Nobody answered so I bought it on hit or miss.

And it's a hit! Low noise, high sensitivy, rich sound, way far better than Røde not to mention crappy MKE 400. Also to recommend U.K. dealer http://www.rubadub.co.uk/ for great communication and smooth E.U. b2b transaction without VAT.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev I can do that if sb is interested. I am just preparing a 8 days shooting abroad and when I am back I will set up a side by side comparision of MXL FR-310, Sennheiser ME66, ATR 897 and Røde Stereo mic. Feel free to remind me after 20th of July ;-)

@peaceonearth Interesting!

@peaceonearth - I know good sound, but not certain semantics as to how it "mixes" I seem to have forgotten all that I learned in college... Does using a mono mic make a difference (sound wise) as opposed to a stereo mic w/ the GH2?

@peaceonearth - I noticed that it is a mono microphone. Are you mixing it with other mics? Or are you going straight into cam? In what ways is it better than the Rode? I need to order for a shoot that just came up for Monday.

ok thanks!

@TraumManufaktur it has only a small rubber block for shock absorbing. I was a little sceptical too but up to now had no issues with camera noise. Compared to Røde with 9V battery block it uses a AAA battery which is a big advantage also. I agree with the rating of MKE400 in this video (I news this before, this guy is a real fidget) but I wrote my estimation already above, also where I bought it in EU for a reasonable price.

@Peternap This 3.5 to 2.5 adapter has served me well with my wireless bridge and MKE 300. Only inconvenience is that I have to change the files from Stereo to Double-Mono in my NLE.

No sound guy on the specs, but this one gives me a worry-free solid connection for run & gun.

@peaceonearth Thanks for the feedback. The more I see comparisons, the more I stick with my MKE 300 for now with its long tube. Other things are a priority to buy.
