Tascam TM-2X...I have used one like this for years. It was time for a new one

A bit of weird, high-pitched self-noise, but that shouldn't be a problem to fix. Audio quality is great, especially for the price!

It is small and inconspicuous, which is what I wanted. Sound quality is better then on camera mic.

I picked up the Tascam mic to improve the video sound on my Canon 7d2. It does the job quite well. In fact, it picks up distant background sounds that I normally wouldn't have noticed before. I like the extension arm for my purposes. It slightly helps to distance the mic from any possible auto focus lens noise. The "dead kitten" has minimal effect on wind noise. The stereo actually works like stereo should. The entire unit weighs just a few ounces, which is nice. The unit does not interfer with "live view," or when I want to take a "still" shot using the eyecup. Since the unit uses "phantom" power, it probably won't work if you want to add a pre-amp between the camera and the mic, since most pre-amps require that the mic has its own battery power source. Something to consider. However, I have found that the quality of the sound is remarkable for such a small mic.

The mic got good reviews. Some people complained. however, I love what it does. The head rotates, it can be attached to a longer arm if necessary. But, the real reason I like it, it is small. It doesn't add much to my camera diameter. It is night and day difference in the sound that I can record with the mic vs the camera. A very good buy and it doesn't cost a fortune to purchase. $99
