Vidpro XM-55 Overview

The Vidpro XM-55 is a battery-powered shotgun microphone with a complete bundle of accessories designed for indoor and outdoor recording with HDSLRs, camcorders, field recorders, handheld recorders, and more. The supercardioid polar pattern yields enhanced off-axis signal rejection and focused frontal pickup while the 100 Hz to 16 kHz frequency response provides tonality tailored for intelligible voice reproduction.

The XM-55 includes an adjustable shockmount, a stand mount, and thread adapters to accommodate mounting to a mic stand, boompole, tripod, or camera shoe. It also includes a furry windshield for outdoor shoots, a foam windscreen for indoor recording, and a cushioned hand grip for convenient handheld operation.

A single AA battery (included) powers the XM-55, so no phantom power is required. Thanks to the supplied cables and jack adapter, the mic's XLR output can be connected to devices equipped with XLR, 3.5mm, or 1/4" inputs. The foam-padded hardshell case enables safe and easy transport between gigs.

Everything I expected

The shotgun mic is exactly what I wanted. It was packaged well. B&H has always prompt with orders. They have never disappointed me.

Excellent value

I've only used this a couple of times so far but it performs well. Good directional pickup with substantial rolloff outside of the main pickup cone. The sound quality even from 10 feet away is very good...solid presence. We normally have lavs on actors but for a small shoot with little movement, I'd feel comfortable with just this mic for pickup. The only reason it isn't a 5 star from me is that the case is so jammed with things (all nice to have and a great addition to the kit) that it's practically impossible to get it all repacked. There's plenty of foam padding but a little more space would a really good mic a lot less frustrating at the end of the day.
