    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.

    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.
