Editorial Review:
The MKE 300 has been specially designed for use on film and video cameras/camcorders. It is fitted onto the camera's flashmount and by virtue of its super-cardioid/lobar pick-up pattern picks up the sound coming from the direction the camera is pointing at.

Rating:  - Best super-cardoid mic for less than $1000
In the 20 years that I have been doing corporate videography, I have always believed that it's better to invest more and have the best equipment rather than try to cut corners and end up with mediocre results.
The super cardoid pattern is very effective at focusing the sound input and will pick up audio up to 30' in front of the camera very clearly. The sound quality is perfect, excellent tone without noticeable noise.

Rating:  - Sennheiser Mic failure - Bad Cable
I purchased the Sennheiser shotgun microphone last December 2006. It Just stop working during the filming in the middle of a "Once in a Life Time" event. Lost all the audio for the video I shot that day. Yep that's right BAD cable. This microphone has a major problem with the cable. I have been very careful using the microphone. The cable was never stretched or abused. I take very care of all my camera equipment. I don't know what I can do with this broken microphone now but I wouldn't buy another ... Read More
Rating: - phenomenal!
I'm sorry the previous reviewer had problems with his/her unit. I don't believe that experience is typical. I and my colleagues have used these in tough expeditionary situations all over the world. The directionality and quality is phenomenal. They do seem cheaply constructed - so much so that I avoided getting one in favor of much more expensive, heavier mics, until I used a friend's on a shoot and was sold. In my experience they are excellent in every way.
Rating: - Great Audio...Too Delicate
I have had this mic for about a year now. it worked great for a while and gave really impressive audio quality. Unfortunetly this didn't last long.
I have to disagree with the reviewer above, as I treat my camera and audio equipment with care, yet this microphone failed me twice. The problem is the cable from the mic that plugs into your camcorder...it's way too sensiitive. My cable stretched and there was a short....it didn't pick up any audio and I took it to an authorized Sennheiser repair department ... Read More
