Ensure your camera has a standard 3.5mm external microphone input, as this shotgun microphone is not compatible with cameras featuring a 2.5mm mic input, such as the Canon EOS Rebel T6.
This versatile microphone offers three-level gain: a +10 dB boost for higher gain signals, a 0 dB unity gain, and a -10 dB pad to prevent distortion in loud environments. Whether you're recording indoors or outdoors, the included foam windscreen and deadcat furry windjammer efficiently minimize unwanted noise.
With its super-cardioid polar pattern, you can focus on capturing audio directly in front of the camera, reducing side noises for a clearer, closer sound. Plus, the high-pass filter switch helps eliminate ambient noise and low-frequency sounds, ensuring your recordings are sharp and professional.
