I have a lapel microphone that I thought made a small difference, and this one, which I think sounds MUCH better to my ears. Much less echo, and much better sound. ! I have wanted a shotgun mic for a long time, but couldn't afford the price of one.. I am pleased with this, and especially for the price. You can listen to the video and decide which you prefer. I am using a Canon 70D, and have left the sound levels in Auto for this. ### ⭐⭐ Works best for an unintended purpose *by T***P on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019* Update: I did some testing, set the input on my recorder to normal levels and found that this mic has a tremendous amount of electrical noise in the circuit. It's so obvious that it can't be used for anything other than a toy. Sorry Pixel, but I had to downgrade my review.I didn't have a lot of faith in short-tube "shotgun" mics. So my expectations were low. Usually cheapo direction mics have nasty high end and no low end, and an interference tube that's just for decoration. (It's also a joke how many of them have a low cut filter that does nothing since the cartridge can't even reproduce the sounds that would reach the filter.) Surprisingly, though, this mic has usable audio--but not in an expected way.First, it's useless as a dialog mic as suggested by the product photos. The response of the mic doesn't have enough presence in the areas were good vocal mics have it. Pro shotgun mics such as the Sennheiser Mk416 or the Rode NTG3 have a broad hump in the areas were consonants are heard. Far from flat and neutral, these type of mics deliver crisp and intelligible audio for dialog. The MC550 is flatter and has more bass. The MC550 is also NOT sensitive at all. You have to be less than 1 meter from it to move the bars. Hilariously, it includes a -10 dB pad, just in case you want to be not heard at all.But you know what it does well? Be a close-up voice mic in a noisy environment. It's pretty directional, and it sounds like a dynamic cardioid. I use a lapel mic for voice-overs on portable equipment, but they're generally omni. The MC550's lack of sensitivity will be its strength. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly Very Good for the Price *by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2019* I wanted a shotgun microphone for my Canon Vixia camcorder but didn't want to spend more than the camera cost. I purchased this MC-550 microphone and found it to be just right for my needs. It has a -10db switch with a low cut filter that did a decent job blocking out excess noise. The quality of the sound was pretty good. The cord is very generous, in fact, to the extent that I have quite a lot of excess when it's connected to my camera. I can see other uses where the length will come in handy. There is a sound sensitivity feature which is a bonus. I also like that it uses one AAA battery. My rating takes into account the price. When compared to another fairly expensive model, the sound is not as deep and rich and the noise reduction is not as good, but for the price, this microphone far exceeded my expectations and does everything I wanted it to do with excellent results. --- ## 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/99555240-pixel-mc550-camera-microphone-directional-shotgun-video-mic-for-camcorder](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/99555240-pixel-mc550-camera-microphone-directional-shotgun-video-mic-for-camcorder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
