A quick unboxing video for my Sennheiser MKH 416 shotgun microphone. Widely reputed to be the industry standard shotgun microphone for sound recordists in the film, TV and video industries; this mic is also extremely popular with voice over artists, who enjoy the MKH416's low-end sonic characteristics when exploiting the proximity effect. Almost regarded as a must-have item of equipment for anyone serious about film making, video production, and sound recording, the Sennheiser MKH416 shotgun microphone certainly seems to have set a standard.

So, what do you get for an average UK retail price well in excess of £800? Watch this video to find out.
