This is a good affordable sterio mic for your DSLR. Its not a shotgun mic like I thought it was. Instead this is a true sterio mic. It will pickup everything around the camera. It has very clear separation from the left and right channels which could improve your videos by adding an extra bit of realism. Its able to record good amounts of sound data that will improve the overall quality of your DSLRs recordings. It will also just about eliminate wind buffeting.
This mic is made 90% out of metal. It mic itself is isolated with rubber from the rest of the unit. The base is made from plastic. I assume this is to prevent the mic from breaking the cameras hotshoe if you were to ever drop your camera.
I gave this mic four stars only because there are better options on the market. However if your just getting into video this mic is very simple to use. It just has one switch to turn the lowcut on and off. Lowcut will help when shooting outdoors.
