    This is a lightweight mic, reasonably priced. The sound doesn't pick up as clearly as hoped. So it's rated as ok...not the quality we had hoped for though.

    Bought to film a small nonprofit promo video. Worked great for an interview better than the built in Mic on camera.

    The mic does a great job for the money. There are better ones but you will have to spend a lot more!

    Purchased this mic because I needed a mic quick.. it provides a decent sound.. almost sounds like what you are recording is in a can, sounds like abit of echo is caused.. definitely not at par with rode mics but still an ok mic

    Did not fit camera, had to exchange for correct item. Please make sure they check mic or accessory’s before you purchase, to save yourself a trip back to purchase another.

    this mic was really well reviewed but it was a letdown. We tried doing an interview with this and the in camera mic of the canon M50 and the difference was negligible. In fact almost everyone liked the audio from the m50 mic better. odd. maybe it was a bad unit?

    I was in a hurry and I bought this Mic, I wasn't expecting a SURE or RODE quality but it was worst that i believe. Not the best option around!
