An excellent alternative to the generally poor captive microphones on dv and hd cameras.

Well made; good sound quality and well isolated from the camera

I found this mike quite good although filming a live band with the mic set at -10db it couldn't handle the audio and gave me rumbling and distortion at 8 metres away from the music...I would recommend this mic if you want to record an acoustic guitarist or just general audio like a party etc...

Easy to use; Compact; Build quality; Battery life

"For years I have used an older microphone on my video camera and even the same old mic on my Canon 5D Mark II. I thought the quality was alright until i asked someone to do some professional editing. Comments I received back weren't great about the sound quality.
