    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.

    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.

    I purchased this mic to assist me with a school final project and it not just did the job, it helped make the project! The separation of channels the quality and crispness of the recording allowed most scenes on first take. This mic sits on the hot shoe of any of my Sony alpha mirrorless bodies and can be used with close ups, at distance and split either stereo or mono Must have for Sony project pro

    Mic worked well but it has Avery narrow pickup zone for audio, I needed more ambient noise for the event I was recording.
