    If you're shooting outdoors often, get this product. It will help out in reducing outside noise and decrease the wind noise too!

    This is mic is decent. If you have a room full of people and its loud it may not be the best, but for recording a single subject its good.

    Really like this mic for run and gun situations, however it doesn't have a built in preamp so you have to manual adjust your cameras settings to get crisp sound.

    This mic has a bit of hissing sound in the background. A good editing filter will take care of it, but expected more for the price.?

    Had to do go into setting in my canon and just lower the level of the microphone, but after that everything worked just the way it’s supposed to!

    It wasn't until I started shooting video that I realized how limited my microphone on my DSLR was, so I purchased the RODE external mic that captures clear sound SO MUCH better and is so much more effective for my video.

    Good mic for its price, but because the preamp on my DSLR is so lame I need a mic that I can turn up the gain on. Not so for this mic.

    I needed a microphone for making videos without using the clip style and this is just what I needed. If it's just me or more people, I only have one microphone to attach.
