Questions & Answers

Does the mic pick up motor or arm movement noise if attached to the gimbal of the DJI OM3?

All noise in close proximity can be picked up by the mic. I would describe it as a good, but not spectacular microphone. It was designed more for video blogging. It is my hope that this was useful for you.

Do you think it will work on my desktop or laptop?

The answer is yes, as long as you have a computer with An input jack for TRRS or TRS is provided on the device. My MKE worked great with Zoom and voiceovers in iTunes and iMovie as well as GarageBand, so it might not be the ideal mic for those jobs but it's okay (you'll want a tabletop In order to get a good signal, make sure to choose "external mic" in the sound panel and to set input level at 80%+.

Can you please tell me how high the mic is from the base of the cold shoe to the top?

With the microphone, all types of cameras and smartphones are compatible

Could this be used to connect to a Fujifilm X100v? Can you give me an overview of external microphones (sorry, first time looking at them)?

A microphone is a standard feature of every camera and phone.

Selected User Reviews For Sennheiser Pro Audio MKE 200 condenser microphone for cameras and mobile devices, Black (MKE200)

Don't Let The MKE Get Away From You As soon as you use the Sennheiser MKE-100 The 250 microphone on my Sony a6400 has left me unimpressed and at times flat-out disappointed after using the device for about two days
3/5

This is especially true since Sennheiser MKE-65 The 400 (which I have been using for years) is a wonderful microphone. One would think that a prestigious company such as Sennheiser would produce a better product. It is still an impressive microphone for the money. It is the MKE-related issues that are the biggest concerns Basically, the Micro 200 is a cardioid microphone enclosed in a mini-enclosure This plastic zeppelin is an invention of Mrs. Unlike the MKE-310 shotgun mic, it's not a dedicated shotgun mic A poor or unusable result can range from the survey. You'll notice when you move your camera even the slightest amount that the MKE-45 is very sensitive Using this new technology, the 200 will pick up every little click, clunk, bump, rumble, and thud possible and will make it sound like an orchestra of drunken mess. I have noticed there is a slight difference in audio clarity to the left and right of the mic when I hold the camera (and mic) still, but I can't tell a discernible difference between the two The Sony a6400 has an onboard microphone and the Sony a200 does not. It is possible that if you mount this microphone to a stationary camera for vlogging, your sound quality will be improved by half. It is an excellent microphone for the money, but should be able to do more. If you want a good setting for your phone, then I recommend the Sennheiser MKE-610 Please substitute 400 for 400. The microphone performs wonderfully for its price range because it is a shotgun microphone.

The Sennheiser VS Rode Videomic is a wireless microphone
3/5

The phone mic sounds slightly better than the one on the iPhone. I believe that. The Senheiser is compared to a Rode Videomic Go in this video. Senheiser has let me down once again. It was expected that they would provide better audio quality. I find it to be extremely sensitive and picks up background noise, and it can have a very tinny sound. It focuses on treble but lacks any bass at all. It is a much better choice for content creators to use the Videomic. Sounds more like a natural voice. Honestly, I was hoping Senheiser would be better because, in my opinion, it blends in more with a camera cosmetically. For the same price as Rode Videomic Compact but with much better audio, get the Rode Videomic Compact.

Design is the best, even though I have hair loss
4/5

I believe that. It is compact and cute, with a great design. The sound quality is okay, but could use a bit of EQ, and there might be cheaper alternatives to this. A number of things are wrong with the dead cat, including its hair loss and the need Other than that, the design of this shotgun microphone is undoubtedly the best among its peers. It is very compact and can fit in any camera. The bare minimum!.

Please be careful! You should be aware that there are not all smartphone models compatible
3/5

- Or simply a glitchy product. I have tested four microphones, including the Rode Wireless Go system, the Boya microphone, and the InTuition Movo, all of which are marketed as smartphone compatible when the TRS to TRRS adapter is used. Trying to figure out why the Sennheiser would not consistently record my audio during video capture on my Samsung NOTE 20 Ultra (2020) has taken me literally hours. The same three steps should be used. Connect a 5mm to a Plug the C adapter in. In contrast to the other three microphones, this one in particular wasn't working as expected. The recording would sometimes work, but other times, without any apparent reason, would not, leaving me with an hour worth of wasted video. Sometimes it would not record and end recording at the same time. In actuality, I wouldn't be able to end the recording without my assistance. What a pain. This was not done by any of the others. You may also. Additionally, it would have been nice for the volume slider not to pop up constantly after plugging it in since it would interact with my Android software somehow. This was NOT the case with the other three. What's the reason? The only thing I didn't like about this was I wanted to like it more than the rest. However, I decided to return it because of problems with reliability and the danger of wasting time recording or not recording. There may be some issues to work out with a brand new product.

The cable is not red and the design is beautiful
5/5

Good quality, reasonable price, and the cables are not red I believe that. The pros are This is important to not lose track of. Interesting designs, I like the idea of the shock mount and wind screen being internal. This is a smaller and sleeker version of the Rode Videomicro. This is important to not lose track of. My built-in wind screen works well most of the time, and I don't need to use my wind cover/dead cat. My rode's deadcat is loose and has fallen off multiple times before on the other hand, the wind cover is very soft and comfortable and fits perfectly. This is important to not lose track of. Rode videomicro records with a louder sound than a Rode recording microphone. This is important to not lose track of. This kit includes a beautiful blue/teal color TRS and TRRS cable with a The cons are This is important to not lose track of. It's probably only me, I mount the mic on the side using the cold shoe relocate when vlogging, there is a "microphonic" effect on the video - the demonstration video is a bit over the top, but I notice the effect as I use it every day. Added the top cold shoe and it works much better than the bottom Sennheiser has produced a beautiful, quality built, affordable sound solution for light YouTubers/vloggers. With its beautiful design, quality build and reasonable price, I'm glad Sennheiser has created a sound solution I think is a great option.

It's Sennheiser all the way
4/5

Materials and construction of the microphone, phone adapter, and tripod are of high quality. This makes the rig very easy to set up, and very manoeuvrable. I have a mic that goes like this I've listened to a lot of competing reviews, and I think it sounds really good. Having a windscreen inbuilt is a big It can be a challenge to install the furry cover, so it is rated at 4 rather than 5 stars, but it works well. I find that placing the cable jack at the front works well, rather than at the rear.

There is a fantastic sound in this
5/5

It is for that purpose that you need a mic. The first day, it actually went up in flames. A small mixer with phantom power was plugged into it and both 1 and 2 had phantom power. A battery is connected to a 5 volt and a 48 volt source. It is possible that the MKE200 did not like the 48v power supply. I agree, however. A second mic was immediately ordered after I liked the first one so much. It's impossible to find any other mic that small that sounds like this. Take advantage of the sale!.

I recommend the Crystal Sound Microphone
5/5

I cannot complain about the sound quality, especially for the price. I have found it easy to connect and light weight, and it fits right onto my camera tripod. Images tell a story better than words ever could.
