A great budget Camera Mic
For any new or budget conscious filmmakers/youtubers this is a great alternative to the bigger brand mics on the market, that cost more than double this.It comes extremely well packaged, in fact the packaging almost feels premium. The mic has a changeable CR battery (those little watch type ones!), the manufacturer's spec say this can last <60 hours, so we'll hope and see if that is the case. But considering how easy it is to replace & how cheap these batteries are I've not got any issue with changing them when needed.All the machining & general build quality feels really nice, certainly of a much higher quality than the budget price point would suggest. If you're careful with this microphone I'm sure it'll stand the test of time. It comes with a foam wind shield, which is essential to use as being a condensor mic it's extremely susceptible to wind noise.There's a +10db switch in addition to the power on/off, this is pretty self explanatory, but when in action it also adds a 200hz Filter. Meaning unwanted plosives and bass 'noise' is filtered, perfect for voice at extra distance. The sound quality in general is great for an onbody mic. It's certainly comparable to the Rode alternatives in terms of useable quality & considering the likely applications of this mic (DSLR filmmakers) you won't be disappointed with how it sounds.All in all, it's pretty much the perfect low cost on-body microphone.

Excellent camera
This camera has excellent night vision as well as day. It’s nice to have the motion detection on my porch when I need it and also the ability to turn it off in place like my front yard where every car driving by would have triggered it. I like that there’s a memory card slot that allows you to automatically record footage too. All around an excellent camera great for home security businesses or whatever else you need it for. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!
