    This microphone does an outstanding job acquiring accurate sound and avoiding wind noise. I use it on the back of my car to capture the exhaust sound.

    I needed a boom microphone last minute for a video I was planning on recording. This was exactly what I could picture in my mind before I got to the store. The microphone sets up very easily and I was able to use it right away with consulting the instructions. Comes with a nice bag that fit perfectly in my camera bag.

    I got a good deal when I bought this, I think under $50. For the price you can’t beat that. The sound quality it captures is actually pretty good if you’re looking to get started using a lower-end camera mic. I’ve had this for almost 2 months now, no complaints so far!

    Bought this to upgrade our audio on our rebel sl2. My wife video blogs and I wanted it for our home videos. I read mixed reviews about the wind cutting thru it and motor noises. I haven’t heard either. I recorded a spacex launch with this mic and zoomed frequently. Crystal clear audio. All in all, great mic

    I thought this would have sounded much better than the camera mic. It was a little better. If you want quality sound, you have to pay to get it.
