Great directional mic.

Great directional mic. Does a great job to block out unwanted noise. I use this on my Sony a7siii and FX3. Also works great for my iPhone 14 pro.

Look No Further

Sennheiser did a outstanding job with this mic. It is so easy for me to recommend this mic because of features like auto on/off, on mic headphone output, built in shock mount, AND built in wind muff. Topping it all off is the audio quality itself, I don?t see why you?d want any other mic.

Wish I bought it sooner

Fantastic microphone and controls. I live in an apartment. Connecting my headphone directly to the microphone is terrific for monitoring noise.

Compact Shotgun Mic

I've been shooting with the Canon C500 wrapped in a Redrock Micro Professional Series ultraCage with a hot shoe mount right above the mic input. I know the Canon monitor has XLR but there is never a good place to mount the obnoxious monitor. Without the monitor I have no scratch audio until I picked up this awesome Shotgun Mic! I'm very impressed by the quality of the mic! Sennheiser MKE 400 does NOT disappoint. I also found that the + and - button is super convenient for boosting your audio level in a quiet space. I've been using the mic on my smaller DSLR for better quality audio when i'm out shooting. The audio is very clean and easy to manipulate in post. This is a must have! Cheers

Solid small mic

Not much to say beyond: it feels solid and is smaller than I expected. I still need to check the audio quality once I import the videos.

Great little mic

Love this mic for run and gun shooting mounted on a camera, as well as mounted on a boom. I also own a Rode VideoMic, and the Sennheiser is less than half the size. Pretty useful for fitting it into an already full camera bag, or shooting with a wide angle lens while the mic is mounted on the camera. Simple to use, useful features, and really nice quality. Hard to beat this for the price!

Super compact and functional.

I like this mike because I read it was a quality unit which so far seems to be true. Plus, it is perfect size for use on compact consumer/prosumer camcorders. I would have given it 5 stars, but there could be something better, and I am just a beginner at this time. A very nice piece of equipment.

Improve your Video Sound!

A giant leap above the built in Microphones in a Canon 7D! It is not perfect and one needs experience in using it as it can be extremely directional.
