It's made well enough & does what a general microphone should do...HOWEVER...my reason for purchase was to get rid of the autofocus-motor noise in my video recording (on a D7000). Since the recording field of this mike is a general/uni-directional pattern (more or less), any camera noise audible to your ears is still highly-audible on your recordings. The internal mics on the D7000 are good (and certainly comparable to what the ME-1 is, minus the low-cut filter & wind noise filter), so if your reason for buying this mic was like mine, I do not recommend purchasing the ME-1. To its credit, Nikon does say that the ME-1 helps reduce af-motor noise. They don't claim it will be eliminated. Perhaps this is true, technically. But, I suspect I'd want a mic I could hold farther away from the camera or a mic with a recording pattern that's much more forward (even then I have my doubts...). Anyway, this review is the one I wish I'd read before purchase -so I hope it's helpful to you!
