It's not the top of the line, but for a consumer who's previous microphone was the ATR-6550, this is a huge improvement. Audio was crisp and much easier to edit in post.

I was looking for a camera mic shorter than my Sennheiser ME66. Works great. Of course the foam windscreen is not enough with strong wind, so I'd recommand something like a micmuff.

Small, great quality

This microphone met my expectations. I mounted it on a boom pole over my talent. The short length is also useful for my camcorder because it stays out of the shot even with wide angle lenses.
