BoyaXLR Shotgun Microphone BY-BM6060, Super-Cardioid Condenser Mic with 24 48V Phantom Power for Camera Camcorder Film Interview TV Program Recording Podcast

I use this with the zoom essentials H4, and really love the sound it produces. It doesn't seem to cut out side and rear noises 100%, but if it's close to the subject you're recording, the difference between the main sounds and the background sounds are enough to give you good separation .I'm a professional photographer, but new to video and the whole audio world. I realize that there's a big difference between a microphone costing a few hundred dollars and this one, but for me just starting out, this has really improved my audio quality quite a lot .As a bonus, you can actually use a AA battery installed in the microphone if your recorder doesn't provide 48 volt phantom power. But I haven't tried that yet .Overall, very happy with this purchase .I saw somebody's video showing that the microphone wasn't aligned properly with the hot shoe mount and that the mount was loose. There are two adjusters on the mount. One is for tightening the mount to the hot shoe, and the second one tightens the collar to the microphone. So you can align it however you want in any direction you want and then lock it into place. Maybe that wasn't so obvious to the person that shot the video. Or maybe it was a competitor trying to discredit this brand. But I have no faults with it.

Good mike that doesn't break the bank and performs admirably.

This is a good product for capturing speakers voices just outside of the camera view. I’ve only it for indoors. I did however notice some wind noise from a ceiling fan on high. This was with both supplied wind guards in use.

Schade das kein XLR Kabel dabei ist
