    I bought this to record interviews for the January 2017 Women's marches. In the midst of thousands of people, this mic did a nice job isolating the voices of my subjects. Used with a Sony a7Rii. Note that the bright color and size of the mic (although very light) seemed to add some credibility to my press credential.

    I am a new YouTuber and this was an excellent purchase for my CanonM50! The audio is great! It blocks out the wind completely when recording outdoors, and it’s just a plug and use! No need to worry about charging it or anything like that!

    Very nice. Does the job. I use it for video auditions and the sound is not airy. Nive sound for my deep voice. Simple to install on my camera. Recommended.

    This isn’t going to be the greatest audiophile condenser Mic in history, but it gets very solid audio for a DSLR setup, it’s quick and way to use, and not overly large.

    Definitely a good quality mic without having to use any batteries. Doesn’t pic up a lot of unwanted sound, very direct sound but you really need a cover for the wind (sold separate) but other than that it’s great.
