    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.

    I'm not sure how better it sounds compare to internal recording on my sony a7s iii. It feels cheap, plasticky toy, rather than a tool. It is not worth $100. It deserves a "Buy Nice or Buy Twice" Warning!

    Works but there is background noise created or picked-up. The built-in microphone on my Sony a6000 is equally good without any background noise. I bought open box, so maybe it is a bad unit, although why would it be resold if bad? It is now too late for me to return.

    I would like to say I purchased this product for the convience. I found the sound quality to be sub par. I wouldn't get another gig if I had to depend on this mic for audio.

    I have an A7s and the mics on that are better then most so maybe its not a fair comparison but this device was way worse then that.

    Good Microphone

    The build quality is good as with all Sony products. Brought this to use with my Sony A6000 camera to have better audio when recording video files. It fit well and performed well. The only drawback is that it will not do audio zoom. This is when the microphone is set to a zoom pattern and it is supposed to narrow as the camera zooms in on the subject. It will give you an error that the A6000 does not support that feature of the accessory and to check compatibility of the device. I can live without that feature because the audio is so much more improved over the built in microphone of the camera. I would recommend this accessory to a friend if they could live without the audio zoom feature.

    This seems like it is supposed to be a plug-and-play mic. I could not get this mic to work with my Sony ZV-1. I do NOT recommend this product.

    I had read online that this microphone would work with my camcorder. Unfortunately, it didn't. It may be a good microphone with other camcorders.
