Disappointed with my purchase. It may be noted too many live recording breath on the 650D without incriminating the microphone but certainly due to the device itself and its automatic audio level is unlikely to correct. But VideoMic Pro is well made for miking emergency outside, better than the internal microphone of the Canon. Finally, this purchase was disappointed by the manufacturer and pained the part of Amazon.com: a fidelity that has not been awarded because the purchase on my favorite site does not give right to free extension of 10 years offered by the manufacturer! Indeed, RODE just confirmed to me by email that Amazon is not "eligible"! Thank you for the info. And as we talk about micro I ends with "A word ...."
