Great sound pickup. Good directional focus. The only thing that was a surprise to me was finding out that although this mic is supposed to work using power from its battery OR taking power from an external source, it turns out that the internal battery must still be in place for the mic to work even when external power is provided!

Really nice mic/power supply combo. I have used it to replace the cheap mic that came with my camcorder. I've always believed in Sennheiser, and this mic hasn't let me down. I use it as a shotgun/ambient sound mic on my camcorder, and to mic on-camera conversations where my wireless mics wouldn't be applicable. I immediately bought a "dead cat" windscreen in addition to the standard foam windscreen, because I also shoot in some high-wind areas. Also - FYI - the K6 power supply (this one) uses 'AA' (penlight) batteries, which is a HUGE benefit over the OLD power supplies that used proprietary batteries that are no longer made. Do your research before you buy a mic/power supply combo, and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble. This combo, at the present time, is GREAT for my applications.Read full review
Good Mic, Not Great self noise is an issue in quiet recordings, overall this is a good mic, if you can find a clean used one for no more than $200 buy it, be sure it has the power K6 and ME66 capsule for that price.

This turned out to be just what I was looking for. It produces a clear sound with very little noise. Its light weight makes it easy to use on top of camera as well, though so far I mostly use it on a boom stand to capture speech and sound effects both indoor and outdoor. The only other shotgun mics I have to compare are rode video mics. This obviously is another league. I wish it came with a windscreen but I purchased a cheap Movo one that is working well, for non windy situations at least.

I invested in Rode when I got started. Always heard the hype about Sennheiser hyper cardioid capsules but until now hadn't taken the plunge. I'm super impressed with how lightweight and quiet it is. I had to roll back the gain from where my Rode NTG3 usually sits. With the ME66 there is no noise what so ever coming from my pre-amps. The only minus the ME66 gets is the carrying case design. It's basically one of those plastic coated paper boxes you see children's paint brushes sold in. It snaps together with a button you would see on your Grandma's sweater. Definitely want to get something else to transport it in.
