Great microphone, but Canon's warrantee will kill you--beware!

I began with wireless mics by buying both Canon's shotgun mic and this WM-V1 "chapstick" size mic. Both were good when they worked, but the shotgun mic recently failed me and Canon offers no place to repair it and has only a 1 year warrantee. Now this WM-V1 chapstick size mic's plastic battery cage slider broke its little lip at the top from two years' usage. Again, "Sorry, Charlie" is the answer from Canon... no place to get it repaired. Otherwise I loved this small mic. I used a lanyard to hang it on people's necks who were shy about a belt transmitter and wireless lapel mic. If it weren't for Canon's lousy, short-term thinking policies of not even offering a place for us to pay to repair their mics, I'd give it 5 stars. So it's a buyer's beware. You'll probably be in my same situation within two years and be Scotch taping the battery cage closed before spending another ($) to buy a new one. I've switched to Rode mic products with their 2-10 year warranty, plus I make sure I buy Square Trade 3 year backup on top of that after learning that these wireless mics DO go bad or have such defects.

Excellent mic. Mini Walkie talkie

The sound quality is excellent, and very clear, way better than the its Sony counterpart. On the first try it used it with the Mic hole facing the body (I blocked the Mic hole with his body) but the voice was still very clear and nice. I used it as two way communication device as well and it is very good. I am surprised how many people in Q&A said it is not possible to use it as walkie talkie without even trying it. Price is way too much for such a device, but CEOs need to get rich beyond a human need so that justifies the price.

Fantastic Product.

I'm an independent filmmaker making my first film, a documentary. This microphone is FANATASTIC! Great sound quality, easy to use and set up. I'll be submitting my film to Sundance 2014.
