I bought the adapter even for the former priced at 12.00 euros and was even this price quite excessive. I wanted to make to my Rode Smartlav + easily operate on the DSLR and have bitten the bullet. The adapter also works perfectly. Just out of interest, I have me a Noname 3,00 Euro adapter anxious and use this as a test adapter. What can I say, the cheap adapter works just as well, even has a thicker cable and acts more robust. The sound quality of Smartlav + with the adapters, plus 5 m extension, at a 5DII or 700D is really great. My personal conclusion: If already exaggerated price then also correct. You should not use this adapter under 300,00 Euro buy so you have a good feeling and security. It is finally worth and owning a brand is just great. Approximately 100% price increase within a couple of weeks ... there goes yet more :-)))) Do not take too seriously, everyone decides for himself and I respect those decisions, of course. This is supposed to be just a little food for thought.
