Adapter needed to work with some camcorders! I bought this microphone to use with my HDR-CX760V, it showed in the accessories that it was compatible. When it arrived I noiced that it would not fit in the Active Interface Shoe (see picture). I had to buy an adapter for it. Overall I am very happy with the microphone. June 3, 2012
Great Shotgun I was pleasantly surprised with this microphone. I use it with my NEX-VG20 and I love how it is powered right off the camera. I will be using it as well with a boom pole so I tested it out with a high quality, 25ft extension cable. It remains powered and quality is exactly the same. It's a great, basic shotgun that does the trick. There is some humming in the background, but the mic picks up everything so well that it could just be the room noise. I have yet to use this outdoors. January 6, 2012
