tiny on-camera mixer for DLSR

[Bamboopictures]

I was doing some springcleaning in the office the other day and found this tiny mixer I bought some years back. It is passive mixer which explains why it remained under a pile of my junk. But suddenly, I remembered some of its features that would be work wonderfully with DSLRs.
The Azden CAM-3 has three 3.5mm inputs: Left Channel, Right Channel, and both Channels. DSLR users can immediately see an application for this.

1. You can record two mics into two separate channels (input 1&2)
2. You can record a mono mic input onto both channels (input 3)
3. You can adjust recording level on the fly (much easier than accessing menus)
4. You can defeat AGC by recording a loud tone on channel 2

This mixer is the size of a matchbox and cost only USD60 today.

Yeah....pretty nifty device, but the amount of noise it have is quite bad based on my last experience with this guy and it's 'professional' 4ch field mixer brother...
