    Save yourself some headaches!!! I have overlooked the bad reviews expecting to have something different, but this shotgun is a waste of time. It has a whistling noise when you get near it while plug into your camcorder, and it worse than the built in microphone of my Sony AX53. This shotgun won't give a clear sound but noisy! I mean I even called the company, all they said is nothing else good may come out of it and I should return it! What a waste!

    The sound quality isn't the best on this microphone. It's pretty average. There's still some white noise during silence, but I think that's pretty normal for a microphone in this price range. The biggest benefit is that the shotgun-style picks up what's in front of it, and doesn't get as much background noise as an omnidirectional mic. It fits well and works fine. Just don't expect any great audio. It's not bad, just not great.

    I found this microphone on the open box shelf at the Best Buy store it normally was $60 but I got a for 35 because it was an open box so far it seems to work very well for what I need but if y'all are going to do a lot of talking or video photography I would suggest you invest in a better mic but this would be a good for a beginner
