I use this for videoconferencing mounted above my monitor and out of the frame of my camera. Really great sound and I can comfortably be 8 inches from the microphone. It runs off battery for about 10 days or so and turns on only when my camera is on. I turn the camera off and the microphone turns off also which is great for that battery life. I can't run it off a USB brick like I thought I would be able to because it picks up some hum in the recorded audio somehow. So after 10 days or so it runs flat and people complain that they can't hear me. I tried running it off a USB power battery but the internal battery lasts long enough that I dont bother. Because the power light is around the back of it, I can't see it without poking my head around. Anyhow, when that happens, I change to another microphone and plug this one into a USB brick.

The road did my Pro is a great microphone the audio is top tier and this one has a rechargeable battery built into it making it more functionable

The media could not be loaded. I paid $255. Best buy sells this mic for $300. I was skeptical of ordering due to the repetitive 1 star reviews. I noticed those reviews are from years ago and decided to try it out. No regrets mic has work has fine so far. This mic is top notch and worth buying.ConsFor some reason it looks scratched on the base but nothing to crazy.A lot of reviews said that the foam had an indent and mine did too hut that is because of the wiring that is in the packaging. I plan on adding a dead cat so not even worried and it also does not affect its performance.Extremely satisfied with my purchase. Frankly I was expecting the worst but glad that was not the case! Hope you all have the same experience.If anything I will update my review

It's a good product, but I sent mine back because it's too complicated to use with the phone. You need too many adapters to make it work. If you're getting it to use with your DSLR camera it's great. Has a lower internal noise than some of the other mics that I've tried. Probably the biggest problem with the audio is that it picks up way too much low end which can make it sound comparatively less clear and crisp than some other mics. But honestly, that can be fixed in post and it really only matters if you're literally listening to side by side audio comparisons.

After my friend recorded a SpaceX launch on her iPhone I decided to try it with my Nikon Camera. I was still disappointed with the audio. So I decided to research mics and came up with this model. It has sensitivity settings to match the sound level of what you are recording and the sensitivity of your recording device. It was easy to adjust without even reading directions. And it captured the sounds of the SpaceX launches perfectly even though they are very very loud. This mic captures it all with ease.It powers on and off automatically with my camera so that you can't forget to turn it on or off. It's a top rated mic in my opinion.

One of the better onboard mics that I own and does the job to perfection (almost)

The mic functions great, I only did a solo, self-narrating 5 minute recording in the first day that I've owned it. I enjoyed the audio color and quality of this microphone. Out of box the battery was charged and functional. It came with it's own USB-C to USB-C cable and the above mentioned required audio cable. The cable can be run nicely down through the microphone rest.I knew I wouldn't be disappointed, it's a r∅de.
