Azden SGM-250 Overview

From Manufacturer

The Azden SGM-250 is a shotgun microphone that can be powered via one AA battery or phantom power for use with DSLR/mirrorless cameras (with an XLR to 3.5mm adapter cable) and professional cameras or recorders (with an XLR cable). Specifically tuned to preserve the natural qualities of a speaking subject, the mic provides video creators with a cost-effective solution for mobile journalism, run & gun, and documentary applications.

The SGM-250 features a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and a two-step low-cut filter. The mic is built with a rugged all-metal barrel and has tightly spaced vertical slots along the tip to provide side and rear rejection. In addition to the dual-power design, a status LED indicator is provided to monitor the AA battery (1.5V) or phantom (48V) power source.

The mic includes a gold-plated XLR output, and comes with a shock-mount holder, a foam windshield, and a zippered carrying case.

question

Hi, does this shotgun mic work with the canon c100? Thanks!
Asked by: Anonymous
I use it with a Canon XF 100, which is quite close to the C100, and does a great job. No need to put it on its own battery power, select phantom power from the camera.

What are the measurements of this mic? Looking to buy the Auray shock mount.
Asked by: Michael
With the shotgun-boom (long) attachment, it is just as the specs dimensions say on this page: 9.8 x 0.8" (And I just measured with a tape measure and they are correct).
