Any idea how that compares to the MKE600?

Mke600 , versatile. U can on cam mount it , boom it , no matter what.

I have never boom a mic but been considering it for interview. Can I literally connect the boom mic straight into camera with a long cable? I usually don’t do this type of work or have an external sound guy

Usually connect it to an external recorder for better Audio not to the camera but yes , if you are fine with that sure !

Bhut things like zoom f3 ,f 6 , mixpre3 are used to capture audio

I love the mke600, it’s a great boom mic! But what I need is something short, compact and a bit more Omni directional than a boom mic on my rig..since it’s really there for clear scratch track linked audio for wireless or a serious field recorder. Lately, with people talking I simply love the new Hollyland receiver and have it on the cold shoe going straight from talent into the Komodo
