Sennheiser - MKE 200

Sennheiser mke200 , bought it for my camera but I don't need it there that much so I use it for pc. And side note avoid buying mics from gaming brands these are just white labelled products at huge markups. If you're serious about audio, then firstly an audio interface is a must.

I have the Sennheiser MKE200. It's quite small for an external mic, but the quality is meh.

I went with the Sennheiser MKE200 based on [this video.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8l2EBeQJfo). It is the least tall in its category and is also quite windproof. I also like the look more than the other brands.

I haven't found a hot shoe mic option yet unfortunately. The MKE200 works pretty good in the wind, but the sound quality is the same as the internal microphone. If you can, try to get something better

I'm using senheizer mke200. little and light. I also have dji mic2. I prefer mke200 on sony body becose it is ready to go straight after turning the camera on. Dji mic needs more buttons to press and wait to connect. And I had few times when I thing cable didn't get working properly and audio end up bad. With senheizes no issues at all. Dji mic is brilliant with osmo action 4 wirelessly. Dji mic records more what you saying with much quieter background, senheiser records much more background audio. both very good on strong wind. :)

If the goal is to record yourself or things close, the Sennheiser MKE200 is a great small mic, and it has a 'blimp' design that with the included deadbeat makes it a good outside performer. I prefer its bigger sibling, the MKE400 more due to battery powered, auto on/off, switch for sensitivity, and a headphone jack for monitoring, but when I was packing light to record my daughter's marching band at Disney, I took the MKE200.

Rode video micro is great for a small mirrorless camera. I run them on all of my mirrorless for scratch audio. Sounds pretty good when you’re within interview distance to a subject too, if you know what you’re doing with a channel strip. Perfectly adequate for ambient sounds. I normally love Sennheiser but avoid the MKE 200. Bought two for a project a while back and they were so bad I had to return them. Terrible sound quality.

Just ordered the MKE200 Do you have experience with it? Was looking at the Rødes, but for the price it seemed still very competitive.

What sort of treatment do you have on your mic? The foam windscreen should make a difference, the dead [insert animal here] covers generally do better. Granted, despite the label, the Rode consumer microphones aren't really true shotgun mics, but you have to add another zero at the end of the price tag to get something like a Sennheiser MKE that really does the job.
