    The audio quality is night and day using the built in mic and this rode mic. Theres no popping and your voice isn't blocked by the wind hitting the input.

    For some reason the bottom fitting did not fit my Sony a7iii. For that it is a 3 star product and a tough investment... Otherwise, the sound quality is relatively good for the price. The value is there but the dang thing didn't fit.

    Great mic. Works really well, so we’ll in fact that if it’s not quiet in the set, side conversations may get picked up

    This will be my second Rose video microphone. For the cost and size of the unit, the sound is excellent, and exceeds the built in camera microphone.

    It works better than the camera's on-board microphone, but that's about it. The pickup pattern behind the shotgun is strong enough to make the quality lower than what I had hoped. I'm able to use my AT2035 in the same positions and get better quality than this Rode.

    This microphone has good range and it's very easy to use. You don't need any batteries or setup or anything. It's good to go right out of the box. Works every time.

    I bought the Canon EOS Rebel T6 for photo and video. Without this microphone, the sound on the video was echoed and not very clear. This helped a lot.

    Lots of Audio Interference

    I think the mic is not properly shielded. It clicks a lot and I realize that the clicking is due to other wireless signals. It seems like anything on the 2.4GHz spectrum will cause audio interference. Recording using my iPhone on WiFi, I would need to turn off my WiFi and Bluetooth. But then I move around the house and it picks up interference from other wireless devices. This mic is not made for the mobile/WiFi era. Also I had to buy a TRRS converter cable to make this work with my laptop and my iPhone.
