Canon, please make a hot shoe XLR audio adapter for R5c et al.

Hi Community,

Any ideas on how we can talk Canon into making their own version of the problematic Tascam CA-XLR2d? In that vein, what is a good way to send Canon product ideas?

Thank you,

Scott

The only method that I know of to give Canon feedback is to click the "[+] Feedback" at https://www.usa.canon.com/

Why not ask TASCAM to make one?

And what is wrong with the TASCAM?

It turns out it works with most Canon cameras with the accessory shoe:

Hi KV,

The Tascam is great in theory, but they are known to stop working. Mine only lasted for two shoots.
