This is a Victor MZ-200 microphone. I used to connect it to a video camera. I haven't used it for many years, so I checked it by connecting it to a home video camera. It picked up sound properly. It requires one AA battery to use. There are no noticeable scratches. The microphone and cord are one piece. The microphone cord is approximately 235cm long. The weight is approximately 148g for the microphone and cord, and approximately 234g with the handle attached. Thank you.
