The Panasonic VW-VMH3 is a compact stereo and shotgun microphone designed specifically for use with the Panasonic GS200 and GS400 line of CCD cameras. The VW-VMH3 features a hot-shoe, which establishes audio and power connection without additional cables, connectors or batteries.
The microphone's "zoom", "tele" and "wide" modes are accessed with a toggle switch on the rear of the microphone. "Wide" mode establishes a pick up of a wide stereo field, "zoom" and "tele" modes minimize off-axis noise, resulting in a more focused pick up and greater overall range. The compact VW-VMH3 weighs only 2.5 oz and is a great improvement to the microphone included with the camera.
