Well, I think it's kind of an "of course" that the product does what it needs to do, because now my movies have sound (and GREAT sound, I got the Sennheiser MKE 600) but the great thing about going to B&H is that they knew exactly what I needed and didn't let me walk out of there with something that would have physically connected properly but not done the job I need it to.
So, another A+ for B&H for giving me the correct product, for caring enough that I get the right product, and for having it in stock for not a ton of money...

I use this to convert my HDV camera to newly acquired ME66...very nice. solid cabling...and connectors are solid..nice addition to the toolkit.

Small enough to carry in my Pelican Box, with other essential gear. I got stuck using someone else's mic and it wouldn't work. That will not happen again. Things happen. If the mic you normally use breaks, this could save your audio.

I was shooting video using a 7D and a shotgun mic pluged into a Tascam, that only has a mini-phono input. This was OK in most situations, but a disaster when shooting near lights with a low votage transformer; so for that and other obvious reasons i upgraded to a When I upgraded To an Audio Technica AT897 mic I figured I would need to dump my Tascam for one that had an XLR input; but a call to B&H support suggested that I buy this Pearstone to bridge the gap between the XLR cable and the last 3 feet to the recorder. I must say it worked out great.

So far so good. I like it. I am using it with my XLR Mic set up rig. On the 5d mark 2. And I love it. And I just need one just in case any ways. working on making my own audio cable collection. I am a freshman in college who loves audio work.

works properly, does what it is supposed to do, and seems very high quality and durable.

This cable came as part of a kit with my Sennheisser MKE-600. I got the kit with this cable so that I could use the mic with my Sony PCM-M10. The one that came with it did not even click together with the mic, and slipped loose on it's own. I called and they sent me a replacement. This one clicks, but it doesn't not fit snuggly and there is lots of space between the the connection. It does not match the quality of the Sennheisser mic, and they should not include that brand of cable as part of the kit.

Bought this along with a NTG-2 and it works great.

Good build quality (surprisingly, it's pretty cheap), locks great and won't come off by accident.

The only problem with this problem is not the problem itself, it's great, but using it straight from the mic to the camera is NOT an optimal solution. Your in-camera preamp produces a lot of noise, even though you have manual gain control such as I have on my 5D m3. It helps, but not a lot.

I would reccoment buying something like a juicedlink rm202 or similar, then run XLR to XLR on the juicedlink and then 3.5mm to 3.5mm into your camera, that will produce the cleanest audio.

That said, this is a great product, thus the five stars.

I bought this with Rode NTG-2 to use with my Canon T3i. This is great if you intend to plug a microphone mounted on your DSLR or camera. The chord is short so if you intended to use it for anything else you will need to get an extention.

This cable has acceptable sound and good build, however for the same price the SENNHEISER KA 600
has better sound connecting a XLR mic to a video camera or DSLR 1/8 plug, and is much smaller and lighter.

works perfect and easy to use

Works perfectly. Obviously the sound recorded directly to camera is never going to be great. But this transformer does what it was made for.

I use this with my 5D mark iii

Works great running a boom into the mic jack of my 5d mkiii.

Works perfectly - I can know provide professional level sound quality from my prosumer level camera.

The quality of the piece is obvious. It does it's job as it should. The important part is being able to order it one a Thursday and it showing up on a Friday afternoon just before you shoot on Saturday. Thank you B&H Photo!

After searching high and wide, I finally found this transformer. It provides a mono signal on both the left/right rings on the jack, which means that it works with all types of recorders, including the 5D itself. I have used it with a Zoom H2 also. Great results. A Rode NTG 2 provides plenty of signal going through this device. I highly recommend it.

Worked perfectly! Exactly what I needed!

I like the shiny chrome accent on the mini pin side. The cable is also just long enough to wrap around my camera handle so it doesn't get yanked out.

This product is simple to use and extremely cost effective.

Have an XLR low imp microphone you would like to use with your computer? This is an easy fix - works as advertised.
