Who uses it
The creators running this microphone / audio
Linus Tech Tips
Film-standard supercardioid condenser used on the main LTT set, confirmed by Linus at the 1:53 mark during Gerald Undone's walkthrough. The MKH 50 is a studio boom mic — it sits off-camera on a fixed boom arm, not on the camera itself.

Tom Buck
A broadcast/film super-cardioid lavalier-class mic, listed under his 'Broadcast Quality' tier. It's the same top-shelf mic James Cross Jr also reaches for — and just like Cross, Tom flags it as out of reach for most beginners.
