4.0 out of 5 stars Overall Good Mic, has some drawbacks, November 22, 2008

I got this mic for use with the Samson Zoom H4Zoom H4 Handy Recorder

This mic is good in terms of its audio pickup, the sound is crisp, and its excellent for portable recording due to the short(er) length of its wire. although, if using it with something like a zoom, the xlr adapter can be bulky.

the only drawback so far is that it came with 2 windscreens (mesh and foam), and i put the mesh one on and now i can't take it off. i guess its not that big a deal, it's hard to find a cardioid/condenser mic of this nature at this price. next step up on the mic chart would be a lot closer to 100-200 dollars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for the money but not in the field, October 25, 2008

I have received really good sound quality for the money in the past , but recently the clamp of the mike came a part without my knowledge, this created a terrible humming sound when recording or when that part of the mike was touched. For the money, it is a really nice sounding lavalier, but it doesn't hold up well in the field. I would actually give it a 3+ because the sound is good when the clamp is in place, just remember to bring a headphone to your shoot, that is the big mistake I made.
