Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Reality TV Formats

I am using the EX3 on a fairly regular basis, and this is correct. It's
plastic and cheap. The controls are cheap and not robust at all. My
assistant broke the shot gun mike off of ours last week.

That said, at less than $8k US street price, it can be almost disposable
for something like this.
