 Get it with the Rode VXLR adaptor...Mar 08, 2010
As other have mentioned, this mic is a good replacement for your onboard camera mics. It's a good value and if cared for properly should last a good while.
Here's what's in the box:
* VideoMic
* Extra rubber mounting bands
One thing I'd like to add to all these reviews is to recommend getting the Rode VXLR adaptor. This will allow you to connect the VideoMic to an XLR input without any loss of quality and in a simple straight forward way.
I use this with a JuicedLink CX211 connected to a Canon HF-S100. The combination works great! The only thing I wish Rode would do is redesign the size of the mic to match the smaller/newer camcorders. (Also, may be provide an adaptor to fit the mini-shoe mount on the Canon HF-Sxxx series...)
Otherwise, it's a great value and a solid performer!
 Great mic for the priceMar 08, 2010
I'm a bit disappointed there isn't an XLR jack to simplify connections on some cameras, or that the 1/8" inch cable is hardwired in. But for the price, I can't really nitpick there. The sound quality is very good and sensitivity is amazing. In fact, for me, it was too amazing (too hot). Following the instruction manual, I found the trim switch and after setting it to -10db the signal is much, much cleaner on my camera. The trim switch is ridiculously hard to change though, and I can't see any good reason why. Regardless, a fine microphone for the price. Any complaints I have at this price level are nitpicking and it is a fine addition to any equipment collection.
Great Mic.Feb 17, 2010
The mic. works great. I have used it with my Kodak Zi8 camcorder and with my larger Panasonic camcorder. Wonderful results with both cameras.

A Good MicFeb 06, 2010
I've used the mic several times on my Nikon 300s DSLR and I like the results. It give great audio for my use, which is amatureish, at best.
For the price, it is definitely worth while. Go see some of the Youtube reviews by others.
Works Well...Jan 31, 2010
Item is well constructed. Have only used it a few times, but seems to work well. Gives the camera a more professional look, which may or may not help, depending on what you're filming.
