I don't own one so I will respond without bias. My recording money
went to other things.
1. Most mics were designed for applications close to a sound source
that is loud. For many types of nature recording we look for and find
mics that have a very low self noise so that we can crank up the
sensitivity without hearing a ton of hiss and the like. This mic is
very quiet and it is not as expensive as other mics at these noise specs.
2. Anything where you want to record or capture very quiet things.=20
Such as streams, rivers, wind, thunder, rain etc. And yes recording
thunder is considered recording quiet things even though there are
loud events. It is sort of like taking photos into the sun.
3. Takes two of the critters to record in stereo and four of the
critters to record 5.1 surround.
