Hi Dai,
Yes, your new mic is great. It is much clearer and less noisy. I don't know where you record your videos, but the acoustic is slightly reverberant. You can fix this with a bit of sound deadening, probably fitted to the wall behind you, but it depends on the room. This stops reflected sound being received by the mic and would make the sound even better, but hey, a great improvement anyway. BTW, thanks for the videos, they are really useful!
