Pleasantly surprised about this microphoneâ¦
Itâs Sennheiser, what do you expect? Of course I was going to like it, but I bought the product used, so I was definitely surprised to find out how well it performed. The battery life is excellent, just make sure to carry a couple extra in emergencies. It is very portable on my rig, and can be used on a gimbal due to how light it is. Since I purchased it used, it was so affordable for what you get out of it! It might not be as directional as youâd like it to be, but it performs better than my built in mic on my camera, and even uses a cold shoe! It would be nice if there was a hot shoe option, but I digress. It has two cables to connect with, one of which I solely use. The mic quality is excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone that doesnât really need the $1k boom mic, but still is looking for portability, and quality. My biggest complaint is how it twists on to the cold shoe mount. I feel as if it fell off a bit more then Iâd like it to, but that might have been the fault of the cage on my camera, who knows⦠but all in all, itâs worth the purchase for your next videography gig!!

Great little microphone!
This is a great little mix kit. The quality is fantastic and even comparable to my mke 600 depending on distance to mic. Super easy to use and love that it automatically turns on with my dslr. Overall a great purchase and would recommend for anyone not wanting to break the bank but have a good quality mic

Discrete with Good Sound
Kids are now singing in programs so needed something better than the huge generic mic that came with a lense package. This thing costs a bit more than the rest but it’s not so “obvious” than the other mics when mounted. Even with the dead-cat, which worked well outdoors in a light breeze, it was not so eye-catching as others that I’ve seen.I’m glad I purchased this version instead of the smaller one because this unit will turn itself on as soon as you turn on the camera. With my other cheapo one, I kept the mic off to save on battery life and just forgot to turn it on when I switched the camera on to record. Luckily I caught it during the welcome and intro speeches.Battery life seems to be pretty good. I haven’t ran it until it died because that would be a bad thing while recording something. But I probably recorded about 1.5 hrs worth of video without any issues before just changing out the battery for the next program. When researching different brands, I actually preferred the replaceable battery mics, since I have rechargeable batteries and if I needed something quick, AAAs are easy to find.

Excellent mic despite Amazon Warehouse shipping a used one in place of new…
The mic itself is fantastic (more on this later); however, I do feel it’s important to let others know that I’m pretty sure Amazon sent me a used one when I ordered new. The box was not sealed closed with tape as new items generally are, and the mic batteries were just tossed inside (unwrapped), user manual was folded incorrectly and also just tossed inside. Fast shipping isn’t enough to make up for paying new prices for a used item. A partial refund would be nice, but I know that won’t happen. I’ll buy direct from now on. The mic itself appears to be in good working condition, thankfully, so not worth the hassle of returning.This mic is fantastic and I would highly recommend it (purchased through Sweetwater or similar vs Amazon) for anyone looking for an on-camera stereo shotgun mic. It does not come with the wind shield, but one can be purchased separately from someplace like Sweetwater or Adorama or B&H, etc. I’m using this with a Fuji X-T5 for ambient nature filming, and so far I’m impressed. Be careful of your in-camera audio settings–if too high, there will be a LOT of hissing noise in your audio. Best practice is to turn down in-camera audio and turn up mic audio. So if you get this mic and your first recording is all hissing noise, do not just think it’s a bad mic. Adjust in-camera audio settings.One thing to be aware of is that the audio cable is permanently affixed to the mic. Not a big deal, but do be careful not to pull on it or abuse it, since it can’t be easily replaced if damage is done, and a good cable connection is important to good audio quality.Haven’t used it for very long yet, so will update my review if anything changes; however I would definitely say that this is the best on-camera shotgun mic I’ve used to date.

Great Sound Quality!
I always use this mic during event video coverage. The levels option on the mic itself works out well when adjusting the camera audio levels to really hit a sweet spot.

Es mas grande de lo que parece en las fotografias y dimensiones. El hot shoe por alguna razón no es fuerte y se anda tambaleando todo el tiempo… Le consegui el “deadcat” para protegerlo y aun asi, sin ningun golpe que recuerde o que yo diga “ups le pegue”, el protector superior esta abollado. Tiene un click raro a mitad de grabaciones… no se a que se deba pero ya investigue y es normal en Sennheiser que hayan estos clicks cuando estas grabando, lo cual no es lo mejor porque arruina el sonido. Me gusta, pero si he pensado en venderlo y probar algun RODE o DEITY. El precio en realidad deberia ser de 5000 a lo mucho.
