I use this to help with audio recording for inexpensive commercials and house videos for the web. It does what it says and the audio is good. Only use this for close quarters or if your subject is close. I got it with the Rode microphone and boom pole. A big issue to take into consideration if using this with a boom pole is that this is a 10 ft cord and if your boom pole is 7 ft that only gives you 3 ft to the camera. That does not even take into consideration wrapping your cord around the pole so it does not bang against the pole. If using this with a boom pole I would suggest getting the 25 ft cord. I was told not to get the 25 ft cord because of the audio quality but I have tested it several times and it sounds fine.

I had one of these (although a cheap version, not the Rode) kicking around the house but found there was a lto of interference. There is now no interference! It makes my recordings and broadcasts so much better.

Needed this to extend my Aputure A.Lav to reach my camera mounted Zoom H6 for recording interviews. I also used the Kopul XLR Male to Mini Female Adapter. It works well with much less noise than I was having with radio shack stereo mini cables (radio shack cables would hiss and hum unless I was holding it in my hand just right!). I also use this as an extension for my headphone monitoring.
