Whether you are a journalist, podcaster or video blogger, the VIDEO MIC MS fulfills your need for a very capable camera-mount stereo microphone. The VIDEO MIC MS is a compact, lightweight mid-side stereo microphone that empowers you to shoot videos with high-quality digital audio. The VIDEO MIC MS has a matched pair of high-quality condenser capsules in mid-side configuration to provide more spatial and real live sound with cardioid and bi-directional pickup patterns. The housing of the VIDEO MIC MS is made from high quality copper alloy for durability and a high level of RF rejection. The VIDEO MIC MS works with DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras, video cameras and most audio recorders and provides high-quality vocal performances at a friendly price well within everyone’s budget. The mic can be powered by a DSLR’s plug-in power or a single LR44 battery (not included) with an auto power supply change circuit. It also comes with a convenient power on/off switch for efficient power consumption. The same switch allows you to customize your recordings to your environment - 90° to focus on an individual sound, or 120° for a wider soundstage with surrounding ambience. With a high-quality resonance tube design the VIDEO MIC MS performs better than many other microphones and captures a more natural sound. The short length of the VIDEO MIC MS makes it very practical to carry around. A high-performance camera shock-mount eliminates handling noise. The discreet windscreen comes in handy to eliminate wind-noise during outdoor recordings. The VIDEO MIC MS along with its accessories bundles a high-performance package into a zipper pouch.
