Comments about Sennheiser ME66/K6P - Super-Cardioid Short Shotgun Condenser Microphone Capsule with K6P (Phantom Only) Power Supply:
I've used this mic on-camera and on a boom and I've been very happy with it--Very lightweight and sound quality rivals a MK 416. Not quite as full and rich, but as always, you get what you pay for. Great for inteviews. I like the price-point on the mic and it's efficiency. I also like the built-in phantom power--great battery life. Good, rugged build, nice directional coverage. On-camera with DSLR video, a huge step up from your basic Rode Videomic. Also works very well with the Zoom H4N. Hard not to like this mic--does it's job well.

Comments about Sennheiser ME66/K6P - Super-Cardioid Short Shotgun Condenser Microphone Capsule with K6P (Phantom Only) Power Supply:
I use this for shooting documentaries and it works great for interviews. I have good results even in loud ambient situations.
On the downside:
It does come with a price-tag but worth it.
It's fairly long so mount it correctly. I've had to use electrical tape to keep it in place. Be careful at wide angle so it doesn't end up in shot.
Uses phantom power so if your camera or audio capture device has phantom great! Other wise you need a AA battery. The battery light is kinda hard to see so when I've used a battery I always had an earpiece in to make sure it was working. Also has on/off for battery you must remember to turn on.
Downside are not really bad but just a few tips I recommend with an otherwise good investment.
I've traveled in wet jungles and very cold weather and mic has held up nicely.
Also recommend getting the windscreen.
Hope this helps.
