Canon announced two new accessories on Nov. 4. The Microphone DM-E10D is a cable-free way to upgrade the audio on your video. The Timer Remote Controller TC-N3 takes charge of time-lapses and long-exposure stills.
Hotshoe microphone
The DM-E10D is a small on-camera mic built for vlogging and live streaming straight to the camera. It’s also Canon’s smallest hotshoe microphone, so it adds little bulk to your rig. The mic measures 2.11 in (53.7 mm) long and weighs about 2 oz (59 g).
Supercardioid
A supercardioid pickup pattern keeps the mic focused on whatever sits in front of the camera. That means your voice gets priority over the room behind you.
The mic slides onto the multi-function shoe of a compatible Canon camera. The shoe passes audio digitally, so you don’t need a cable. It also supplies power, which means no batteries to swap or recharge. A menu button on the mic opens the camera’s sound recording settings.
Flexibility and precision
The TC-N3 gives you more control over time-lapse sequences and long exposures. It replaces the TC-80N3 with a better interface and more features. A larger LCD with an orange backlight is easier to read in low light. Redesigned buttons and cross keys round out the update, along with dedicated power and self-timer buttons.
Greater control
New time-setting functions let you specify start and end times. Pair those with the interval and long-exposure timers and you can program long, unattended shoots. That makes the TC-N3 a good match for astrophotography and time-lapses.
Canon is also releasing the TC-E3, a version for cameras that use the E3-type wired remote connection.
What it means for video shooters
Audio can make or break a vlog. A mic that needs no cable is one less thing to tape down or snag on a gimbal. Streamers and talking-head shooters get a voice-forward pickup pattern without a battery to forget.
Check your camera first. The DM-E10D needs a body with the multi-function shoe.
What we think
The DM-E10D is an easy fix for creators who want better sound without extra gear. Supercardioid pickup suits vloggers and streamers who talk to the lens. Skipping cables and batteries removes two common failure points. We want to hear it before ranking it against Canon’s other mics.
The TC-N3 and TC-E3 matter more to photographers. If you shoot time-lapses or long exposures with a Canon body, the start and end time controls are a welcome upgrade.
Pricing and availability
The Canon Microphone DM-E10D costs $210 and ships at the end of December 2026. The Timer Remote Controller TC-N3 costs $190 and the TC-E3 costs $210. Canon U.S.A. says both timer remotes ship in early January 2027.
