Good Microphone
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.NOPE. Looked around for a decent enough shotgun mic and got this cause the price seemed fair over the Rode versions that got mixed reviews and were pretty pricey, but HOLD ON! This is a Sony mic on my Sony camera and when you put it on the hotshoe it cancels out the ability to change the volume. It just greys out in the menu. That's absurd for my first use of it-recording a live band. The audio was then oversaturated and distorted. Returning!
