Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Keep in mind
I am not sure why the actual cord on this microphone is so short, if you are buying this to use with a camcorder as an off-cam mic, you'll need to purchase an additional cord from like Radio Shack. It also seems to have a cleaner sound in the tele setting.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - SURPRISINGLY GOOD FOR THE PRICE
I bought at the same time this microphone, a Sennheizer anti-shock mount, and a Panasonic 3CCD PVGS-120 Mini DV camcorder. The only additions I've had to do to my camera kit are a mono to stereo plug converter, and some cable extensions because, apart from the fact that this little piece of equipment is mono, is a versatile and high quality microphone (better in short ranges and set up in cardioid pattern). I've been using all this things for three years already, and although there's plenty of new ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good beginner's shotgun.
This is medium quality for a shotgun and high quality for a camcorder mic. If you are looking for a replacement to the mic in a drum on your camcorder, this is the best you can get without installing balanced xlr connectors. Point and shoot. Even canceles out 90% of traffic noise.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - didn't function properly
Tried this device on the DVX-100B, and no matter how high I would adjust the gains, it just picked up very faint wispers of sound. At this point I thought maybe the problem was in the XLR adapter I used, but when plugged into my computer and laptop, I got the same results. Device was on, used 2 different new batteries... Nothing. I've used various mics before like Azden, so I think I have a decent understanding on how these should perform, and the pickup on these mics are almost nil.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Acceptable Microphone
I have used this microphone at a function and was not surprised by it's usefullness. For the price, it gives a good sound and some range. It is a powered mic with one battery and a switch from short to long range pickup. The effectiveness of the long range is exaggerated. I bought it to replace a cheap one and to attach to new video camera.
