Great little inexpensive "shotgun" mic for Sony cameras. It actually helped me in a pinch in being able to produce some video segments for news broadcast. May not be sufficient in louder environments at distances greater than a few feet.

Tested on a A7II. It is much better than the built in mic and adds a zoom function as well. If you have a camcorder with a multi-interface shoe under a door, a bumper is included.
The zoom function does not work with all cameras. Check Sony's documentation for more details.

Good shotgun microphone and the zoom mic feature works really well with the Sony FX-43A camcorder. Shotgun mic, but not zoom, works with the Sony ZV-1. Not needing an extra cable is a nice bonus.

Works great and delivery came ahead of schedule direct to my doorstep! I use this mic for vlogging and it works without cables in the hot shoe of my Sony a7c. I do wish it had a better cover for wind noise but I primarily use for indoor sound isolation.

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.
