I have a Canon HD XA10 camera and I bought this mic pack thinking it would work, but it doesn't. Is there another product you could recommend?

RDE's new SC-3 adapter may be helpful; although its designed for a video-shooting DSLR, rather than a pro camcorder like the XA10.

I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that if the connection works, the mic will work. I use mine on a sennhieser pack.

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.

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.

When I looked at the description if the camera, it did not indicate that it had an external mic input. If it does, and you still want to try it, you will also need an adapter cable to convert the male xlr on the microphone to a mini plug. Good luck!

Any usb interface with xlr inputs will work. You want to use an xlr cable to connect the mic to the interface. As far as brands go, i use Focusrite but any interface you can afford should do the trick

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.

I recommend a Fiio E6 amplifier between any microphone and camera, where the mic does not have a boost function. Without this, the sound may be poor and you may be tempted to blame the mic when the problem is actually in the camera.

Hi. We have tried this or dealt with this before, but if all you are doing is transferring the audio coming into the Mic to the Camera, it seems like this should be fine. Thank you

Audio Technica has a variety of condenser mics. Regardless of the one you pick it will work.

I'm not sure but in any case I wouldn't buy it just because of its severely limited compatibility. Ideally you want a mic that will plug into anything and work. This isn't it.

No that's not enough....go here to download the the fix (a zip file) from Aiptek: http://www.aiptek.com/update/Be sure to open and read the instructions on the above page.It works, it adjusted the microphone sensitivity and the sound is great now!! No more high pitched squeal. And the update also fixes color levels and night shot brightness. YAY!

Returned mine but if recall correctly mic is built-in. Should install with camera driver installation and find it it in audio devices.

Mics don't really have a compatibility thing, Its not a program. It will work on pretty much anything.

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better.

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

It depends on the model you have. My guess is you have a 1/4' input jack. You will need to pick one of those up at any walmart, radio shack, best buy, etc. I would also check the specs for your model to see if it requires a powered mic like the Audio-Technica. Hope this helps!
