Question 1

Can this product work on a Nikon Camera?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will work, depending on what camera you have.  It comes with a TRRS plug which is required when you want to plug it into a cellphone to record audio. (*Reason being that a microphone requires power to run, and a cellphone jack doesn't give off power.  Since this was designed with cellphone use in mind, they used a TRRS plug that would draw power from your phone to run the mic.*)  However, if you want to plug it into a camera, or another device with an external mic jack, you will need to buy the Rode SC3 adapter.  (*Reason being that devices with a jack for an external microphone do give off power to run that microphone, so the extra function of the TRRS tip is not necessary.*)That Rode SC3 adapter will change the plug from TRRS to TRS, which can then be used with your nikon dslr, or other device with a 3.5mm external microphone jack.

Question 3

Thanks for the reviews! Now I'm a bit confused - I'm very happy with the video that my iPhone 5s takes, but I'm just looking for a mic that will allow me to do an interview video with a person standing several feet away. Do I need to install an additional app? I assumed the mic would just help boost the quality of soun…

Accepted Answer

This will allow for MUCH better audio quality and will lessen exterior, surrounding noise. The audio is in sync with the video. No special app.If you are interviewing an additional person, you might want to mic them up too with same mic.the following Rode adapter;Rode SC6 Breakout Box for Smartphones and Tablets with Dual TRSS Input and Headphone output by Rode Link: http://amzn.com/B00IEM2NM4allows for the input of 2 mics.This would work great. It inputs the audio as a left and right channel, BUT the video records it a mono mixed.hope this helps.

Question 4

What if i don't own a smart phone? what other devices is it compatible with?

Accepted Answer

If you purchase the R0de SC3 adapter, then it is pretty much compatible with any device that will accept a 1/8" input. For example, a Sennheiser lav belt pack orany other device that requires a passive input.
