Panasonic AG-MC200G Super-Directional Camera Mountable Shotgun Microphone
The Panasonic AG-MC200G is a camera mounted condenser microphone with superior directional characteristics than that of standard unidirectional microphones. The focused pickup of the AG-MC200G eliminates audio at the sides of the microphone, greatly reducing ambiance and potential feedback problems. The AG-MC200G uses +48V phantom power and features a standard XLR output. The microphone is ideal for camera use, as well as portable recording devices and field mixers.
- Super-directional Pick Up
- The super-directional characteristic of the AG-MC200G rivals standard unidirectional microphones. The AG-MC200G is ideal for isolating signal in high noise environments.
- Balanced Output
- The balanced 3-pin XLR output provides high signal gain and low noise floor.
- Stabilized Power Supply Circuit
- The AG-MC200G uses standard +48v phantom power.

Comments about Panasonic AG-MC200G Camera Mountable Shotgun Microphone:
I use this mic to shoot adventure and sports documentaries as well as commercials. It works better outdoors than indoors, however, as it picks up a lot of sound (including and not limited to very very low electrical sounds at times). This just means you have to play with levels a bit or directionality. Overall, very powerful and especially good with a wind jammer on.

Comments about Panasonic AG-MC200G Camera Mountable Shotgun Microphone:
I use the mic on a Panasonic AF-100
For automotive events, interviews and shorts...
Plug n play, with easy adjustments while on the AF-100
Very simple to run the wire, mount the mic and first recording was right on point..
Cable was a hair long for my use, but I just looped it once around a Sony Wireless Mic pack mounted on the side of the camera and into the XLR input, ad that worked well.

Comments about Panasonic AG-MC200G Camera Mountable Shotgun Microphone:
This mic is a perfect match for my HVX-200.
Mounts on the camera nicely, with furnished hardware from the camera. I found the sound quality excellent for field use, and works nicely on a boom as well. Perhaps its only weakness is the isolation mounting when on the camera. The camera mounting is nice, but if I touch the mic, the isolation rubber feels loose. This minor quibble aside, the mic is an excellent choice for the HVX series cameras, or any other camera that can supply phantom voltage and an XLR connection.

Comments about Panasonic AG-MC200G Camera Mountable Shotgun Microphone:
The AG-MC200G is a superb on-camera microphone. It is very directional and allows focusing in on conversations with minimal side pick-up.
I have used it primarily in wedding applications, where noice is always prevalent. It works well for reception audio and even in interview applications when boom mounted. The windscreen is very effective in outdoor environments and it is very sensitive. Use the manual camera settings for best results as automatic gain can lead to distortion.

Comments about Panasonic AG-MC200G Camera Mountable Shotgun Microphone:
I bought this for my AG-HMC150, and it is awesome. In loud environments (like a wedding), it is still possible to hear what people are saying in front of the camera. It can handle a very loud SPL. I recommend it. The only downside is it is pricey, but you get what you pay for.
