Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

John ★★★★★

The auto on/off detection is a game-changer for run-and-gun shoots—I've already saved hours of battery life compared to my old mic. Audio clarity is noticeably richer without having to crank the gain.

Ella ★★★★★

The included deadcat windscreen handles outdoor gusts really well, and I love that I can adjust the gain right on the mic without digging into my camera menu. This is the first shotgun that actually made my run-and-gun sound crisp without phantom power.

Hannah H. ★★★★★

For the last few months I've been shooting interviews outdoors and the built-in safety channel has been a lifesaver—no more clipped dialogue when someone gets loud. The 3.5mm output locks in nice and tight to my camera, and the battery life is solid enough for a full day of shooting without swapping
