Have just bought the Sennheiser MKE300 (it's New Zealand product code) and have found it excellent, but I did have to buy a "shock mount" bracket for it so that the wind jammer didn't appear in the frame - it stands the mike up about 2.5 inches off the cam, and is on flexible rubber thingys so you get zero tape/head noise. I have heard that those sony shotgun "zoom" mikes (the ones that work with the intelligent accessory shoe) are a bit of a have.(posted 8976 days ago)
