Polsen VM-180M DSLR/Video Microphone Deal for $49. Is this mic any good?
  • CFreakCFreak

    On sale for $49 for the next 2 days at B&H. I can't easily find reviews on it's quality. I do like the fact it has a headphone jack. Does anyone have experience how it sounds? I have 2 good, prosumer shotguns (Rode NTGs and Beyer MCE 86II) to mount onto DSLRs but though this might be simpler for run & gun work plus have a headphone jack for cameras that don't have them...

    We had such in Germany. Shock mount is really bad and make sounds.
    Microphone is also not best, it is cheap Chinese thing. Yep, headphone jack is good, yet as I remember it is weak, plus it does not show you recorded sound from camera (only some version microphone supply).

    Tx! I will avoid it then :-)

    Unless it is a NTG3 I wouldn't call it "prosumer".

    to mount onto DSLRs

    Wrong place to put it
