I got this mic used, over 7 years ago, and I have used it in hundreds of on camera interviews, It delivers clean sound, even in challenging situations. Other than having to change the batteries, and needing to buy a better windscreen, this mic has been a performer.

I replaced my wireless lav with this mic and am so glad I did. The sound is better and now I don't have to get mic'd up or mic up my talent. Point and shoot. Recommended.
