Features:

The MKE 600 shotgun mic is the ideal video camera/camcorder microphone able to handle even demanding filmic challenges. Due to its high directivity, the MKE 600 picks up sounds coming from the direction in which the camera is pointing and effectively attenuates noise coming from the sides and rear.

The switchable "Low Cut" filter additionally minimizes wind noise. Because some video cameras/camcorders do not provide phantom power, the MKE 600 can also be battery powered. A battery on/off switch prevents the battery from discharging prematurely; "Low Batt" is displayed.

Julian ★★★★★

The shock mount that comes in the box locks onto a camera shoe without any rattling, which is a relief. Swapped out the built-in mic on my camcorder for this and the directional pickup makes interviews sound like a proper production. Foam windshield's snug fit is a bonus for when the breeze kicks up

Christopher ★★★★★

I’ve been using this mic with my camera for a few weeks now, and the foam windshield is a lifesaver when I’m shooting outside on breezy days. The pick-up pattern is surprisingly narrow, so background noise barely sneaks in. It’s become a permanent part of my kit.

Thomas V. ★★★★★

The shock mount really cuts out handling noise, so the audio stays clean even when I'm moving around. The foam windshield works well enough outdoors that I don't miss the blimp. The carry pouch is a nice touch for keeping everything together.
