    • Neat and effective directional mic for DSLR and phone filming.
Style: MKE 400 + Mobile Kit
A light, neat, easy to set up mic that does what it says in terms of bringing a warm, directional audio recording to my Sony A7Sii and iPhone 17 Pro. Indoors, the directional mic reduces tinny roomy echo for both the camera and the phone, but I haven't used it outdoors yet. 3 features I particularly like. 1) The auto On feature is really useful in case you forget to turn it on, and the iPhone 17 Pro automatically selects the mic as the audio input once connected, so I didn't have to go into Settings to override the phone's mic. 2) I like the cable connection in preference to messing around with yet another Bluetooth pairing that might drop signal. 3) The package that includes the mini pod for the iPhone is a great bit of solid, easy to set up kit that doubles as a mini tripod for my camera. 3 small criticisms. 1) The mic's output mini jack doesn't tighten without a bit of pressing, implying that mine might be a little out of line internally? 2) Doesn't come supplied with a minijack-to-USBC input for the phone, so I had to buy an adapter and hope it worked (an Apple one did). 3) The gain has to be switched to high for the iPhone for a loud enough recording that doesn't hiss (my camera seems fine with normal gain). An easy switch to do, but one more thing to remember before you record on the phone, because it doesn't have audio level meters to show you that the input signal is low. Overall looks like good value for money if it lasts. I'm a professional who uses Senneheiser gun mics for TV shows, and the pro level Sennheisers are the go-to for reliable run and gun filming. I hope this domestic version lives up to their good name. ... show more

    • Favorite mic as a food creator
Style: MKE 400
After a year’s use, I think I can give a pretty honest review. So Im a food reel creator and this mic has been instrumental in getting great sound. Small and compact, and love the use of batteries as opposed to charging. I ended up buying a separate longer cable more flexibility of placement. The ONLY con I would say I have is there is a humming sound in the final result, but I’ve been able to edit it out in Final Cut Pro. Would recommend :) ... show more

    • Pleasantly surprised about this microphone…

It’s 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 you’d 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 doesn’t 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 I’d like it to, but that might have been the fault of the cage on my camera, who knows… but all in all, it’s worth the purchase for your next videography gig!! ... show more

    • Excellent mic despite Amazon Warehouse shipping a used one in place of new...
Style: MKE 440 Stereo Shotgun
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. ... show more

    • As Borat would say, “Very nice!”
Style: MKE 400
This is impeccable for the size and cost! It stays charged for along time, is very light, and has a great compression to it. I’d totally recommend for anyone needing a mic!!
