Tried out the microphone and it Compared with sound recorded from the internal microphone It does reduce the noise ratio. But do not expect any miracles. Outside with mild wind its not really a great mike. The Sennheiser Windscreen That is sold seperately only slightly Removes wind noise. It falls off Easily as well. The microphone is Placed on 2 rubber brackets to keep the microphone from picking up shaking noise, but instead the microphone shakes heavily When you manipulate the camera and THUS Creates harmful noise on the recording I want to keep the microphone Because it does give good sound When you film on a tripod. If you film by hand look for another model Because The handling noise ruins your recording.
