Does it come with the mic? And will this work with my Canon EOS Rebel T3i? We are filming a movie and we need to know this stuff.

Yes, the microphone is included. It appears that the NTG-2 does work with the Canon EOS Rebel from searching online although RODE doesn't specifically confirm that. Thanks for your interest, happy filming!

The Rode Mic comes with it along with the dead cat attachment, and the standard foam cover. Compatible from the package as is with separately purchased DR-40 Tascam device with cable. Proper adapters probably can attach to camera most likely.

Hi Richard, It should work with your canon, as you have a 3.5mm mic jack. Don't know if you have a place to mount since you don't have a hot shoe, but you may be able to work with velcro or mounted on a small stand or tripod. I have found this mic to be a great asset. With the +10db boost, it picks up more audio then my camera's mic alone, and much better quality.

Yes it comes with short XLR cable (it is a 6in convertor cable so you will most likely need to buy a seperate one if you need length) as for the actors, yes you can mic both if you have the two mics and a camera/audio mixer capable of at least two XLR inputs. This set also includes the cable for DSLR cameras.

This mic is not made to be plugged into a camera directly! You need the transmitter and receiver as well!I got this to replace the mic that came with my audio package!

yes-it comes with one mic. I bought a second at radio shack. as I mentioned in my review though, I had 2 of these. 1 broke after a week and the screen on the 2nd never worked so I returned it a well. I ended up purchasing a different system all together. Good luck!

I own a T3i. The specs say it will record in stereo with an external mic. I've used a different external mic and it recorded in stereo for me.

If i am not wrong the camera does not have a Mic input, only the built in. You shoul be able to capture some natural sound, if you need better audio quality i would recomend another camera.

Thanks for the info. What does sound attenuation mean and do? Also, are there any shotgun mics that will fit the Canon mount that are of excellent quality? Shotguns if I understand it will only get sound toward the front and center of the camera.

I think it depends on what camera you're using. If it's something similar to the Canon t3i, I would recommend that, if you really can't spend any more money on a microphone, you just use the mic built into your camera. The audio quality is not outstanding, obviously, but it's acceptable if the film is low budget. If you are really interested in improving your audio quality, I would look into microphones made by the company Rode. Just search "Rode microphone" in the Amazon search bar and there should be plenty of results. Usually these microphones range from about $150 - $250. I hope this helps! - Chairlift Productions

I love the mic. If the hotshoe doesnt power it the kit comes with battery. I use it on my canon 60d for shooting sports video. Great sound. I just added the tascam for better recording

It does not, since the t3 does not have an external microphone input. If you are purchasing a camera I would go with the t3i or t2i since they have mic inputs. If you have the t3 I would suggest getting the zoom h1 and record to that if you want a mic. If you want a better mic however I would go with thishttp://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=190806778822&index;=6&nav;=SEARCH&nid;=52424283937It is only a little bit more expensive but has a shock mount which proves invaluable.

You need to look at the instructions or specifications for the Vixia. The microphone requires the Canon "Mini Advanced Shoe." If the Vixia does not have that feature, the mic cannot be mounted to the camera.

I know there's a microphone jack on the camera. It's just an RCA plug. Has anyone used a separate mic with the camera? If so, where did you find the microphone? I've been looking on the web. I'm glad that some things are included in the box. From the description, it seemed that there was nothing in the box but the camera -- not even a battery!

Yes. The T3i has an external mic jack. The Rode attaches to the hot shoe. Plug the short cable into the mic jack and you're good to go. The previous responses regarding gain levels are correct. This is an excellent microphone.

Hey, Stephen. I too have a Rebel T3i. Yes! you have to buy a female XLR to 3.5mm cable to plug into your camera. Make sure you buy a FEMALE. I've made the stupid mistake of buying a male XLR to 3.5mm and had to return it. Hope that helped! Also. I recommend getting the Tascam DR-05 to record your audio separately if you're planning to shoot films and movies, and get cleaner audio.

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.

I have no direct experience to answer this question, but it works with my Canon Vixia HF R100 camera, and it seems to me if your camera has a standard 3.5mm stereo jack for microphone input, I see no reason why it would not work.
