Bottom line, this is not an expensive mic, but exactly as the manufacturer suggest, the mic is tremendously better than the built in mic on my Camcorders. I can't tell you how this would work outside as my application is more studio setting, but inside, even with fans blowing directly on the mic, the basic foam windscreen was able to eliminate most of the background noise. I can see how the mount itself has no real shock absorption, so if you plan to hand hold your camera, you might pick up a unwanted handling sounds. Using this where the camera is mounted on a tripod and the mic to the camera, this mic works exactly as I had hoped. Easily outperforms many other mics costing 2x as much. Easy to recommend. Go buy one.

I wish I could return it. The sound is not good which is sad because now I’m stuck with it. The sound on my camera is better without the mic.

This product is OKAY. It was a bang for the buck if you want something for about 3 weeks and you have to buy a new one. But your mileage may very. Overall this wasn’t a good product and I would save up to buy a much better one.

Use it with my cannon for auditions. Makes a big difference with my audio. Like it. It’s annoying that I have to renter to click it on each time I tape though. Idk if all mics are like that or just this one. Overall it’s a good purchase though.

Gives the video awesome sound quality because of this inexpensive product! Would recommend for anyone who is on a budget but need great quality on their videos.
