Rycote makes some of the best mic accessories in the business, and a rycote shockmount is included. Additionally, the handy TRS to TRRS cable means you can use the mic not only with video cameras and DSLR, but with compatible smartphones as well.

The highly directional supercardioid polar pattern will help tamp down unwanted room noise and ambience, doing so better than traditional cardioid polar patterns.
