Am I the only one that is disappointed by this mic? I spent like $200 for it and it looks great, makes the cam look professional and the sound quality is pretty good..

BUT I noticed it records all sorts of hand movement + any small shaking of the cam which results in a strange "drummy" noise (like wind) .. the sound track is totally damaged by this. This is noticeable especially when recording in a silent room.

Here is a sample of what I mean:

(listen to the noise when then they dont talk)

IMO the problem is that the "hot shoe" (HF 200) is located in the back of the body and not in the front + the mic is not fixated rigidly to the body, but it has the vibration absorber which allows it to shake and records the strange noise..

I cant use the shotgun mode as I need stereo and I already tried to lower the microphone loudness level to around -12 which is a lot.
