Any good? Sony ECM-CQP1 Uni-directional 4 Channel Microphone
 

Now that I'm thinking about the HDR-HC1 I noticed that SONY made it difficult to use the Rode videomike unless an attachment is used.

Of the SONY mikes, is any of them conmpetitive with the RODE?

ONe that caught my eye was this one:
Sony ECM-CQP1 Uni-directional 4 Channel Microphone

Any thoughts on it? or is the hassle of the attachment worth thee quality of the videomike?

thank you
