Canon DM-100 Reviews

Good match for Canon cameras.

By Stephen
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2022-02-26

Pro's: It's made for Canon cameras with the special hot-shoe. I like that you mount it and the camera recognizes it right away. No cables or batteries to mess with. It's lightweight and the 3 pattern selections work well. The shotgun mono position worked very well cutting out most of the room sound even 10' away from the subject. Con's: As others have noted the mount feels a bit flimsy. I'll have to be extra careful with it. I was a bit disappointed that it picks up handling noise very easily. You have to be careful with handheld shots. Overall I like it and was pleased with the results I got.

Makes a world of difference!

I just started recording with the DM-100, and I cannot express how improved my audio is already. I am only sorry that I did not purchase it sooner.

What is the configuration of the mic capsules, is it XY, AB, MS, or something else?
Asked by: Matt
The capsules in the Canon DM-100 Camera-Mount Directional/Stereo Microphone can be configured for three different mono and stereo settings. In the mono setting, audio is picked up from directly in front of the mic. There are two options for the field width when using stereo settings - 90 degrees for a narrow focus when recording one of two people who are relatively close, and 120 degrees for a wider focus when recording multiple people or when recording a play or sporting event from a distance.

Will this work on a Canon XC10?
Asked by: Bill
I'm sorry, but the Canon DM-100 microphone is not compatible with the XC10 4K camera. Your camera does have a 3.5mm mic input though. For a small on-camera microphone to use with your camera, I would recommend considering this Sennheiser MKE 400 (2nd generation): https://bhpho.to/3XdJXPK
