Hello everyone. Been doing careful research for an XLR adapter to plug into the T3i. Here are the two that I'm zeroing in on, both from B&H:

No phantom power on the DX-5DA. To me an XLR adapter without phantom power really isn't worth it. Shotgun mic selection is extremely limited without it. Although it is the ideal size. To me the DXA-SLR is just too bulky.
