I love my new mic, it's better than I thought it would be features wise (though I admit I didn't research the features before buying...this mic was highly rated as the best budget mic from multiple sites so that's why I bought it). I don't consider the mic light weight but that's a good thing in my eyes. The weight specks to the quality of this mic versus the one I was using before that's lightweight but audio quality sucks especially for really high pitched sounds which didn't register at all. This mic is an A+ for me
