This mic has changed the sound of my mobile device recordings by a lot. I’m looking to upgrade to the other version but I’m pleased with this one.

I bought this for my live online music shows and besides greater clarity I noticed little difference between this mic and my iPhone’s mic. I decided to invest in a much better mic. You get what you pay for. If you’re serious about what you do spend at least $150 for a good mic. Also the little connector cable is so cheap, short and inflexible. Rode makes great mics but not this one.

Compact, high quality sound and versatile. You MUST BUY THE Rode sc7 patch cable separately to use it with Apple products. The “dead cat” wind screen works well and protects the mic’.

To stop the mic from rattling, attach the microphone wire to the slits on the bottom of the mount (which is why they made it like that), which will stop the mic from rocking back and forth. As for the dead cat, the lip needs to be pushed deeply into the microphone into the divet where it can sit, and it stops it from sliding back and forth. I also bought from best buy for $20 cheaper.

Works well enough. Showed up with the case coming apart / loose though. Easy enough to fix but it clearly is not meant to come apart that way.

To be honest there is no much different between the sound of internal microphone of my DSLR and this one.so I recommend to go for another model if you wish better quality.Regards

I like the microphone, it looks, nice and works well. I was expecting more improvement over the built-in mic on my Nikon D3300 but the difference was marginal. I am not sure if that was due to the mic itself. It might just be that Nikon uses a really good mic in their cameras.

The sound it's a little bit low when you record with your smartphone, but it's not a problem if you make some adjustments in post productionAlso, If you want it to record audio in a smartphone like me, you need to buy the cable adaptor to your phone.In general I'm happy with the mic, great sound quality with good noise cancellation
