Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Mic on Kodak Zi8 Pocket HD Videocamera

Sound test of Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Mic on Kodak Zi8 Pocket HD Videocamera. 

- Kodak Zi8 Internal Mic 

- Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Mic - Normal (-) 

- Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Mic - High (+) 

In this video is used a tripod to hold the Kodak Zi8 and a Monopod to hold the Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Mic. 

You can also use a bracket to hold the camera, mic and optional light. 

The Zi8 has a great mic at close distances, for times when the speaker is further away, or when you want to capture audio from more than one person at a time, the Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Mic is a good choice. It's also much more compact thatn the comparable Rode Video Mic. 

For more information on how to put video on the web, visit the site for my book, Get Seen: Online Video Secrets.  I've also got an Amazon Store (affiliate link) that makes it easy to find these things.
