Schoeps MiniCMIT (Rental)

An LSE team favorite. The Schoeps MiniCMIT packs the sound of the legendary CMIT 5 into a body just 151 mm long and 78 g. It gives you the same natural, open tone and smooth off-axis response, so dialogue sounds great indoors, where bigger shotguns get boxy, and holds up just as well outside. It is small and light enough to disappear on a boom, in a car rig or as a plant mic.
