Amazing Clarity!

PhilsterDeluxe from Los Angeles, CA

I was a bit skeptical when I was looking at this mic online because of the low price, but it performs really well! I use the mic for low/no budget comedy videos and the sound comes out with minimal hiss or white noise. Perfect kicking your low budget projects up a notch! Read more

Great audio for video

martin from Atlanta, GA

Used with Canon XH-A1 HDV camcorder for family event capture and in noisy environments. Very good directionality and sensitivity with reasonable noise. I shot video of our dog running around the yard chasing a ball and the audio of leaves rustling beneath her feet and her breathing is clear and crisp up to distances of 20 feet without a lot of extraneous noise from airplanes overhead. I'm very happy with the quality of build and it's light enough to not add much weight to the camera. It's too long to keep on the camera in the camera bag I have but this can't be helped if you want a very directional shotgun mike. Read more

Great sound for a low price!

Fred from Stanhope, New Jersey

I purchased the AT8035 after considering many shotgun microphones in the same price-range and no other microphone is as highly rated. I use this for short film productions and the quality is superb. GOOD: Length, interchangeable threads for mount, great off-axis noise rejection, gold-plated XLR plug, runs on phantom power OR battery (included). BAD: It can pick up harsh echoes in large rooms where they occur... but that is typical of this kind of microphone. Read more

Good mic for a good price

Brett from Houston, Tx

While on a modest budget, a microphone is something that a small investment should be made. This works well within those means, and works well with the gear we had. Using a Canon XL1s with an attached MA-200, the microphone performed admirably. Getting the sound we wanted wile negating the noise we didn't want. An overall good choice. Read more

Quality mic

Scott from Chicago, IL

For the money, it does a very good job. Nice clean sound with little to no echo. There is a setting to futher improve the cancellation of echos when shooting in smaller areas. I definately recommend this model for people looking for a sub 300 dollar mic. You certainly get bang for the buck with this one. Read more
