    Works great. Hones in one your distance from the camera and auto adjusts to catch the sound just right. Not so good: On the Sony A6000 series it blocks the screen in selfie mode

    This microphone was exactly what I was looking for! You can definitely tell the difference between the built in mic and this one. Especially with the zoom feature!

    Bought this to do some documentaries for my company's website. The sound quality was great for the price. A little boomy on the low end, but I was able to balance the EQ in production. No complaints!

    This mic is a pretty good price for the capabilities. It does feel a little odd when on the camera, so I tend to take it off immediately after use. All in all a pretty good product.

    For its size. It’s very convenient. The price was okay. There weren’t other choices so at least there’s something I can use for my AX700 as a video recording microphone.

    I purchased this on a sale and couldn't be happier. I'd prefer if my sony A6000 had a mic jack but this did the trick. I would recommend this to anyone needing a mic for a sony specific camera.
