    • 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

Style: MKE 400
I've used Rode mics in various form factors for almost 20 years. This is now my new favorite mic. The sound quality is just superior to my ears in almost every way. The directional sound envelope is a welcome change and the "mini blimp" design is just so much better in the way it works and looks. The sound jack on the front is a great idea as it keeps cables out of your way and the power button is an easily seen green LED that turns on with a quick press and off by holding it half a second. The attention to detail on this product is appreciated. The one thing I wish it did have is a secondary safety channel like the Rode mic has. It's saved me more than once with low/loud speakers at events. Note to GH6 users. There are 3 different settings for your mic in settings, you want to choose the option to POWER the mic from the camera and the auto on/off will work. ... show more

    • Discrete with Good Sound
Style: MKE 400
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. ... show more

    • Almost perfect
Style: MKE 400
Starting this out with the only thing I dislike. The mount is hard to get tight because it’s plastic. If part was metal or even a metal washer on the top part it would be more set. For run and gun stuff this mix can slide off the hot shoe if you use a little extra force. The sound quality is absolutely amazing. The cage it’s in does a great job of blocking a lot of windy situations and then the dead cat goes on when you need extra protection. The buttons are very light to press so sometimes in my backpack they get switched around so be careful when using. I’ve been on the same battery for months and have used this a couple times a week. Really really like the sound quality on this coming from rode micro. ... show more

    • Very impressed
Style: MKE 400
We bought this to use on a gopro for better sound quality. We have a media mod but the sound quality isn't that great. This works well and isn't too big. The sound quality is really good and we don't need to use a lapel mic. It's not very heavy and attaches to the media mod without issue. My only problem is when using the dead cat the mic sometimes becomes visible when do big fast movements. The video stabilization allows the tip of the mic to be picked up on video. I bought a small attachment the separates the mic further from the gopro and that helps. Overall I'm happy with it. ... show more

Style: MKE 400 + Mobile Kit
Stand is a bit complicated to use. Doesn’t accommodate iPhone 14 ProMax without you having to hold it in place. Hard to connect the mic wire while the phone is on stand. Mic sometimes gives eh output. Took multiple videos yesterday & only 2 ended up with okay audio. It’s small & sleek & easy to carry. ... show more

    • Great sound quality
Style: MKE 440 Stereo Shotgun
It is a very long Mic. I bought it for camera-mounted audio capture for VR. It protrudes well into the frame of the Canon R5c with VR lens.
