After I ordered the product, I was, as usual, the corresponding order confirmation via mail. Only on the basis of this confirmation could tell you: Location: Hong Kong. Well fine - that was not noticeable in the item description! DC I thought, then I must certainly wait a few weeks and perhaps even emerge from customs duties - - - - No, it was not natural. The item came very quickly, well packaged, accessories as described. The box looks really professional from ... Of course, I tried the microphone immediately. Battery clean, connected to the camcorder, set up to control headphones, camera and mic. turn - and then came the great horror: an incredibly loud noise was heard. Even with the switch to low sensitivity. The ticking of the clock on the wall was even clearly heard. But if I now switch nor the SHIFT to the higher sensitivity, the sound from the strong noise is no longer usable. I immediately wanted to pack up everything and send it back again. But then I first went to the balcony to test some other sounds - Straßenlärrm and birdsong. Now suddenly there was the sound off (at least with low sensitivity)! The reason: It was not the micro-quality, but the first test in my study I was too close to the camera on the router !!! I have wireless canceled, but the router also has a DECT station. This interferes with the microphone too close! Therefore now my summary assessment: 1. microphone handy, stylish and practical, 2. Accessories sufficiently (with windscreen, carrying bag, mounting hardware, cables) 3. sensitivity and sound quality well, with active high sensitivity (+10 dB) by the strong noise of little use, 4. The Assembly about the strange "suspension" may look very professional and suggests a slight touch sensitivity - that is unfortunately a fallacy! Any operation on the camera, any slight movement of a finger on the camera can be heard as noise. I know that not so very different from other microphones. I have here a very sensitive directional microphone (but only mono), as is not the case. 5. After turning on a green LED is continuously (this was in other microphones ever complained that the LED lights briefly). At low battery voltage the LED is red - very convenient. (I control but anyway through headphones). - For the price therefore a useful product. Who would like to have higher quality, just need to pay even more ...
