Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Thomas ★★★★★

Used it on a recent outdoor shoot and was shocked how much cleaner the audio was compared to my camera’s built-in mic. The fact that it’s this small yet picks up sound so clearly is impressive. No batteries needed either, which saved me on location.

Edward ★★★★★

The build quality feels solid right out of the box, and the way it isolates my voice from background noise while filming indoors is impressive. Even without any extra accessories, it captures clear, detailed audio that makes a huge difference compared to my camera’s built-in mic.

Thomas ★★★★★

Was pleasantly surprised how much cleaner my interview audio sounded compared to the built-in mic — the shotgun design really isolates the voice even in a slightly echoey room. And it’s so small I just leave it mounted on my camera without noticing it’s there.
