I bought this mic and use it for field recordings and to record bands in concerts. The mic is able to handle considerable volume and still produce a good clean recording. It comes with a bracket and is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. It has phantom power, which I find I have to use all the time, but that's no problem. It's not really a professional-quality mic, but at this price you can't expect one. It is still a giant improvement on all the mini mics most people use. My only complaint is that the wind shield doesn't really do the job as well as it should. I've put a second one over it and that helps. All in all, I'd recommend this mic to anyone.
