Documentary filmmaker, Griffin Hammond, recently made a video about our new SGM-250CX Compact Cine Microphone. He put it up against his long-owned Rode NTG-3 microphone, which retails for 3 times as much, and found the sound quality to be pretty much equal. But don’t just take his word for it. Check out the video. Can you hear a $500 difference? Aside from the terrific sound quality and value, other features of the SGM-250CX such as its compact size, excellent side-rejection, attached XLR cable and included shock mount, make it a great choice for on-camera mounting with mirrorless cameras, like the Panasonic GH5, or cinema cameras like the Sony FS7, BlackMagic Ursa Mini or the Panasonic EVA1.
