Shenggu Sg-108 Stereo Microphone For Dslr Dv Camera

Its obviously not a rode but it does the job for the price. If your a professional, this is disposable. Ive used mine for close up motorcbike passes on a track. Was reasonable, little static (easily removed)but it didn't survive a motocross boot at 40mph. About to purchase 3 more for an outdoor wedding microphone set up. Fingers crossed, I don't regret the idea

It came not working even when batteries were replaced and the company wouldn't help to sort it out :(((

I had been looking for a decent but reasonably priced extension mike for my Panasonic HC-V700 camcorder. There were several listed on Amazon and eBay but most of them were mono and many others were considerably more expensive than this. The mike is compact but seems reasonably well made. Included is the battery which fits into a slide-off cover at the back of the mike. The on-off switch confused me at first as when switching-on there was a momentary flash from the LED. The instructions which are a bit difficult to decipher reassured me that this is normal. If the LED stays on steadily then it means the battery needs replacing. On my camera, I get a sliding-bar display on the screen to show input levels and in both wide and narrow sound focus the levels are reassuringly high. I can't distinguish any loss of quality in between this mike and the inbuilt ones but the advantage is the mike can be masked for wind-noise. The foam muffler which comes with the mike is not that effective in anything but a gentle breeze, but I fashioned myself a furry muffler from a furry fabric off-cut and the difference is very marked. Mufflers can be bought over the web, but they seem over-priced. However, if you're not handy with a needle and thread they would be worth the expense to cut out the wind noise. I've used the mike on several occasions now and I am more than happy with the results. You need to remember to switch it on though otherwise you end up with a silent movie!

To be honest for the money this isn't a bad mic, the switch from 90° to 120° makes no difference however. It is more of a shotgun mic than standard mic but don't be expecting it to zoom right across the room. It's better than built in mic and battery lasts for ages on it.

doesn't fit...ridiculous if you don't know your product type don't write rubbish so people will buy it.

Didn't work

microfono non professionale ma funzionale. se di ha bisogno di una precisione di audio con esclusione di ambiente è un buon prodotto. ovviamente la sua potenza non è eccellente ma visto il prezzo è un prodotto più che degno!

ok

I am using a Canon Vixia M400 out in the wind and the internal mic was getting horrible results. I really needed to do something. I searched and searched for a solution, and the SG-108 Boom Mic sounded like it might work. The reviews for this and identical products with similar names had mixed reviews, but mostly positive. I decided to give it a try. When the package arrived I quickly mounted it to my camera (using an Shoe Adapter, MSA-1 also from Amazon) and started playing. The new mic was working great! Blowing on the mic did show that I might still have some issues with wind, and I suspected I would. The sound quality on the 90 degree setting was very nice. If I talked from behind the camera, it still picked up my voice, but it was at an acceptable level. It also did a very nice job of blocking other noises that were not in front on the mic. Time to take the camera out in the real world and see how she does. Here is a sample video that has had no editing done to it: vimeo dot com/54003908 In this video, the camera is in a steady and constant wind of about 15 mph. With the stock mic, or without the foam cover on the SG-108 the wind noise would be horrible. In this video it is a mild rumble. You can hear the faint wispers from the glider flying past, and voices from the guys. I recently picked up a "dead cat" wind filter that fits over the black foam. (Micover Slipover Windscreen for RODE VideoMic VM, it is a little large, but I just folded some material inward and it now fits great.) Tests show improved results for this little mic. Hopefully will get out and test this setup soon. The only negative I have is the power switch on the mic. It only lights up the LED for a split second when you first turn it on. The only other time it lights up is if the battery is low. You need to remember to turn the mic on and off. (I occasionally forget to turn it on.) Very pleased, and would recommend this setup if you are looking for a cheap boom mic, or are interested in seeing if one will work well for your needs. You are not out a lot of cash, and it should work well on a large number of cameras.

Aunque esté hecho de plástico, se nota bastante la diferencia entre el micro de la cámara y el externo. La calidad de sonido es muy buena para lo que es. Lo que no me gustó nada es que no trajese la pila que le hace funcionar, pero se compra en cualquier ferretería.

No se le puede pedir más a este micrófono, que dentro de su precio, cumple bastante bien. La calidad de sonido es bastante aceptable, sobre todo, si se conecta a fuentes de sonido de más calidad que las dslr convencionales.
