looking for a mic for MOS interviews to be used with a canon t31. would you recommend this mic for that job?

I'm not familiar with the Canon t31 or its compatibility with this microphone. I use it for broadcast and production purposes, and it is a wonderfully nuanced microphone. Incredible for the price!

Probably not. This mix is designed for close-up use, eg: handheld or on a stand by a singer a few inches away. Also this uses an XLR-type connector, you would need a bulky adaptor to plug into the little 1/8" jack of the camera. You would be better off with something like a Rode VideoMic, Audio Technica PRO24cm, or Sennheiser MKE400. They are all "shotgun" style mics so they'll have a tightly directional pickup pattern, they're engineered to sound great from several feet distance, and all three have a hot-shoe mount, super convenient! The Audio Technica is the cheapest and still sounds great, it's a steal. The Rode is a bit more but sounds even better. The Sennheiser is twice the price and as much as I like Sennheiser products in general frankly I don't think it sounds twice as good but it is very compact and solidly built. Those might be important considerations if weight bulk or conditions are a factor. Hope this helps!

I think this mic is too heavy for mobile use. Best use is on a boom or mic stand.

Rode VideoMic Pro (not the other two non-pro versions, which are not better than TM700's built-in mic) seems to be your best choice. $229 from B&H.

We use the MXL AC404 for exactly this purpose, with about 30 people. The main factors to consider are the positioning and reverberation. This mic does an excellent job with either Skype, Hangouts, Flash Media Encoder, whatever.

Sure. Your camera is equipped with a standard size flash mount which this mike fits. There's also a tighten down wheel on the mount so the mike will be stable regardless of your camera's position during shooting. I get excellent quality audio with mine. Be sure though to do testing with your mike before actually shooting with it. I've found the mike works best, at least on my Canon, in the auto level setting. That means, and you probably know this, you don't have to adjust the audio levels because the camera does this. Also my camera doesn'tseek a level so it gives me excellent results. Good luck Sure.

Unfortunately this mic would not be the best for that application but the Audio Technica AT2050 would be more suitable for you. Audio Technica AT2050 Studio Condenser Mic Bundle w/Pop Filter, Mic Cable & Boom Stand Thanks for your interest!

I would agree with those who answered in the positive although I have not used it for that specific application. I have used both the boom mike with the raccoon tail sound absorber and it does help but a medium quality lavelier microphone is a must if you want decent quality. I did interviews in remote parts of Africa with this camera and quality came out great but the sound only came thru in group settings when I used the lav mike. I suggest trying it first before you do a live session with clients or an important presentation to make sure but there is no reason it should not work.

I purchased the 6ft cord and tried it out with a Movo VXR300 mic and it worked fine. Of course I also wasn't doing anything action oriented like running through a field. I just wanted to extend the microphone closer to the person I was recording with my camcorder to get better sound quality. I don't know what model of shotgun mic you have or are planning to purchase but take a look at the male end in the picture and check to see if it's the same. The cord is a 3.5mm mini jack with the 2 separators exactly as in the picture and if yours is the same it should be fine. If your mic is mono I am not sure it will work and of course the jack size/type is different you should just look for a cord that will accommodate the size and type of jack. Might also depend on what you are plugging into. It worked perfectly well with the camcorder I have, a Canon MF50, but if you are using a DSLR or some other type of equipment to record you should check to see if the cord will match up with your equipment. If not you may need another cord or an adapter to make everything work together.

This is a studio grade mic, and was used on the show Nashville in one of their scenes. If it's good enough for that, and the voice over work I have used it for it will probably good enough for dragon...

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.

I bought this mic last year for my german sister, you can veiw her songs on you tube, "rebecca dornoff" Its an amazing mic for the money studio quality and I liked it so much I bought another one for my daughter when I returned from Europe. Ive mixed some of the biggest names in gospel music including Andrea Crouch who the JACKSON family asked to open the funeral service for micheal, you wont find a better mic for the money, the Shure SM 57 is also an excellent mic, hope this helps good luck in your search...

The quality isn't what I would call "Digital Reference". I've used it quite a bit for recording speech for video, and it's suited quite well for that. I haven't had the opportunity to determine it's low end response, so recording bass...thunder, waves crashing or live music might be asking more if this microphone than it was designed for...

Never tried the mic in that specific situation. My experience is you can control the recorded sound level very well using the db-switches on the mic (-10db, 0 db and +20db) in combination with the mic recording level serting on the camcorder. So with a bit of thinking in advance of what sound level you can expect and setting the switches accordingly, you should be allright.

I used this set up to record a bunch of spoken word poetry so I would say yes.my understanding is the mic is also designed to work well in environments that are not acoustically sound. So again, you should be good.

This is not intended to be a professional quality mic. The AT2020-USB+ would be a much better choice.

Yes, I'm using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12. This mic has worked well for over a year and a half and counting.
