Broke after 3 uses Best in Microphones

I tried to contact the company about the absolutely poor build quality of the product. This camera fell apart after three very light uses. The electronics are separated from the housing. I sent an email and no one replied. I would really think twice about buying it.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Modern

Looks like your subject is in a tunnel

Can't talk on phantom power as my cameras can't run it without power. On battery power, the noise level is terrible and the sound is like the speaker is in a tunnel. Even less than a foot from the subject, the audio was poor. Returned. It's cheap and the kit is good, but if you can't even get a decent sound, don't waste your money on it.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Only available in black

Disappointed knowing this is a better mic than I got

I was very happy to get this mic as I was out and about looking for a cheap pistol mic for field recording and possibly VO recording. but the microphone I received clearly had design issues. Very noisy and the XLR connector seemed to be loose. During the recording he was interrupted a bit. Disappointed because I know from reviews that this is a better quality mic than this one. I just don't risk replacing it with the same one. sent back.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Worth every penny

Bought this mic for my short films. Good sound makes your movie or video much better. Bad sound is noticed as bad and distracts. This is absolutely on the good side. Crisp, clean highs, good bass. Pros: Cheap Comes with a case Includes everything you need to get started except a recorder and a stand or shotgun mount. Super high quality recording. Works for AAs. amplify them digitally or buy a preamp. The lower part of the hand mount came loose but was re-glued.

Pros
  • fingers crossed
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Very impressive. in Microphones

I am very excited about this device. I used it as a backup for an independent shoot and loved what it had to offer. I also think it's a good value. Keep in mind that this isn't the best mic out there considering there are a plethora of professional mics out there and there are definitely better mics out there. However the kit is good and when used with a digital audio recorder the sound quality was good. I would consider buying another one. My only complaint is that. XLR connectors are…

  • Weight
Cons
  • Interchangeable

Excellent value for money and quality.

I work from home as a consulting engineer in the telecom industry. I also make drawings for the construction of a honeycomb system and the installation of equipment. There are many CAD drawings involved and my setup has multiple monitors with large screens. I mounted this directional microphone on a double-jointed boom. This allows the mic to stay slightly above my seat and keeps the mic away from my monitors. The supercardioid pickup picks up my voice so I can talk, look at my screens, and be…

Pros
  • GOLS Certificate
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

Excellent value for money and quality.

I work from home as a consulting engineer in the telecom industry. I also do drawings for building cellular and appliance installations. I have this directional microphone on a double articulated arm mounted. This allows the mic to stay slightly above my seat and keeps the mic away from my monitors. The supercardioid pickup pattern picks up my voice so I can speak, look at my screens and have my hands free during remote meetings. Everyone says I do sounds great and I'm never asked to repeat…

Pros
  • Compatible Device: This kit includes audio cables with multiple connectors to support XLR, 3.5mm mini and 6.3mm connectors, as well as adjustable shock mounts and stands with adapters for ⅝" mic stand, ⅜" -Tripod, ¼" tripod and cameras.

A worthy performer in accessories

I'm a video professional with 25 years of experience. I chose the XM-88 over the VidPro XM-55 because of the improved high frequency response. I use a microphone with Canon DSLRs. PROS: Does a decent job. The microphone is quiet (especially when used with a 48V mixer with phantom power like the BeachTek DXA-SLR preamp). Comes with a handy little soft plastic case with decent snaps that contains the microphone and all the accessories that come with it. Comes with nice extras like foam and cat…

Pros
  • Dual Power Modes: With the ability to operate on 48V phantom power or the included AA alkaline battery, the XM-88 Shotgun Mic is a versatile microphone that works with devices ranging from point-and-shoot cameras to specialty Field mixers can be used. .
