Do all the features of the mic work when taking a video with it?

Yes! You can use either our free ShurePlus Video app (which includes access to the mic setting directly in-app) or with any other video apps that support external microphones, including the native iOS camera app.

Has anyone used this to try and capture loud live performances? does it handle very loud music well with the compressor in the app? thanks!

Yes you can tape concerts with it. Loud arena shows are usually about a recording level of 13.5db- 12 for SUPER loud . you adjust recording level in the shure app.

Can this be used with an extension cord so that it is not attched to the iPhone? Which cord?

Lightning Extension Cable (6 foot Black) for iPhone 6, 6 Plus; Pass Video, Data, Audio Through Male to Female 8-pin Cable. dockXtender for Lightning by CableJive. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KH09Q5S/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_OMfpwb754TA5V

Does anyone have a recommendation for a longer lightning cable I can use with this mic? I want to pick up audio from a bit further away from my iPad.

The MV88+ needs phantom power from the iPhone. Only the OEM cable replacement worked for me.
