Happiness is 22cm ...

And this is the perfect microphone will go to those who want professional-quality sound! Hypercardioid, with the choice of high-pass filter to improve voice, XLR phantom: you've got the best choice that could be among the astronomical amount of microphones. It is light enough (very good point when mounted on a pole), very quick to set up and restores to NO unpleasant background noise or breath. It largely competes with any microphone. You can just ask him, he will. The windscreen is very effective unless of course the wind starts blowing really hard (I have not pushed the use in the harshest conditions but I'll try).
I use it with a pole, a suspension and an XLR 3 meter cable (not supplied) for short films and it impressed me: I saved dialogues that seemed irretrievable Yet when shooting (cars, tractors , clippers, ROTOFIL, planes ...). Effective as indoors and outdoors, I plug a digital recorder Zoom H4n. And here I'm thrilled!
