would you recommend this mic to record live bands?

Yes and no This mic can pick up clear sound but rode does make other Mic's thats specfic for recording live bands. If your good at Sound Mixing then you should have no problem

Has anyone used this mic with Canon 5D Mk3? I'm looking to use this for home guitar recording. How's the sound quality?

It works with Canon Mark3. Depends on how you like the quality of the sound. I always use multi track recorder to record musical sound tracks (Zoom R16) and software to polish the sound quality.

Will it work and mount on cold shoe of HDR-HS900 panasonic

if your cold shoe is standard size, is should slip right in. it has slipped into both canon, sony and Panasonic camcorders and cameras for me. For the mic to actually work your Panasonic needs to accept an external mic with 3.5mm receptacle.It definitely improved sound quality versus the on camera mic.
