Audio Technica AT99 Series?

[JacePhoto]

I just came across these products today. Apparently they were introduced last quarter of 2013. Does anyone has any experience with these? I cant find a single (English) review anywhere on google or youtube.

I saw these mini-mics at the AT booth at Broadcast Asia. On display was a shotgun mono version and a stereo version. Very tiny - about the size of a Senny MKE400 but doesn't require any battery.
I did not do any tests as I didn't bring a camera. But likely have the same limitations as the Rode Go.(ie hiss at higher gain levels)
RedDot should be bringing them in :

Listen to the traffic noise using a shotgun vs a stereo mic. You'd be surprised

Interesting, very low profile.
Yeah, only chinese and japanese markets seem to be mentioning it.

Here's a translated Japanese review with audio/video samples: http://bit.ly/1oOmTAW
