I was doing my videos for National Board Certification and to my horror found that my students could not be heard! Audio-Technica to the rescue! With the included adapter, it fit perfectly into the ancient video camera at my school and my problem was solved!

Just want to tell everyone that previous to this purchase, we had problems in recording and broadcasting the conversation of our clubhouse board meetings which composed of 6 to ten people seated around a long a 20Ft conference table.The voices recorded were not very clear and picks up hiss and lot of background noices. When learning of this product, we bought 2 sets and placed them apart on our conference table. To our delight the recording became very loud and clear and devoid of hiss and annoying background noices. I give it a 5 star to this wonderful mic.
