Amazon.com Product Description:
Sony's ECM-MS908C is a quality stereo microphone for your video camcorder. Coming with the microphone are a shoe attachment and extension arm, making it ready to plug-and-record. The one-point stereo design matches many stereo camcorder formats, although it is essential you check for compatibility. This one-point stereo design microphone delivers stereo sound with a single mic.

A key feature of this microphone are the mid/side (MS) capsules. The mid capsule picks up monophonic sound while the side capsule picks up left/right difference sound. By subtracting and adding the two capsule signals you can achieve left and right channels, thus stereo sound. The MS capsules also allow you to vary the pick-up from the left and right channels according to camera zoom, weather and setting, and the shooting situation. Choose 90 degrees for close-ups and noisy recording situations and choose 120 degrees for wide shots and quiet environments. With these sort of options, you are sure to capture superb sound quality.

The included oxygen-free copper (OFC) Litz cord provides minimum loss and minimum noise disruption. The gold-plated plug gives the mic maximum conductivity and, like the Litz cord, minimum noise disruption. To further enhance your audio recordings, Sony has also included a windscreen.

This video microphone is for advanced amateur use. The stereo sound takes advantage of the two-channel sound tracks on many of today's top video recorders: DV, Digital8, Hi8, 8mm, VHS, S-VHS and VHS-C formats. Make sure you check your camcorder for proper compatibility

Rating : - Great low end Mic for Mid Consumer Camcorder
I tried several mics and finally came across this one which works perfectly on my Cannon HV20 Consumer camcorder. It comes with an extension arm to reduce the the occasional tape or motor noise heard while recording with the built in mics. However even with using the camcorders hot foot it works very well as well. The hot foot DOES NOT supply power to the Mic though, it is just used to mount the mic...;). Excellent low end mic for this camcorder...
