Will this fasten on to the Panasonic GH3, and the Blackmagic Pocket? I understand that all the previous answers basically say that as long as there is a 3.5mm microphone jack you can use it with the cameras, but none seem to answer if it will fasten on to the camera itself.

I don't personally have those cameras as long it has the female port for the 3.5 it will work. In terms of it being fasten onto the camera, it would need a hotshoe port in order to be literally fasten onto the camera. Maybe you could try a DIY build since I've seen many adapters that go on the tripod screw and then it extends with an unwired hotshoe, just for placement

(It does not attach to your lens. It attaches to your camera.) It works flawlessly and maybe the best solution. You have no fear of camera shake or misalignment You will never have to worry about parallax problems. Your panos will seam together nicely provided you use it correctly. Which brings us to its problems. !.No documentation. 2.No instructions(a video on features and techniques would have been nice)(I will be glad to make one for you if you will pay me). 3. Its big 4. Its bulky 5. Its heavy. However, until I find a smaller solution it stays in my bag...even thou it takes up most of the free space. (It does not attach to your lens. It attaches to your camera.)

I guess my first question is, why do you want to attach an audio recorder to your camcorder? I would place it next to what you want to record and then use editing software to add the extra track, although I found the very slight difference in recording speed caused me to have to realign during pauses. I primarily used the H4 to record the string quartet or orchestra, up close to minimize crowd noise. Used a wireless to send it to my camcorder onto the left channel and a wirelss to house sound/or shotgun to the right channel. I have the HF G10 and G30, both have the mini and I have used the adapter on my G10 (the G30 comes with both a standard shoe and the mini) and it was OK for a shotgun I tried on it. I also had the Zoom H4 (not the N). I would say yes, because the plastic part fits onto the metal part of the camcorder mini and the top full size shoe is metal and it is a tight, secure fit. On a tripod you should be fine. With the weight of the H4 I wouldn't expect it to handle rough use, "Run and Gun" probably not a good idea. Handheld with casual moving around, should be OK. Hope that helps

I just personally had to address this issue with my GH4. You will have to saw around the battery opening with a metal saw (surprisingly soft metal) to make battery accessible, and even then, the Back lcd screen couldn't swivel properly. So, no, it won't work that way. BUT, by unscrewing the cage apart and only keeping the bottom baseplate with follow-focus rails, it makes a better baseplate for the GH4 with YAGH interface attached, since that camera unit needs a substantial baseplate to sit on. An Edelkrone follow focus will fit into that quite well and be high enough to contact lenn's gear belt. I didn't mind di-assembling the cage because it was such a piece of crap regarding overall design (I wrote a lengthy review on it over a year of use). Hope this helps.

I say yes because of one reason. You can buy an adaptor for $6. Altho i brlieve it should fit without it but i cant be too sertain since i dont have the camera you mention. As far as the mics themselve i say they really are as good as everyone says they are. However they do feel very cheap, and i can see them breaking very easily from a simple drop. I hope this helps, good luck.Fabio

I saw another recommendation here from cutecamcase. I bought one and it's AWESOME fits the LX3 like a glove. I also ordered a battery from this site..but they sent me a used one (Seems to be an honest error). I am suppose to be getting a replacement. In any case, THE case, from this site is really high quality..fits great...and is brand new. I am very happy with it..check it out, a bit pricey..but it's really a quality case MADE for the LX3.http://www.cutecamcase.com/panasonic_case_lx3.html

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.

By the way, i use this on my Panasonic and it's awesome. I don't know what the other person did wrong to have a bad experience, but these are worth the money and then some. The demo video on the company site shows exactly how it'll work on your camera.

Actually this only works with the Panasonic series. It's a decent viewfinder. I purchased it but actually just found myself photoing without it most of the time for ease-of-use's sake. Good luck.

I am told that it can the problem is panasonic or nissin did not make one when I bought my Lumix G3. Some of the online chat rooms say an olympus chord will work but I do not know

I`m not too sure about that? I only recommend and use OEM Equipment for my cameras, to assure proper fit and performance. In theory, it seems that it would. It works great on my Pens, because it is OEM. Perhaps Google can answer it, or maybe a YouTube has a video which shows this very application. If not, I could only suggest Panasonic products for Panasonic Cameras. I am a firm OEM believer in many things, and only use Sony and Olympus to get my Productions filmed. I at least hope to have steered you in a direction for your answer, Cynthia. And too, I`d think that Panasonic carries a line of accessories for your Camera type. Panasonic`s WebSite might list the items you need to outfit your rig, if you were to check with them. Then shop, and compare prices. I`m sure you will be satisfied afterwards. Good luck, Cynthia.

I honestly do not know the answer to your question, but I do know that amazon has phenomenal return policy with their products in case this camera is not compatible with your system. If it is, you will be purchasing an excellent videocam with outstanding microphone. I use it a lot with the iFace app in my mini. Sorry that I could not give you a straight answer. Good luck.

This is not an external battery pack for your camera. It is exclusive to 5xx and 6xx flashes.Edit: reading @seldom satisfied's answer, it makes me think you might have had a different use intended for this. If you wanted to make this battery pack attach to your camera, then as @seldom said, it's going to be difficult. You should have the battery pack (if you have a compatible flash and want to use it for that purpose) either strapped to your person (it has a belt strap that works great) or strapped to your light stand, if you take that approach. You could loop it around your neck using any sort of supplementary strap, strap it to your arm, put it in a large pocket, whatever. This is not an external battery pack for your camera.

Yes it should. Most Panasonic camera's have a generic remoter port. I have had the G1, and have the G3, and it works fine for both of those. Primarily the DMC series has the same cable configuration. Even down to the Z series. Should not have a problem using this release. Highly recommend. You can even set a timer for when you want to be included in the photograph.

Might be hit and miss. If it has the full HDMI signal output and you match the format (720, 60 frames) or whatever you have it set for, it should work. Watch your HDMI cable runs, that can make a camera not work as well. You need an HDMI splitter with built in amp. The smaller camera usually don't need these. My large panasonic did though. Everything must match. Gopros are near impossible to work on this thing, the HDMI out is not true HDMI. The older ones sometimes work. Sometimes you have to bump the frames to 120. Good luck.

Purchase a hot shoe that can screw onto the mic if the mic has a spot for it. The mic I have has a "hotshoe" so it slides right into the bracket as does my constant light. Definitely works. I use it often since I have a T3I so I don't use the built in mic (too loud).

it's 42" from tip of connector to tip of mic.The connector is a 2.5 mm & about 1/2" length, ( the part that goes into the socket).As far as I know it only fits the Drift Ghost not the earlier Drift cameras which take a 3.5mm as far as I know. It works really good IMO. item #54-003-00 I don't know what these other people are talking about it being 3.5? That's not what mine is! That's what the earlier Drift takes from what I know. Yes It can be frustrating trying to get proper info I've got a 3.5 mm mic sitting in the drawer that I was told would fit & it didn't!
