Review on Neewer 14inches Uni-Directional Shotgun Mono PRO Condenser Microphone: Ideal for Canon Nikon Sony Camcorder, DSLR Cameras with Furry Windscreen Muff by Michael Copeland

Okay, first off, the foam windscreen I received was way longer than it should have been. He turned off everything but the power switch. No big deal, just crop. The fluffy windscreen should be worn over the foam windscreen to ensure a snug fit, otherwise it will be too loose. The microphone can also be operated with phantom power. It's not listed anywhere in the description, but I tested it and it works. A battery is not required if your preamp has phantom power. Telephoto picks up a lot of sound, but also has a wider spread and picks up more noise. The sound quality is okay and for the price you can't beat it. Much better than camera microphones
