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!!

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.

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.

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.

Really surprised how well this mic picks up ambient audio on a camera. Def not a replacement for a proper shotgun but this is a great improvement over your cameras stock microphone.

Great mic for the smaller profile the it offers. However the shoe mount is one of the worst I have ever used. Difficult to properly tighten. Once it did break I was unable to fit any other mount to the mic due to the design.

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.

The mic is fantastic— lower the internal mic level as much as possible and put on the +20dB gain (typically better gain in the mic than the pre-amp in the body). The microphone is great, the dead cat is almost not needed because the housing has its own wind mitigation plus internal vibration mount.It’s very compact, auto on-off with the camera, and has a low pass filter option great quality!Add in the best iPhone mount I’ve seen and a Manfrotto small tripod becomes quite good for panning, vlogging, and motion reduction.I love this kit and recommend to everyone who’s automatically going to Rode or Deity products.

Pedà el MKE200, que es muy bueno, pero lo devolvà y pedà este MKE400..Es más grande pero sà es superior.Es un excelente micrófono en mi caso para filmación.Súper contento con la compra.Lo recomiendo mucho.Si estás dudando como yo lo hice entre el 200 y el 400... Vete por el 400.

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.
