If using it to film, does it capture too much background noise? Can it be used as directional mic, like one would use on a boom?

Yes, it can be used with other mic. Remember an adapter from XLR to miniJack if your mic plug is XLR. With a good mic there is no noise.

yes to both questions, it has a mic jack that you can plug the directional mic into and as for the backgroundnoise go to the filter settings and set to the percent you desire filtered out mine goes up to 40 percent of the low end noise I use it for live recordings all the time at church setting in the pew and I can cut out the movement around me.

In my opinion it is too sensitive for live performance without feedback being an issue. It is more appropriate for recording in a studio environment. Just my opinion, it may work for you.

It should work for a Microphone, assuming you have a holder for the Mic that fits the 1/4" camera fitting. The other thing to be aware of is that a heavy Mic will need a larger counter balance or the unit will tip over. The Mic cords can easily be tied to the boom with cable ties,or Velcro straps to keep them out of the way.

I'm not sure what you mean by the boom mic, however, any mic with the three pin jack would work as i did in my case. I use both a cordless and a regular corded mic. Hope this helps.

My experience is that it is a great recording mic. It was not meant for live performances as the design is sensitive to movement hence the rubber suspension holding mechanism to reduce vibrations. Good Luck.

I'm no professional but I believe the built-in mic(5.1ch) is superior to the directional(2.1ch?) that is included in this kit.During my first few times with the rig on the camera I found myself forgetting to turn on the external mic while it was plugged into the camera, resulting in no audio for those video recordings. Don't plan on using it for everyday recording and only if I need its directional capabilities.

I used this to pick up vocals however it was pretty good at picking up ambient noise pretty well. I would say it would depend on how close you play the instrument to the microphone. Over all I say it's worth a shot, a condenser mic (which is used for professional studio recording) can go up in price and if you're not that worried about super crisp quality I would definitely pick this up.

Yes. If you want a quality stereo sound, this mic will handle it. Most folks think they need a shotgun mic to record at a distance, but anytime you have high sound levels (car races, concerts), this microphone will give quality audio. Set your audio levels in your camera.

I've only used it to make one recording to test the sound and it seemed to work well enough for that, although I am not sure how much background noise it would pick up if you are in a noise environment, since I don't think it has any kind of noise cancellation-type anything.

Depends how loud you are talking about, this type of mic has narrow pick up pattern, but if put it too close to the source of noise, it probably will have some minimal effect on it.

This would be excellent for that purpose it picks up sound in an omni directional pattern and is extremely sensitive.You will need a phantom power source for this active mic.

It would if you mount it on a boom. This is the worse on-camera microphone I've ever bought, and of course I returned it. You would do best to get a boom and mic for 18 feet, otherwise you will be picking up so much ambient noise that you will never be able to filter the noise out with any software.

This mic is highly directional. Therefore it does not pick up as much extraneous sound (i.e. mouse clicks, fan noises, etc). The downside is that you must speak right into it. I work about five inches away form it and find it a bit quieter than my Blue Yeti. Sound quality is very good.

It picks up a lot of background noise sometimes. Its really sensitive. It is a directional microphone, so its designed to pick up sounds from what's in front of it, if you set it up right in front of your desktop or keyboard, facing you, it won't pick up sounds behind it as much as if you were to turn the mic off the the sideways or something, if that makes sense? So there are ways to avoid it picking up unnecessary background noises.

Well It depends what kind of result you are expecting, I can say that this device work fairly well, Having this said I would not use this one if i was using a better mic for the rest of my film, the quality can be very different between a pricey Mic and this one, I hope this helps

No it dont.It's Omni directional so it will pick up some sounds around you. But it is a wonderful lav mic.I use it to do instructional videos on health segments. I use it for interviews and reporting stories. Fantastic set. Sound really good. How that helps.

Yes.... Its going to be difficult to avoid ambient noise unless you can set up backdrops and wind socks to absorb some of the extraneous sounds. This is a great mic. You can try using lavalier mics, use wind socks etc and should help a lot
