 Quality Product September 1, 2010

Excellent build quality, sensational sound quality for video with 3.5mm jack. Very happy, especially with the tele (shotgun) mode. Typically with automatic gain control, you notice extraneous noise, but this mic has stayed very clean in all of my taping thus far.

I bought two ATR 6550 beginning of April. One of them failed already due to a broken solder joint in side the mic. Poor quality.
Excellent Value, good performance April 13, 2010

I've used this mic on three different types of shoots so far and it's performance is pretty impressive for the price. Of course if you are an audiophile and you are comparing this to a top of the line $1600 sennheiser I'm sure you will find plenty of things to gripe about, but if you are looking for an affordable, immediate step up from your on camera mic, this works great.
I shot a scene in front of a courthouse a few days ago, and there were so many buses going by that I ended up screaming out most of the dialogue - it was a little bit deafening. The performance of the mic on its regular mode was OK, but on telephoto mode it completely blocked out the sound of the buses (which were behind the camera).
Later that same day I followed a guy around on a busy street at night while he was performing some magic, and the sound (also on telephoto) was really good. I was far enough back with the camera that I couldn't hear a lot of what he was saying, but the mic picked it up - clean, good volume, and intelligible.
Two warnings, make sure the mic wire is not touching anything or bumps into anything because it will get picked up on your audio. And if you are in a slightly loud environment use the telephoto. In fact, I'm sticking with the telephoto permanently for now on. I'm leaving 4 stars because I have only used the mic a few times and I don't know how it will hold up, but so far I am very happy with my purchase.
ATR6550 is the mic to buy for easy, good quality! March 26, 2010
