Used slightly but tried it on both xa20 and d800. Xa20 performed great through xlr. On the 800 is good but not spectacular. Still highly recommend

Just purchased to sue with our boom pole for an overseas documentary project. Compact, rugged and great sound.

The mic is great, the little mount they give you is not.

I love the mic. Love it. But, if you're going to include a mount, at least make one that will last longer than 2 hours. If you order this mic, make sure you have your own mount as well.

Its a Sennheiser microphone. Its a great shotgun mike that is perfect for what I do. The price is worth every penny if you want a decent quality shot gun mike without spending $800 - $1000.

Works well. High volume level without much noise but could still be a little louder. Isolation works well so surrounding sounds aren't picked up only the target.

Does the job!
