    I bought this mic about a month ago, and since then I've recorded several acoustic guitar and drum tracks with it. It has a very clean and precise sound, and works very well recording and when run through a mixer. It sounded very crisp on the hi-hat, and worked well on an acoustic when micing either the 12th fret, or put 3 feet away and 4 feet high as an ambient effect. overall great mic, you won't be disappointed by buying one.

    The third photo shows what looks like a shock mount as an accessory… However, the video only mentions the basic clip also shown. Is there also a shock mount clip included?
