Found a better picture that uses the same mount as in the video - it's definitely the 441 U:

Wow.  Thanks!  Mics are judged by how the sound....but that is a great looking mic as well.

The MD 441 is a great vocal mic.

Elton John used to use it as well:-

I bought my own 441 s/h back in the late 1970s  ;D

And it's still a current mic.  :laugh:

Folks, you are missing the question.

It's name is George.

And yes the Sennheiser 441 is a sweet, sweet mic.
