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.
Great little Mic

Just got to use my new mic for the first time and it works great. beats the onboard mic by far. I still use a boom pole and higher quality shot gun mic for capturing key dialogue.
Great little mic!

I have been using this mic for about a year on video documentaries and am very pleased with it's performance and durability. The only complaint is that I lost the foam windscreen somewhere in Ireland. This thing has great sound.

Good Mic, get great sound, just beware if you have it on + or - (the only 2 setting this thing has) in some cases having on plus will make your sound levels peak and your screwed.. wish it had a way I could check the levels and volume control.. but nope not even @ that price..

maybe next time, it works as a simple "plug n play" mic much better than built in. haven't tried any other so I can't compare.
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.
