"I run a videography company and use this microphone with my Sony HVR-A1U camcorder. It's a fantastic microphone for wedding and event videography, especially considering its size -- barely 7" in total length. The A1U itself is a small camera so this mic looks right at home in the mount, and the clarity of audio with this device is equal to that of my longer, more expensive ATR897.

Can't hear any camera hum or noise operation of the mic itself; this thing picks up only what's going on around it, not what's going on inside it. Just be sure you use a high-grade XLR cable with it; I tried using an old 25' XLR cord I had lying around and the reception was terrible! Once I hooked up a 3' high-caliber cord, everything was as it should be.

Only downside, and this is through no fault of the microphone itself, is that it's a little too small in diameter to fit comfortably into the included XLR adapter; I had to wrap a strip of rubber around the base, but this is no impediment to audio capture, and unless you're looking really hard it's impossible to even notice.

Brilliant mic. Highly recommended. Works great indoors or out."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
