Polsen SMS-45A mic review on Panasonic HC-X920

The Panasonic HC-X920 consumer camera is pretty nice with a 3 chip sensor (3MOS). The onboard microphone is not worth much. Some professionals suggest the RODE NTG2 as the companion mic. Others recommend other expensive mics. Here, I try out the Chinese made, Polsen. It is not bad. The specs are:
Stereo, Frequency response 50hz - 18khz, sensitivity 45db, SN 60db, low frequency roll off 80hz, power requirement button battery or 2-10 v dc plug in power. weight 3.2 oz

I got this at B&Hphotovideo for $60. As I show in the video, the only part that is not made well is the locking nut for the shoe mount. IT is very lose on the threads.

Check this out on a very windy day at the Clearwater Beach. the wind was blowing 25-30mph. I had a home made dead cat on the mic. https://youtu.be/VLbC5lePckU

Please leave a comment if you have a suggestion for a mic in the under 100 range.
