I own a Sony HD-FX1, and while it has manual audio input, it only comes with a 1/8" jack. This cable has served as a very simple solution to a potentially complex issue. In order to capture professional audio, XLR inputs are necessary. Instead of toting around a portable mixer, or buying an attachment for the camera with its own manual audio levels, I bought this cable, which has done the trick.

Comments about Comprehensive EXF Series Stereo 3.5mm Mini Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Cable - 1.5':
I use this cable to connect an external short shotgun mic to my Canon T3i for better sound quality while shooting video. The mic I use is a non-powered (no batteries) short shotgun microphone.
The length is just right for connecting the mic to the hot shoe on the camera and staying out of the way while using a tripod. I would definitely recommend this inexpensive cable to connect better sound recording devices to your DSLR video camera.

This cable is pinned as expected.
XLR Pin 1 to 3.5 sleeve
XLR Pin 2 to 3.5 tip
XLR Pin 3 to 3.5 ring
I am using it to run a shotgun mic in to a Canon 60D. The Canon 60D only tracks the mic on left channel. The 60D has a little cross talk on the right channel.

Being an independent producer doesn't allow me to go out and buy another $5000 camera. This cable allows me to use either my wireless Sennheiser lav with 1/8 in. cable OR my boom mic with XLR cable for filming.Well worth the price[...]

Comments about Comprehensive EXF Series Stereo 3.5mm Mini Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Cable - 1.5':
Had to quickly/cheaply throw together a "run-n-gun" rig for a documentary type shoot. Didn't have the money for an XLR interface so we went with one of these. Did it's job perfectly, allowed us to run an on camera shotgun mic to the 1/8" input on the camera (Canon HV30). Audio was great and completely controllable with the cameras built in functions. Wish they had one though that was just a couple inches longer. When mounting the mic on the accessory arm it was just barely long enough to reach and I was worried it would tweak the input if the cable ever got snagged or pulled funny. All in all a great product.

Comments about Comprehensive EXF Series Stereo 3.5mm Mini Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Cable - 1.5':
I thought the 1' cable would be a little too short and was right so I'm glad I went with this longer 1.5' cable.
The cable is a little stiff but the connections on it lock nice and tight and it now allows me to use XLR mics on my Canon Vixia HFS100 to bring out the best sound quality.

Comments about Comprehensive EXF Series Stereo 3.5mm Mini Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Cable - 1.5':
I needed this cable as a connection between my Telex wireless mic receiver's 3.5mm (mini) output and the XLR inputs on my video cameras. Being only 1.5 feet long, it eliminates unnecessary rolled or dangling cable. Real pro product with real pro results.
When you toss in the lifetime warranty, how can you go wrong? I'm pleased!
