Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Directional Stereo Mic (DM 50) for Camcorders with the Advanced Access Shoe
Customer Review: Inexpensive, High Quality Microphone
Summary: 5 Stars
The "Canon Directional Stereo Mic (DM 50) for Camcorders with the Advanced Access Shoe" is a great accessory for the Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom. It installs easily on the camera and automatically takes over for the built in microphone.
The microphone has three options "Shotgun", "Stereo1", and "Stereo2". The "Shotgun" mode is used to capture forward sound only, while the two "Stereo" modes allow you to capture sounds from the side and, with "Stereo2", from the back. I typically leave it set on "Stereo1" since it seems to capture the ambiance of the scene without being flat.
Highly recommended!
Customer Review: For the intermediate videographer

I enjoy using this product. We film youth sports (specifically football) using a Canon Vixia HV30. Our biggest problem in the past was the overwhelming sound of wind in our production. The addition of this Directional Stereo Mic solved this problem perfectly. I love the ease of installation and the fact that it's powered by the camera's battery. Just attach it to the Advanced Accessory Shoe of the camera, fasten it with the circular clamp for stability and you're off! It really does make a difference and definitely worth the price tag.Customer Review: Great microphone solution

The Canon DM-50 is the best shotgun mic solution for the Canon GL-2. I first bought the MA-300 adapter and put on a nice AT835b shotgun mic. However, the combination was quite heavy and unbalanced. With the DM-50, the weight is reduced by over a pound and the center of gravity in centered again. And the sound is excellent.Customer Review: Excellent Mic

I used this mic on my Canon GL2 to videotape a choir. At first I was worried about the noise around. It turned out greater than I expected ! It eliminated most of my unwanted sound and noises in the background. Sound quality is also excellent to me. Highly recommended item.Customer Review: PERFECT AND MORE....
