Questions & Answers

Shopper : does this mic work well?WILLIAM H : Have no other mics to compare with this one. It seems to work well and the sound is accurate. I am not sure about the sensitivity, not that it is bad, just haven not pushed the limits. Inside in 15-20 feet does good job.ERIC M : I could not get it to workKANE J : Don't bother, you're better off with a shotgun mic on a boom, or getting a wired lavalier with a recorder. This is only slightly better than the microphone built in to your camera. We returned ours and went with a recorder + wired lavalier mic.

About MXL FR-310

The MXL FR-310 is a mono video microphone for mounting on a camcorder or DSLR via the hot shoe. As is typical of these types of microphones, sounds from the sides and rear are rejected in favor of sounds that are in front of the camera. The result is a more focused sound.

Three gain settings help adjust the level of sound capture whether from a close-up or long shot, while a bass roll-off switch cuts low-frequency noise. Additionally, the integrated windscreen helps block wind noise. The microphone functions using a single AAA battery.
