    Although I couldn’t keep it due to my main camera falling, this was an amazing addition to my gear. Great in any sort of weather and a must have!

    Compact mic, lightweight & good audio at a bargain price. I love the small 3” format & the universal shoe mount.

    It’s pretty good when there is a lot of sound, but since the mic isn’t powered, I found that it would sometimes cut out if we didn’t have much sound to pick up

    Obviously not the top of the line sound for the price but it kills the sound of wind etc. and all you do is plug and play and it’s small.

    Great microphone! Wind muffler is key to have and works flawlessly. Overall size was bigger than expected but for the price point it's perfect.

    This will pick up a great deal of background noise, which is totally ok if you’re vlogging. Not great if you’re trying to pick up conversation with a lot of background noise.

    It’s not the greatest mic ever, but it’s a good price and decent enough. If you’re okay with the trade off, then it’s good.
