    I film weddings and was looking for a mic that provided better audio than the on camera mic. This fit the bill.

    The product is great but the battery is very hard to put in. Especially the first time. I had to watch a video and it still was tough.

    This didn't meet my expectations but that doesn't mean you should rule this out if you're making a first purchase... this has great quality and has been a go-to for so many professionals up until only last year. If you don't need anything too fancy, go get this mic and you'll be happy.
