Nikon ME-D10 Shotgun Microphone

I was nervous about handling loud audio spikes during a shoot, but the built-in shock mount completely eliminated handling noise and the 32-bit float saved my outdoor recording from clipping. It's so compact I barely notice it on my camera.

The 32-bit float recording is a lifesaver for outdoor shoots where levels can change suddenly. Even in a slight wind, the built-in shock mount keeps the audio clean without any rumbling.

I was worried about having to deal with batteries on shoots, so the fact that this runs without any is perfect. The built-in shock mount also does a great job isolating handling noise.
