon adaptor cause I don't have one.

This battery fits and works great in the Vixia HF M40. I brought the charger and batteries with me on a recent trip to Europe, and rarely had to use 2 of them on a single day. LOTS of capacity and charged quickly, too. Great product!

I bought the one you ask about for a friend, I personally have a VIVITAR VIV-RW-5000-BLK 50-In-1 Card Reader (Black) which I think is pretty much identical. It works fine with Windows 8.1, I just tested it.

No, according to Canon's website I don't believe this model will work for a Vixia R400.

Yes. I've had issues with it on a Canon Vixia R500. It isn't very loud but it is present.

Hi Mark - yes SanDisk Ultra SDXC 64GB is an ideal choice ffor3 reasons. (1) Superior Quality, (2) High Speed and (3) Very big Capacity. You might want to keep a spare spare battery for your Vixia while shooting outdoors. Good Luck

I use the same one on my HFG10. For some reason, Canon decided to go with this smaller hot shoe. The rest of the world (Nikon, etc) use the standard size. This is just a holder. There's no electrical connection.

I plugged in a 64GB and it seemed to work, but looking at the file setup it is apparently only using 32GB of it. I have since swapped it out for a 32GB and used the 64GB in my Canon camera.
