Customer Reviews

Phenomenal performance for the size/price
I bought this mic for a documentary project I'm doing - for a small "B" DV camera with a manually adjustable mini input. I'm about to buy a 2nd to replace a much larger pro shotgun mic on a Canon HV-20. The sound doesn't live up to a full sized shotgun mic, but it's sooo much more discreet and the sound for all but situations in which you can get away with a big fuzzy monster.

Nice mic
This mic is very nice and very sensitive indoors, if it's turned on to the "plus" setting. Definitely better than the mic which comes with the camera.
