Can this mike work from the hot shoe (like the NEX-6), or is it strictly a corded mike?

It is strictly a corded mike. The cord must be plugged into the camera's external mike jack. The hot shoe is only used to hold the mike onto the camera.

The hot shoe is only for mounting purpose only you must have the jack for the cable. It's powered with button battery. Works great on my Alpha 55.

I use it on a Sony SLT 77 and it fits on the hot shoe then plugs into the MIC port on the camera

You would need the hot shoe adapter to plug the cord into it.....Just so you know I bought 3 of these units last year and the plastic base broke in the same spot on all 3 units..it would be a good flash if not for this issue. I now buy the Metz flash

I actually received this product as a reward from coca-cola... anyways... if you, like me, have one that does have a mic cable attached to the camera, then there is a built in microphone. You have to manually select it from your control panel, but it's there, it works. As far as where in the device it is... I don't know. I know that I get the best sound when I talk directly towards the lens. Manufacturer Support Page : http://www.shophde.com/a32i.html

Yes, you would just have to use the boom mike. The wired mike wouldn't work.

Yes, it does not have to be mounted in the hot shoe. You can have it plugged in and sitting on the side of the camera

No, I do not think so. Reading the instruction manual (see page 84, "Audio Mix"), you can mix the audio from the internal mic with the audio from an external device. But the external device must be one connected to the MIC IN jack. I did a test, and connecting the DM-100 to the hot shoe automatically disconnects the MIC in jack, and disables the menu option that allows mixing internal and external audio. So you cannot mix the audio from the mini advanced hot shoe with any other audio input.

A quick look at the Canon T4I owners manual (pg-193) suggests the accessory shoe (hot shoe) does not provide electrical contacts or connections for a microphone - any external microphone must be plugged into the camera's "Microphone In" terminal jack. Of course, you can still mount a microphone onto the accessory shoe for convenience, but that doesn't change how is must be connected to the camera.

Hey Billy, the cable is just long enough to reach from your hot shoe to your mic connect.Beware of bad hum issue with the mic; I tried it on my 5D MKiii, really bad! I had to return it.

Yes, however, the transceiver connected to the camera doesn't necessarily need to be fixed to the hot shoe. It can just be connected via the cable and be allowed to dangle. Up to you.

My amplifier has two connections for microphones but you can use any number of cordless mikes.However when using the cordless mikes you have to hold the mike very close to the mouth .. I tried the collar mikes and could not get them adjusted for sound.

For your camera I like the Canon DM-50 Directional Microphone requires no power source or cords to plug into the camera. Just attach to the advanced hotshoe and go. Google the DM-50 and read the reviews. Although, if you don't mind a pigtail cord and a 9V battery for the power; the aforementioned Rode is very sweet too. They are both about the same price.That is my opinion and I'm sticking to it. -Hutch

That won't work unless you can get clever about giving the mic power. Part of the hotshoe wiring includes the power to the mic as well as the audio outs to the camera. You'd be better off getting a different mic for that camera.

Hi... answering your question about microphone cords... This mike uses a XLR (3-pin) plug cable, but the other end of the cable can be XLR or a 1/4" phone plug cable. Keep in mind that this mike needs power, though, so you may not be satisfied with the performance of the mike with your sound machine as I believe it doesn't have a pre-amp or adequate gain for the application. Won't hurt it to try, but don't blame the mike if it isn't loud enough.

Yes, but the nex 6 has a standard hot shoe so you will need the hot shoe adapter from sony. The a99 comes with the adapter but I'm not sure if the 6 does. You also have the hvl-60 that's made for the new shoeo

Purchase a hot shoe that can screw onto the mic if the mic has a spot for it. The mic I have has a "hotshoe" so it slides right into the bracket as does my constant light. Definitely works. I use it often since I have a T3I so I don't use the built in mic (too loud).

Sure, works with any device with standard hot shoe. Supports cameras up to 7.7Kg.

Corded headphone, no mike. In my case noise canceling was virtually non-existent in comparison with an older RP-HC500 model I had before. I returned it and bought Audio-Tehnica instead
