    Sony ECMCS3 Clip Style Omnidirectional Stereo Microphone, Silver

    • You can't remove the back clip making very difficult to put a dead cat on it
    • When riding my dirt bike, I had to put a wind sock or dead cat over the mic to significantly reduce wind noise
    • I made a pretty hefty dead cat to get rid of excessive wind noise when riding on my motorcycle and it performs superbly.
    • The vibrations from the road, engine, wind (even with a dead cat on it), and even just closing the door in a car will make this mic give a nasty static noise which totally ruins the sound, can't even fix it in post
    • The audio came out insanely good for the price, without having to use one of my friend's very expensive dead cat microphones on a boom
    • Building a "dead cat" microphone anti-wind muff for this mic is kind of a 5-minute ordeal, but once it's done, this is easily one of the best mics I've used
    • Only issue is there's no properly sized dead cat I can find to fit it
    • but I've tried multiple windscreens on the mic, Tetra-Teknica windscreens, felt, and dead cats but the static was still there
    • I'd seen this recommended by several youtubers who get great sound with the same application, but I lost everything to wind noise once I hit about 35 mph, no matter what kind of wind screen or dead cat I fashoned for it
    • The quality of the voice is pretty clear and crisp but not as great as we wanted
    • Another thing that made me choose this was that it didn't have a super long cord as well as it didn't have a built in battery to contend with
    • It works as it is supposed to, but it records at a VERY quiet volume, and boosting its volume is either too loud or too soft
    • It does capture background noise a
