Junk

I used this microphone 4 times before the USB input broke. An absolute waste of time and money. Very disappointed

Great for its price

Best mic for camera, packed with features. Sound is good.

Impressive!

Sounds far better than expected for this price. Incredibly versatile. The gain control on the back makes it super-easy to trim to any DSLR/Mirrorless camera input. Going back to versatility, an ideal travel mic when you need to pack light. Excellent USB-C connectivity for direct use with many devices. Off-axis rejection is very good, output and sensitivity is high. Only downside is it does not handle extremely high sound pressure levels before clipping. Otherwise - perfect for what it is.

Nearly Perfect

The sound quality from the mic is really crisp to the parameters I needed for Film and Podcasting.

The only thing preventing it from being my ideal microphone is the lack of socket for a sound recorder. If it had one, this would be 5 stars all round. Still a fantastic product, just bear that in mind.

You can use your phone as a sound recorder using a USB C to USB C wire though. So there are alternatives.

Superb versatility, sound and build!

I use this mic in-between my iOS and macOS devices as well as with the Sigma fp. I love it and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a multi-purpose one-in-all solution!
