Review: Captures Terrific High-Gain Audio - I've used a variety of mini-shotguns while filming an off-road series, called In4Lo, on desertcart Prime. Full-sized shotguns won't work because they're so long they show up in your picture. I've been using an Azden recently, but have been dissatisfied with its poor audio gain. However this inexpensive Takstar capture terrific audio, specifically dialog - which is the hardest thing to capture when you're outdoors surrounded by noisy engines.
Review: Great value, external battery, plenty of videos online regarding setting up. - To be honest, this is my first shotgun mic I've ever owned and I'm very impressed. Took some time to figure out how to tweak the sound but it does what i need! It may not have all the adjustments an expensive one has, but if you are on a budget then this is the Mic for you. I use it with my Canan Vixia HFR800 for my YouTube channel and its perfect. I recommend this to someone on a budget and just starting out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than built-in
*by D***E on December 9, 2019*

Not as directional as I was hoping. Does work very well. It will take some time to dial in settings to get the best results. I really didn’t have time to experiment before I had to use it, but end the end, it got the job done.
