I was looking to boost the audio quality on my HV20 and at first this seemed to do the job very well and the audio quality was outstanding. It had a full sound with no clipping or hiss.

The second time I used it my recording was interrupted several times with RF interference from a cell phone. If you have ever heard your cell phone on your PC speakers before it rings you know the sound it makes. The mic was mounted on top the camera which was about 5′ up on a tripod. The closest cell phone was at least 3 feet away in someone’s pocket or purse.

The body is metal (feels like aluminum) but the front grill is plastic. The mounting bracket fit well in my camera shoe and the rubber legs worked well to isolate the mic from motor noise. I wish it had and LED to indicate power on (should be on cable end). The cable is solid into the mic body so be careful not to crush the cable where it comes out of the back of the mic.
