The product description correctly identifies this as a holder for a shotgun microphone. Although this is a perfectly fine microphone holder, no microphone is included with this product. <br /> Amazon has omitted the crucial word “holder” from the product name: “Azden SMH-1 Shotgun Microphone with Shoe Mount”.

It's a shock-mount, but if you hit the camera, it's still gonna hear it. It does isolate it from the motor noises of the camera though. Hey, this thing holds a shotgun mic.

If you absolutely need to point it in a certain direction, buy another mount. Otherwise, get this one. While this mount does not allow tilting up and down like some models, it still holds it.

In that regard, I like. But for what it is, the price ought to be about $15! Works better than my two previous solutions for holding a shot gun mic on my video camera. In that regard, I like.

Why would it cost that much? The answer lies in the difference between using a sensitive shotgun mic (isn't that the whole idea?) on your camera with and without the shock mount. <br /> <br />Without it what sounds like a blender set on puree hammers away at your precious footage while you're left to scratch your head in puzzlement at what went wrong. You didn't hear that extraneous noise derived from the transport mechanism of your camera. With the shock mount you get just what you filmed: your shot and nothing but the shot. <br /> <br />Yes, it's worth it.
