It delivers a very wide bandwidth with quick transients for a 3-D like holographic presentation. The included wind muff does a decent job of reducing wind noise. It performs well on my Sony full frame mirrorless and with Samsung S19-Ultra. Many mic reviews compare voices for a podcasts that emphasize the popular “baritone” sound. This is not where the SGC-698 excels due to its slightly bright, forward delivery. But put it in a live performance and add about 3db boost to the lower bass and this stands apart from others I own and have tested including the Takstar SGC-598, Sony ECM-B10, Neewer CM-14, Movo VXR280 (stereo). Review: Great for the money. +20dB boost is VERY helpful - I bought this and the Rode Videomic at the same time to film interviews with my Canon t3i. I like the Rode better it terms of presense and range but since its not the pro it doesn't have the +20db boost. With this feature the takstar provides nice clear, usable audio. Best I have used for under $100. I plugged them into the H1 Zoom audio recorder and the noise/hiss all but disappears so consider your options if you need very clear audio. I was not impressed with the high pass but if you were in a rumbly situation maybe it would help. Don't use this for recording music - you definitely need a pre-amp (juicelink makes a good one). But all in all if you need to up your your audio on a budget and want to record through a 1/8" jack this is very reasonably priced. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00OPVYAWE | | Audible Noise | 20 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 44 Decibels | | Brand | TAKSTAR | | Built-In Media | Microphone | | Compatible Devices | Camcorder, Camera | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Connector Type | 3.5 mm Jack | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 19 Reviews | | Included Components | Microphone | | Item Weight | 10.56 ounces | | Mfr Part Number | sgc-698 | | Model Number | SGC-698 | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Omnidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 78 dB | | UPC | 769700169706 701979215517 886085366695 701979576199 701979551714 | ## Images ![TAKSTAR SGC-698 Photography Interview MIC Microphone for Nikon Canon Camera DV Camcorder Canon 1DX 1D MARKIV 5DⅡ 5D3 7D 70D 550D 6D 60D 600D 5D 650D, 100D Nikon D300S / D4 / D35 / D5100 / D5200 / D53 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611bpwVYUML.jpg) ![TAKSTAR SGC-698 Photography Interview MIC Microphone for Nikon Canon Camera DV Camcorder Canon 1DX 1D MARKIV 5DⅡ 5D3 7D 70D 550D 6D 60D 600D 5D 650D, 100D Nikon D300S / D4 / D35 / D5100 / D5200 / D53 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hsl9MES8L.jpg) ![TAKSTAR SGC-698 Photography Interview MIC Microphone for Nikon Canon Camera DV Camcorder Canon 1DX 1D MARKIV 5DⅡ 5D3 7D 70D 550D 6D 60D 600D 5D 650D, 100D Nikon D300S / D4 / D35 / D5100 / D5200 / D53 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ow7HnG1ML.jpg) ![TAKSTAR SGC-698 Photography Interview MIC Microphone for Nikon Canon Camera DV Camcorder Canon 1DX 1D MARKIV 5DⅡ 5D3 7D 70D 550D 6D 60D 600D 5D 650D, 100D Nikon D300S / D4 / D35 / D5100 / D5200 / D53 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Of80iEO3L.jpg) ![TAKSTAR SGC-698 Photography Interview MIC Microphone for Nikon Canon Camera DV Camcorder Canon 1DX 1D MARKIV 5DⅡ 5D3 7D 70D 550D 6D 60D 600D 5D 650D, 100D Nikon D300S / D4 / D35 / D5100 / D5200 / D53 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dLPEcHwPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DELIVERS OUTSTANDING STEREO PRESENTATION FOR LIVE EVENTS *by T***N on February 21, 2020* Although I purchased this Takstar SGC-698 three years ago I’ve only recently begun testing it against six other mics and have found it excels at attributes suited to live events such as outdoor concerts where soundstage, transparency and detail trumps directionality.

The quality is what most are looking for at a lower price point in comparison to Rode. Only complaint in the product physically is the power switch. W/o breaking the item down not much you can do to ensure the mic is on a side from shoot the segment and hope it caught it. The light on the mic button doesn’t work so you don’t know for certain that it’s on. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8806802-takstar-sgc-698-photography-interview-mic-microphone-for-nikon-canon](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8806802-takstar-sgc-698-photography-interview-mic-microphone-for-nikon-canon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
