I just have bought this mic, haven't used it much yet thou so can't say anything about sound quality. When I first opened package and examined the mic I was surprised how cheaply build it looked. For example, the light pipe for power led wasn't on its right place which is often typical to cheap made in China products but shouldn't be for this kind of "non-China" product. Ofcourse it doesn't affect sound quality, but still - cheaply build is cheaply build (or badly designed).
I don't know if there's something wrong with my mic, but it has a LOT of noise. Even if I'm in a quiet room, the noise level of the room tone is extremely high.
@Nurds1231 No, the D3100 doesnt have an external mic input.

Any ideas what might be wrong?
