This arrived today and a quick test confirms that it will meet my needs. I'm using this mic with my Sony ICD-UX570 Digital Voice Recorder. Here are a few things that I wasn't sure about in case you have the same questions: 1. The mic cord is equipped with a 3.5 mm tip-ring-ring-sleeve (TRRS) plug. An adapter is provided to convert it to 3.5 mm TRS. I have to use the adapter in order for it to work with my Sony DVR. 2. Although the mic is mono, it feeds both the right and left channels on the recorder. Since I'm using this for voice dictation that's fine for my application. 3. The mic has excellent sensitivity. I am using the lowest sensitivity setting and still get lots of audio input. 4. With the Sony, any time I plug in an external source I'm given the option to select Mic or External. Mic is the proper selection for this mic (External requires a higher level input, such as from a radio's headphone jack).The only objection I have is that with the adapter installed the plug is quite long for use with my tiny recorder and I will need to be careful not to put too much stress on the recorder's jack. A right angle TRS plug on the cord would have been ideal.

Fits the Sony VFA49R1 Filter Adapter with a filter inserted. I wish it had an option to connect some type of lanyard to attach to the extra lanyard hole on the camera, but unfortunately it does not. You can find ones on Amazon without the Sony name printed on it for cheaper, but if you want one with the name this seems to be sturdy and of good quality.

I do not have the Internet in my apartment, so it is very pity.

Works flawlessly - using a Minolta MD to Sony Nex adapter.Fit is perfect, and the adapter comes off the body with ease - same with removing lens from adapter.This adapter has allowed me to use all of my old MD/MC lenses instead of letting them sit around for the occasion when I haul out my X-700.

We specifically were looking for a nursery monitor that wouldn't be over the internet for security reasons. We're very happy with how well this monitor lets us keep an eye on our baby while she sleeps. The night vision keeps her visible even when it's completely dark in the nursery and the zoom is good enough that we can place the camera across the room to keep cords out of reach and still see her well. We did have an issue where vertical bands appeared on the screen and worsened anytime we opened the menu. Customer service was very helpful in sending us a new monitor and we were even able to receive the new one before sending the old one, which was super valuable to us since we have been using the temperature gauge on the monitor extensively to adjust space heaters due to the super low temperatures lately and the poor insulation in our home. We also occasionally have the monitor cut out if it's right next to something using the internet but that is easily remedied by moving the monitor slightly.

Part 1 - Minolta MD to Sony NEX adapterTechnically, it slightly overshoots infinity but the issue is easily corrected by dialing back the focus ring just a tad --- Not exact but clearly better than not-at-all.Although very light due to extensive aluminum usage, the build quality and fit-and-finish of the adapter is superb. Connections on the lens and camera mount sides are tight and precise --- absolutely, zero slop. The top of the lens release button is flattened making the lens removal process very easy and comfortable.Other notes:- There are no electrical connections so focus and zoom must be done manually on the lens itself- When mounting the lens, turn the adapter clockwise till you hear a "click"- Tested with a Minolta 85mm f/1.7 Rokkor-X MD lens mounted to a Sony a6000 camera-----------------------Part 2 - Nikon Ai to Sony NEX adapterEdit: Based on my positive experience with the Minolta MD adapter, I also purchased the Nikon Ai adapter later.As with the Minolta MD adapter, the Nikon Ai version focuses beyond infinity a tiny bit. Fortunately, the same solution applies - dial back the focus ring and the horizon will become crystal clear. The build quality is impeccable and the finish is smooth and clean of burrs or machine marks. Connections on both sides are taut and precise with zero play.Additional notes for Nikon Ai adapter:- No electrical connections present so focus and zoom must be done manually on the lens.- Unlike the Minolta MD adapter, mounting the lens for Nikon adapter requires a counter-clockwise turn until you hear the "click" of the locking mechanism- Tested with a Nikon Micro Nikkor 55m f/2.8 Ai-S MF lens mounted to a Sony a6000 camera

If you have a SONY camera, you need an adapter shoe like this one: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B004DE1BJS?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_5Works for my SONY Alpha A3

Works great with old manual focus Minolta lenses on a Sony A3000 camera. Fit of adapter to camera and fit of lens to adapter are both precise.
