Audio‑Technica ATR6550 Shotgun Microphone — Long‑Barrel Design, Dual‑Mode Pickup, Great for Video & Field Use

The Audio‑Technica ATR6550 is a lightweight, dual‑mode shotgun microphone designed for creators who want focused, directional audio without spending a lot. Its long barrel gives it the classic “pro shotgun” look, while the Normal and Tele modes let you adapt quickly to different shooting environments — interviews, outdoor capture, student filmmaking, or hobby video work.

This unit is fully tested and in good working condition. Both pickup modes function properly, and the mic delivers clean, usable audio when powered. It’s an ideal upgrade from built‑in camera mics and a great addition to budget field kits.
