I purchased this mic for my Cannon GL1 to cut out the background noise when I'm shooting my projects. When I first attached the mic I thought it was off because the sound was so low. It did an okay job cutting out the background noise, but also cut down the volume of the subjects I was shooting, This mic is only effective when I am 2-4 feet away from the subject and even that sounds a little low. In post I have to raise the dbs to a least +10 to hear clearly what people are saying clearly. Right now I am saving my money to buy and xlr adapter and a rode ntg1. The mic is good if your shooting an event where the speakers have microphones. Its not good for documentaries and any project on that level. Please do not use the long feature on the microphone, it is horrible.
