    I bought to do videos at home when you are ~8' from camera in an open room with 10' ceilings. This mic picks up reverb off the walls and doesn't sound great. I maybe trying to do something it can't do, but I don't know. I ended up using a lapel mic instead which only picked up the voice. If I had a camera lens that allowed the camera to be closer to the speaker that would have worked as well.

    Over priced quality is decent but more like $40. If you need a quick mic it’ll work.

    I have a Panasonic hc770. The audio wasn’t very good. I added this shotgun mic and was very pleased with the sound. It picks up voices across the room. Just what I was looking for.

    I use this during documentary style filming to capture natural sounds as I record. Works good and sounds better than the built in mics on my camera.

    I used it the day after purchased it to record outside, with some wind and rain, worked great with my 7dmII, needed a wind screen tho. However. with a DAW you can take out a lot of the wind. Great price!

    I plugged it in my Canon 60D Camera and it picked up the sound much better than I expected. It aloud me to have a sound quality that I would not have had without it.
