Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the excellent sound quality and ease of use of the VideoMic On-Camera Shotgun Microphone. Many also appreciate its price point, though some find the microphone's size to be a bit large for certain applications. A few users noted the need for a 9V battery as a minor inconvenience.

    This mic worked well during testing. I used it for an event and then the problems became obvious. During this event the event sound levels were all over the scale. This was a major problem since the noise level control for the -10dB was a set of dip switches inside where the batteries are located. This made it very difficult to change the noise level on the fly. Other than that the mic worked well for my other event where the noise was very consistent.

    Overall the mic was an improvement from a camera standard microphone, but I don't think its worth the price.

    The sound quality was very impressive but the mic was too long for my Sony ax53. I returned it for the smaller version, which is also very good.

    Works well! Don't forget to turn down the amp for the internal microphone when connecting this. It will eliminate the hissing sound.
