As an added mic to the canon 7D camera for video, this mic does not add any benefit versus the internal camera mic.

Flimsy. Dip switches are inside the battery compartment, and they are impossible to flip without a very small screwdriver. I.e., they are not meant to be used.

The boom pole functioned fine, and I had a sound operator setting levels on the Tascam between every single take, but it didn't help. Hooked the same Tascam to a keyboard and got rich, full sound on the same record settings at much lower gain levels. I had a fresh 9V battery, the extension cable that comes with the kit, and as the DP standing next to him all day I know he had the power on because I could see the little green light glowing. ...
