Dario, I purchased the RODE VideoMic that is show in all the images from Pentax re: video recording. It works great, but the formed mic muffler that covers it from the factory is only good for indoor use. You have to spend a few bucks more for a proper wind attenuating cover, the ones that look like a shaggy dogs tail. They just slip over the existing attenuator, and are tied in place with a little string noose.
