    I have nothing but the best to say about this seller. They were very responsive to my messages and professional in their replies. I verified that they are an Authorized Nikon Dealer. Shipping was FedEx Overnight and the Z50II and two-lens kit arrived in perfect condition, carefully packaged and cushioned in bubble wrap. I would not hesitate to buy from this seller again and highly recommend them.

    Awesome seller! Answered my questions. Worked on getting the best price for both parties (best offers were welcomed!). Ships fast. May have shipped via Amazon fulfillment but it arrived on time with no problems. Ordered an original Electro Voice branded and packaged microphone foam windscreen. It’s the original brand so it was a high quality product. It arrived quickly in its original brand new condition and packaging. It looks good and works well on the mic. Thanks again! I will come back!

    The packaging and item arrived in good quality (product box slightly damaged but not product). Item looks and arrived as listed, in pristine condition. Product looks great and sleek. The product is built to be durable and ensure that your gear is secured. Definitely worth the value and seller was very good to work with. Overall great experience, and great product.

    Great mic for voiceover if used right

    Great deal on an open box mic. It’s practically brand new. It’s one hell of a mic for voiceover, even though it’s designed for musical instruments. As long as you use it off axis for voice, it can almost pass for an MKH 416. I own a 416! The P170 rejects reverb quite well and avoids the phase cancellation of the mkh 416. However, the p170 is incredibly sensitive to plosives even from a distance. You can’t talk directly into mic AT ALL. The good thing is you don’t have to worry as much about reflective surfaces with this mic. This mic is great for rooms with limited acoustic treatment.

    Poor mans AKG C-451

    I used to own a recording studio and had the big brother AKG C-451 mics. These P170's are very close in sound and build quality. I love these things on drum overheads, acc guitar, and with the 20db pad in on a guitar amp even! Great product. Thanks Harmon for keeping the quality at an incredible price. I need two more! No I don't work for AKG, no this isn't a robot.

    Great instrument microphone.

    Very flat, true response to acoustic instruments. Good background noise rejection. Found to be easy to place and achieve clean recordings.

    it just works

    This microphone just works as well as you need a small diaphragm condenser. Good Frecuency Response, low noise, and it' s versatile for instruments.

    A whole lot of mic for the money

    for the price, this mic, or the equivelant in the mic set the P4, is the most cost effective and qualtiy mic for hi-hats and ride cymbals, as well as overhead applications for drums. you can't find a mic at this price point with its capabilities.
