Juan Pablo,

not the 418S, but I've used similar mics in the past. They are 
intended for mobile video recording as they give a good mono signal 
and provide the requirement of stereo in one mic body, but the mono is 
narrow and the stereo is virtually 360 degrees which is not good news 
for field recording.

What happens with TV video shooting is that the S signal is usually 
faded down in practice. The majority of the sound is out of phase and 
the stereo image placement is poor. It will work well in a controlled 
situation such as a studio, but may be a disappointment outdoors with 
"surround noise".
