This mic have a nice alimunim construction, it feel really solid.

The included mount is acceptable for low gain recordings, but for higher gain recordings, a shockmount is needed.

It does not include a shockmount, and a compatible shockmount cost too much comparing to the microphone's price, the better is just buying an universal shockmount.

The sound is not that special, it does a good job in voice and acoustic instruments, but its best spot is recording speach.

This microphone have a foam protection working as a built-in pop filter: This is good for amateur recording, so they do not need to worry about windscreens or pop filters, But, i other hand, It's bad, because the sound loose some detail in acoustic instruments recordings.
