The ATR6550X Condenser Shotgun Microphone from Audio-Technica is an economical mic designed for use with video cameras. The ATR6550X features two modes: Normal for close and medium distance recording and Telae for long-distance recording. Normal gives you a cardioid polar pattern, and Telae switches the mic into a supercardioid polar pattern that rejects more off-axis sound. The mic comes with a permanently attached 3.5mm connector plug/cable and a number of useful accessories, such as a camera mount, a stand clamp, a battery, and a foam windscreen.
