This was my dream microphone for location sound. It is versatile between indoor and outdoor environments, sound quality is great especially for a shotgun mic at its price range. The battery slot makes it available to use with a wireless transmitter or with any device that cannot supply phantom power. I highly recommend this microphone to anyone in the location sound field recording field regardless of their budget.

I have several Audio-Technica mics they all serve a purpose, are inexpensive (not cheaply made) & work very well. I decided to get an XLR mic for video recordings with my GL2. I attached the AT897 to a XLR adapter with pre amp...WOW what a difference!! The AT897 has a sharp, rich dynamic audio that has improved my video 1000%. I will never use the on camera mic again. The AT897 kit is well worth the inexpensive investment!!!
Nice sleek design, will be hung from the lighting rails for our community theater. I now have three for vocal coverage.

This is one excellent quality shotgun microphone with low handling noise very directional . It has a built-in AA battery compartment for those without phantom power (that lasts 1000+ hours) and also has an 80Hz low cut switch that's impossible to flip accidentally. Comes with battery, windscreen foam and a holder. If you want to use this excellent quality microphone with a dSLR or small video camera with jack input you'll need a short cable to connect XLR Female to mini jack 3.5mm. You'll also need a hot shoe shockmount. Other than that it has a high quality and standard XLR connection that can be used with any 40cm long blimp, boom pole or tripod.
Audio Technica makes some good, affordable, specialty mics - and the AT 897 is one of them. I've used one before on several video shoots and I was surprised at how good the audio was. To be sure, there are more expensive shotgun mics that are amazing, but if you're looking for a decent mic that can get it done, this is a great option...
