Decent quality for the price!

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

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

Excellent value!

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.

This little thing can listen well

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

Tascam TM-2X High Quality X-Y Stereo Microphone for DSLR Cameras, 50Hz-20kHz Frequency, 1.6k ohms Impedance Features

  • High-performance X-Y stereo condenser mics: The directional condenser microphones equipped on the TM-2X are the same mics used in highly-regarded DR-series recorders. The X-Y pattern and two mic capsules are ideal for capturing a true representation of the sonic atmosphere
  • Delivers high audio quality and the capacity to handle high sound pressures: As a result, the TM-2X achieves a high performance rating and a frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz. TM-2X with the capacity to handle high sound pressures up to 120 dB SPL to prevent distortion even in loud scenarios
  • Built-in stereo mini plug output can be connected directly to the camera mic input for simple setup: Setup is as simple as connecting the cord from the TM-2X to the camera's mic input jack allowing you to add high-quality audio to video
  • Floating structure reduces handling noise: The floating support structure underneath the mics absorbs unwanted handling noise and sounds from cameras' mechanics
  • Noise isolation arm to reduce lens operation noise included: When capturing video using changeable auto-focus lenses, the sounds produced from the lens itself can disrupt and interfere with recordings
  • On-board Low-cut filter eliminates unwanted low frequencies: The unit includes an on-board low-cut filter to cut out low-frequency background noise. Depending on the video recording scenario, you can choose to turn this feature on or off (LOW CUT/FLAT)
  • Furry windscreen to reduce wind noise: When filming outdoors, even a slight breeze can enter the mic and cause wind noise. This unit comes with a furry windscreen that can physically prevent this noise from occurring. Wind noise can be reduced by simply covering the mic unit with this windscreen
