What mic is this?

Picks up everything really well. Think they are using room mics too? I don't see any in the long shot. https://www.youtube.com/v=wqWBth_rLgw

Not sure on the mic, though.

The video was posted by state of N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, so the mic may be part of the state's A/V gear.
Looks pretty old.

It's a Neumann KMS84i

If you unscrew the basket, there's what looks like the top third of a KM84, with it's capsule inside the head of the mic.

It's getting on in age now but still a really nice vocal mic which also works on most things that a KM84 works on. The head basket changes the sound a bit from a KM84i but gives some useful blast protection. It's successor was the KMS140 which was also a good mic, replaced by the cheaper (and still current) KMS104. (The KMS105 is the hypercardioid version.)

KM84i's were nice mics.  Ran those with CHecht back in the day.

If the gaffer's tape was covering a pair of slide switches, this is a KMS 84--otherwise it's a KMS 85 (an earlier, short-lived model that looked the same, apart from the switches and the variously-colored screens that were available for the 84).

Sorry I didn't recognize this sooner. It's "from my time" but not a model that I ever worked with.

Motherfuck yes. I never used them personally for a 2tk live recording but in the studio those were monstrous on acoustic instruments.
Pockets full of nickels and nothing left to eat, and I'm stuck behind a semi on Soniat Street.
