SaramonicVmic Mini Compact Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone for DSLR Cameras and Smartphones, VMICMINI

Very Clear Sound, easy to Use in Camera & Mobiles

What is not to like? This is a great sounding mini microphone that is very well priced and solidly equipped. Buy other competitors at your risk, and you will get a limp shock mount that makes the mic point at the ground and less than quality, without the TRRS cable. Great stuff.

You need a audio mic adapter for the GoPro, but when this product is used with it, the audio is ruined by terrible static and noise.

I use this on my GoPro Hero 8 and Hero 10. I like the design and shape of the windscreen as opposed to a big, fuzzy dead cat for the rode micro series. The sound is very nice, and it has Saramonic's great quality. I am very happy with this purchase.

I got this as "cheap" mic to use with my iPhone when recording music ideas. The first thing I noticed is how well it was constructed. It's made of metal, not plastic. And I love that it's a condenser mic that doesn't require a battery. It comes mounted on a DSLR shoe mount, but I wish it had a mounting adapter for phones. Recording quality is clean and clear.

This microphone picks up mid-range pretty decently and cleanly, but it truly isn't any better quality than the microphone already on your camera. It may pick up longer distance sounds further from the microphone better -- but it also loses some of the bass or lower frequencies. Definitely not worth the price, even though I'm sure it's a fair price to actually manufacture/ship/service the device
