We used this mic for a short Film Noir film we just finished. Sound was great, very low (if any) noise. Fit on our boom pole which made it that much more useful.

It's almost weightless and for under 150 dollars, you have a very useful tool. I use it with the Panasonic GH2 and as an inexpensive mic, it's worth the investment.

Bought to use for location shoots and run and gun setups and it has worked perfectly so far. A little hissy but that might be me getting familiar with the settings.

Great addition to DSLR Cameras. Great sound and the windsock is very dynamic. Picks up incredible range. A little more on the large side, but it doesn't bother me too much. Incredible for the price!

Perfect for DSLR or mobile video
