Polaroid Pro Video Condenser Shotgun Microphone Review

I used this adapter to connect a Polsen SCL-1075 Camera Mount Condenser Shotgun Microphone to a Samsung Galaxy S5, and it works fine. I really like the 90-degree plug, and the quality seems great. Only wish is that I had found an adapter with an additional female output for headphones to be used simultaneously with a mic.

connecting the condenser microphone, quite functional

good basic Large Capsule Condenser Microphone.

Great shotgun exceptional value for money. I use this shotgun microphone in the field for multimedia projects. Pro use

Rode VideoMic Pro Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone vyry good product!

If you are a YouTube creator like me.If you are on a budget around $60.00 this would be the great microphone for your YT Videos and films.This is very compact microphone.It comes with the windscreen to block out wind from getting into your audio.No need of buying batteries.Just "Plug & Play" with the microphone.If you want to get into advanced microphones go for the Rode Shotgun Pro Microphone.The Rode Video micro is the same thing of the Rode Shotgun Pro but in a small and cheaper form.If you are a new creator or you are spending a budget on film supplies to improve.This is the best microphone for you!Buying this Rode mic from B&H is cheaper than buying from Best Buy or any other camera areas.It is the way to go to buy from B7H photos for this mic for $55.99 in total.No tax if you are outside of the map.Great support.

Great little shotgun microphone. I tested it on a video and it impresses me on how good the quality of the audio came out. It is no professional microphone but it'll get the job done if you're shooting videos on your phone.

I first learned about this product when i worked for the first video production company about 19 years ago. I used this same model in film school for a lot of assignments as well. This is a great alternative of the Zeppelin system especially when you are on a budget. It fits my Sennheiser ME-66 shotgun microphone like a glove. It is a very compact unit yet professionally designed to eliminate distortion created by strong wind when capturing outdoor audio. It virtually weights like nothing added to the microphone when using a boom pole. When I work in Run & Gun mode, I just mount the shotgun microphone on the cold-shoe of my camera. I am very satisfied with the result of every recording I did with it.

I have to say that this mic has got to be one of the best if not the best values you will find in its price range for a shotgun microphone. I am currently using the mic for video recording and am tying the mic directly into my camera. I have found the audio to be of acceptable quality without having to connect it to an external recorder. The low cut filter also helps a great deal to minimize some of the unwanted noise if not recording in a studio.

I have an OLY PEN PM2 and an EM-5 I use for video. I use this bracket with the microphone attachment to mount a shotgun microphone for high quality audio leaving the hot shoe on the camera free for a flash or a viewfinder.
