Sennheiser MKE 200 On-Camera Microphone

If your camera's built-in microphone is letting down your video, the Sennheiser MKE 200 is the straightforward fix. It mounts directly on your camera's cold shoe, plugs into the 3.5mm input via a locking jack, and immediately delivers dramatically cleaner, more directional audio — no batteries, no complicated setup, no separate recorder needed.

The supercardioid capsule focuses on what's in front of the camera and rejects noise from the sides — so your subject sounds clear even in busy, noisy environments. The integrated foam windscreen handles everyday outdoor use, and the included furry windshield accessory provides maximum wind protection for more exposed locations. The internal suspension mount isolates the microphone from camera handling noise and vibration. At 48g it adds virtually nothing to your rig.

The compact 48g design and internal shock mount also make it a practical choice for gimbal rigs, where weight and vibration rejection both matter — a combination few on-camera microphones at this price point can match.

Compatible with DSLR and mirrorless cameras via the included 3.5mm TRS coiled cable (CL 35), and with smartphones and mobile devices via the included 3.5mm TRS to TRRS coiled cable. Powered directly from the camera's plug-in power (2–10V) — no battery required.

Trusted Sennheiser audio quality in a compact, accessible package — a natural first step for content creators, vloggers, and filmmakers who want professional sound without professional complexity.
