The updated version of the AKG Acoustic C1000 S multipurpose small-diaphragm condenser microphone is extremely popular for its versatility. It is suitable for recording and live-sound applications as well as for ENG/EFP and video productions. Its gold sputtered capsule housing makes the microphone extremely rugged against humidity. If no phantom power is available, the C1000 S can be powered by two standard AA batteries for up to 120 hours. The new C1000 S features a bass-cut switch and a switchable -10 dB pad. The polar pattern can quickly be switched from cardioid to hyper-cardioid. Three different frequency settings are adding more clarity to speech and instrument sounds.

This makes for a great Run-N'-Gun mic without having to worry about being so exact in aiming the camera. I have used this mic for recording an entire table of actors in the studio. Used it for talking head shot. Most importantly, it works great as an off-camera mic. Naturally it is limited to the natural timbre distance of all voices - 18"-24". But it is just so easy to use. Takes the place of dedicated Shotgun, Studio, Overhead mics for me. Within reason. your mileage may vary.
