Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For anyone having an issue mounting it to your camera or getting it to fit the hot shoe mount: 1. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the mount from the microphone assembly. 2. Using a wrench, grasp the metal bracket. 3. Using your hand, twist the round knob until bracket comes loose. 4. Screw the mount back onto the assembly. 5. Slide the whole thing onto the camera shoe mount. 6. Turn knob until it is tight. For anyone with an overwhelming hissing sound (on a Canon Rebel EOS, at least. I imagine it's the same for most Canons): 1. Put the camera into Video mode. 2. Turn the camera's "mode" knob to (M)anual. 3. Hit the Menu button. 4. Find the "Sound Recording" option within the menu. 5. Change Sound Recording to Manual 6. Adjust Recording Level to minimum, and then work your way up to where you like the recording levels. For me, it was about 5 or 6 button presses from the absolute minimum. No hiss but still loud audio. 7. Go shoot some video with good sound!
