    My wife does amateur photography and needed a microphone for her Nikon camera. Works well and she has had no complaints.

    To be completely honest, I don't feel this mic is worth the price. At least not when used with my Canon SL2. I really don't notice a difference in audio quality between this external microphone and the on-board mic built in the camera.

    I bought the microphone to help with the huge disappointment of the microphone on the Nikon D7200. It didn't help AT ALL!!! I could still hear the camera focusing every time. Even though the D7200's microphone is terrible, it's at least the same quality as this microphone.

    I can’t see that it does anything better than what the microphone on the DSR camera actually does
