    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.

    It’s the standard for film recording and videography. The acoustics it produces is second to none.

    Cost a little more but well worth the difference in price. Does not pick up noise around you. Picks up sound ckeary to where you are pointing camcorder.

    This was a very last minute purchase for a school project. Unfortunately, I couldn't use it because it was not compatible with my phone (I did not have a camera to use it with). I'm sure it works just fine, but I was unable to use it so I had to just return it instead.

    I use my RODE mike with the Canon M50. It's easy, and picks up quality sound. I use it to record musical performances with my band.

    This microphone is definitely better than The internal microphones in cameras. The cable it comes with works perfectly but as soon as I plug a different cable into it Like when I want a longer one, it has static noises at times. So I do recommend it but I just wish it work better with other cables.

    So far so good! This microphone has worked great for our needs. Granted, it is still new so there is always room for error down the road.
