In assembling the kit, where does the battery go? It came without instructions.
Grip your hands around the top and lower portions of the microphone and twist the bottom portion to the left to unscrew the bottom portion and expose the battery compartment. Install the battery and then screw the bottom back onto the mic. Slide the power button on, and a red light will appear to signify that the mic is powered.

question
What do you think is better quality mic, price is olmost the same: this mic or the rode mic go on camera ?http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1012003-REG/rode_videomic_go_videomic_go_on_camera_shotgun.html
The Rode VideoMic Pro is my recommendation as a better performer with a more robust build quality. Note the 10 year warranty as well.

question
How does this mic compare to the Rode VideoMicro ($59)?On a boom pole and mounted on the camera?
The XM-55 is a traditional shotgun mic with higher directionality than the VideoMicro. Will be compatible with more devices as it is able to be battery powered, and will ship with mounting hardware and cables to connect to most cameras and recorders.

question
what does the 3rd position of the on/off switch do?
The XM 55 switch, in addition to power offers a low cut filter setting. This setting will reduce the low frequency information received by the mic and is effective in reducing some low frequency room noise such as AC rumble, light wind and popping P sounds from speech.

question
Would I be better off using the tascam Dr 40 on a shockmount or is this mic better for short films and event recording
The Vidpro XM-55 is best suited for capturing dialogue. The Tascam Dr-40 features a stereo mic, so is better for picking up bigger areas and ambient audio. Either items would work for you, based on your specific needs.

Are there two types of Xm - 55 mics? Because I see some with a low cut filter and others with the red light... Are they the same mic?
The product we are offering is the genuine article from Vidpro which includes the red operating LED and the sensitivity switch.
