How does the work with a Canon t3i DSLR? Trying to get two mikes into one feed isn't doing it for me with just a Y adapter.

The Beach Tek has 2 inputs. Put one mic into one input and mic #2 in the other input. the 1/8" mini goes into the camera and takes care of the audio from the two mics. One will be on the left channel and the other will be on the right channel. You should not need a 'y' adapter. The Beach Tek is set up to handle up to 2 mics and that is why the 1/8" is a stereo output into the Canon T3i

Works great. We use a Rode VideoMic Pro on one input and a Sennhieser Wireless on the other and get both channels. The only quirk is the hiss that you get on auto settings with all external mics. The best solution we have found is to drop the gain in the camera manually and boost the gain on the mic input and Beachtek. Good luck, hope that helps. There are lots of user forums we search for optimal settings by Googling "Canon T3i and Beachtek settings".

The BeachTek DXA-2T will solve your problem. It accepts two XLR shielded inputs and puts out through a 1/8 inch cord directly into your dslr. That way you are using shielded cable to within a couple inches of your camera. It's a bit pricey but well worth the money and you can buy them used. Another solution is dual system sound. Use a seperate digital recorder (I use the Zoom H4N) and a clapboard. Using a field mixer will allow you to apply high pass filters, limiters, etc. and to mix the sound exactly the way you want it.

I use it extensively w/ my Canon GL2 and the sound I get is SO much better than any other solution I've tried in the past. I agree with Brian, this is an awesome gadget.

I currently use this with a Sony Digital Video Camera. It works great...I am able to use high quality mics with my camera to add to the HD video. I highly recommend it!

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

At the very least, the Beachtek provides what amounts to a "Y", giving you two XLR inputs plus an aux. In addition, it gives you the ability to vary the volume of those inputs independently. I can't recommend it too highly.

I own the Rebel t3i and it is compatible, it should essentially be compatible. I'd recommend maybe looking into other mics. They might be more expensive but the quality will be a lot better. I wasn't exceptionally thrilled with it, But with the mic being so cheap it's expected.

I have a canon t4i and it works great. The one I ordered came with an adapter that works just fine, but I think your average canon adapter will work.

You would need three separate mic/transmitter/receiver sets and a way to combine their outputs into a single feed into your camera. You can't just use three transmitters into one receiver. That would be like if all of the TV stations transmitted on the same channel. You couldn't just watch/hear them all at once.

Thank you. I got a pair two and they are easy to use. I put the Yongnuo YN 622C on top of my Canon 6D and the other one I put the flash Neewer 660 on it. Then i went to a different room and asked my boyfruend to take a picture...it triggered the Neewer flash in the other room!

It's an EF mount, meaning I line it up with the red dot to put it on my T4i. In other words, yes it will work on your T3i and every other Canon DSLR (1D through 700D and T2i through T5i at least). I don't think it would work on the EOS M because that's a mirrorless and has a different mount.

Brian - I don't know. But I can tell you, this mic is not something I would recommend. When I use it with my Canon T3i Camera, the camera supplies the voltage needed for the microphone (the mic doesn't have internal batteries). Sometimes, the camera voltage is too low and the microphone sounds very distorted. In addition, it tends to fluctuate in output - getting loud, then soft. A better choice would probably be one of the inexpensive Audio Technica battery powered mics. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.

You don't get something from nothing. The original output form the microphone is a dual mono out. This adapter merely allows you to plug it into an XLR input. It will never be a truly balanced connection, because a balanced connection requires two signal lines instead of one. But his doesn't automatically mean you can't do it. It only means that it will behave as an unbalanced connection. In this situation you might consider running you mic into an inexpensive mixer, probably using this adapter. You can get 4-channel mixers for under $50. Then take a line level signal from the mixer and run it the 150' into your camera. Remember to go to your camera's menu and reset the audio input from mic level to line level. Then you should have a much cleaner signal, especially if your mixer and camera are communicating with each other via a balanced connection.

I do not know if it works with the t3 but I know it works with the t3i all you have to do is pointed at the front of the camera if you don't point it at the right spot it gets a little tricky but you have to be directly in front of the camera to get it to work. if you need any product recommendations let me know I have a lot of stuff for my Canon t3i

I don't believe so. I don't have my mic with me so i cant double check.. but I believe the jack on the mic is a 1/16 in and I don't think the canon g12 provides that. I actually had the Canon T1i in the rebel series when I bought the mic and it wasn't compatible. I now have the T3i in the rebel series and its perfect. So to answer your question: I'm not 100% sure, but I strongly believe that the mic is not compatible with you camera. Sorry, mate.

Yes this adapter works really well on My Canon T3i and your camera uses the same lens. Enjoy!

I use mine on a canon 5d mk ii. I have no experience with the canon t3i. It's not an issue for most but these guys don't like water. I am on my second because I had been shooting with the first one in the coastal tide pools of Southern California and dropped the transmitter in about 3" of water. It never worked again. I use the lanyard now. No complaints.

I used it with my Canon t2i and had a shotgun mic and a CN-160 light attached with a hotshoe mount, and no issues... only thing I am not a fan of if the fact you have yo slide it to the end to adjust the fluid head.. Other than that I am cool with it over all

This is the only adapter I have, and it works great with all my old Minolta lenses, so I guess the answer to your question is yes. I also have a T3i. Good luck!

No, the microphone does not work with my Canon T3i, even with Magic Lantern Installed. You need a separate audio recorder, such as a Zoom H4N or Tascam dr-100mkii to amplify the volume/gain supplied by the microphone. In my test I used a computer. I now own a Tascam dr-60d which also does a good job at amplifying the Opteka, but this microphone is better suited for close-up recordings than long distance, directional microphones.

I have a canon t3i and I had to get a thread adapter in order to be able to attach it to my canon I would assu.e that you would be able to use it as long as you get the adapter

I use it with a T2i so I assume it works fine with a T3i. there are tow different models for this one for Canon and one for Nikon so make sure you order the right one.
