I want to film out side, but is windy were I am at. Will this block wind, and have good sound quality? What is sound distance the mic can pick up?

Depending on the wind and your budget you might have to go in to an ADR and record there. If not the only way I have had some success is to make sure you have the wind coming from the back of the mic. Your still going to get wind noise no matter what......Mother Nature......... also try putting the foam sleeve on and the fur cover. Go luck

The best you can do is either put a dead cat on it or a blimp. It doesn't pick up much noise outside anyway unless it's REALLY windy. Mild wind noise will cancel itself out unless it's hitting the mic dead on the front end.As for distance, the sound quality will deteriorate with distance. I would not go more than 5-8 feet from the subject. Use a boom if needed.

i've been able to pick up sound up to as far as 20 feet of someone talking to another person. However, the noise will increase as well. outdoors, you'd be better off with a windfur or a blimp or a lav or a lav with fur. but this alone won't block wind. it just produces great sound quality, nice bass, balanced treble, compared to on-camera mics or cheaper mics. For even better results, i hear that the NTG3 works as good as the Senheiser 416, which is the minimum mic hollywood would use. then put the NTG3/416 in a blimp with fur on the blimp and that will be the best wind cutting system.

I am not sure what you are asking. Here is the link to a video with an interview I recorded outside with one man, but others behind and to the right kept making comments off camera. All recorded with the mic mounted pointing forward on the camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPArQkwxK-s jump ahead a couple minutes if you don't want to watch the introduction. I hope this will help.

The wind noise canceling is effective. But it won't work against stronger winds. It's still great for normal breezes and the like. Just keep expectations realistic.

to be very honnest, I beleive it would not be the best set-up. since you have alot of wind coming to your face. Also, any microphone with your set-up will cause noise to the other passenger. Hope my response is clear enough. Thank you....

Yes absolutely you will be able to. I've only had mine a week and have been Vlogging with it from the get go. Check out my video https://youtu.be/wDqFCMRr6s8 I did a review even focusing on wind noise at highspeeds.

Using it outside, vs inside, really no difference unless adverse weather condition, really windy will, of course cause wind noise. Not water proof.Microphones do not know what type of Events they are being used for. SorryIt is a good, low cost wireless mic with decent range. Hope this helps

It deaden outdoor wind effectively and interference source object produce breath voice on the tape.so the distance 5-10M like we chat is ok .thanks!

oh yes, it has a mic, and a good one too. I live in an area that can be quite windy at times, in the past I couldnt make phone calls from outside because the wind noise was too much. Now I can, on most days, still make calls because the mic somehow cuts the wind noise down to a reasonable level and people can hear me just fine, and i can definitely hear them because the earbuds are so snug and the sound quality so good, so clear.

I like it. I filmed a cousin's outdoor wedding from behind the back row, and it picked up the audio better than a lot of the people in the audience were able to hear it. Not much wind noise either. The only bad audio I've gotten from it was when I filmed close to some kind of drain that was moving a fair amount of water off a dock and into the water below, but I'm not sure any built-in mic would've done well with that much din in the background. (To its credit, I can still make out most of the words in that recording.)

Hi Sharon, I've only recorded a couple videos right after I received the camera and those were only for testing the record function. I didn't record any audio but I do remember some slight wind noise. I just did a quick test recording the tv sound and it was ok. If you decide to purchase the camera, keep in mind the microphone is located on top close to where you would hold it with your left hand. Also, it is not stereo. The camera has served my needs and I've been very pleased with it. Photos are not DSLR quality but pretty good nonetheless. Wi-fi backup and sending via email on my home network work great. Sorry I don't have a better reply regarding the sound quality. Hi Sharon, I've only recorded a couple videos right after I received the camera and those were only for testing the record function.

what's great about these mic's is that they do a great job to eliminate any kind of sound in the background, there were yard men in my yard and it did not pick up those noises as i was recording. The quality is decent and for podcasts it should be perfect. I only recommend better mic's for studio recordings or playing a concert with a full band where you gotta try to fill a lot of empty space.

This mic is highly directional. Therefore it does not pick up as much extraneous sound (i.e. mouse clicks, fan noises, etc). The downside is that you must speak right into it. I work about five inches away form it and find it a bit quieter than my Blue Yeti. Sound quality is very good.

When you get the microphone, it comes in a nice brown, wooden box that is lined with snug black foam (it's great for transporting). They will also give you a shock mount with extra elastic bands (to be used when the bands on the shock mount stretch out). There is also a foam filter covering for your microphone (I don't recommend using that as the wind screen, though. It's extremely thick. It's more there to protect your microphone from dust) and instructions included within a soft plastic bag. You will need to buy your own XLR Female (Pin) to Male (cord) or any XLR converter that you wish (XLR to USB, etc). I will let you know as well that the shock mount is a bit flimsy and it is a tight squeeze for the mic (you'd have to pry open the shock mount to get the microphone back out). Personally, I'm trying to find a better shock mount but it is absolutely not necessary to get a different mount. Overall, this microphone is a quality microphone (for its price) and you truly cannot go wrong with buying it! Good luck! :)

I do believe so! It has very crisp, clear sound recording for it's price, for sure. I'd also buy a windscreen (pop filter) to ease out the harsh "P's" and "S's", as well as minimizing wind and other faint background noise. I bought one of these, then cut out a small hole on the face to make room for the USB to fit through~On Stage Foam Ball-Type Mic Windscreen, Black

You have a hot shoe on top for auxillary mic if you want a directional, shot gun with muff added for windy, limiting noise. The stereo mic in place for side to side, front and rear is superior. Google mooers realty on you tube and sample some videos for demonstration. The camera in use. http://www.youtube.com/mooersrealty

The sound quality for listening and on the mic is excellent except in high wind.
