An astounding mic for a pocket money price. And the accessories are all great, I especially like the smartphone lead - in bright light, using the mic even a my smartphone video could pass off as broadcast quality!I purchased this to use with setting up hybrid online+physical meetings in church halls on Zoom. It's been a nightmare, crazy hall reverb, no passing of radio mics allowed, massive circles around the device due to social distancing - so everyone is far away from the mic. Miking people up is too complex and expensive.This mic solved all our issues! The hall reverb is cut 90%. We popped the mic and laptop on a cheap turntable and everything works great. We can hear the person the mic is pointed at while the reverberation is almost completely cut out.Got a mini recording studio at home and have a small collection of mics, most of which cost 3X plus of what I paid for this - and it even comes with a deadcat shield which I'll be testing outside tomorrow. I've not been this impressed by mics costing much more.Top notch product for peanuts. Bravo.

This is a very good mic - for the price (just over £25 on the Spring deal.) You might get fancier and more versatile microphones if you pay much more, but the audio quality is very good with this Movo mic. Connects perfectly with my Nikon DSLR and gives much improved sound on video, but it does NOT connect with my iPhone (thus 4 stars), despite using the correct adapter. I think that's an issue with the adapter, not the mic. No worries - I want it for my DSLR anyway.A surprise in the box was an extra, alternative - better - shock mount. Both shock mounts are a very tight fit on the mic, so I'm leaving the mic on its mount.Happy so far, anyway!Update: I've also been able to use this as a USB microphone by connecting it to the PC with a UGREEN USB Sound Card.

I can only assume it was faulty because it made the sound on recordings worse than with the phone's built in mic

Easy to connect and use on my DSLR, great sound quality and very good build quality. Great value for money.

I love this microphone!If you're just starting out making videos, then this should be your first port of call. The main reason most people click off a youtube video is that it has bad audio - this solves that problem nearly instantly.First things first... you get the microphone, a shock mount (with a cold shoe bottom), two cables, a dead cat and a little bag to keep it all in. It's really small, that's the first thing to note, and I carry it around in the front pocket of my backpack. It's light and super easy to just have on you at all times.It comes with two different cables for two different functions - one to plug into a camera or an external recorder (such as a zoom h1) and one to plug straight into a phone's microphone/headset jack. If you've got an iPhone, you'll need a dongle, but that won't come as news to you.It sounds fine, albeit a little tinny. It's loud enough that you won't have to add masses of gain and, for most people, this microphone should be pretty much plug-in and play.It's great for vlogging, and there's no battery in there so there's nothing to remember to turn on/plug in/charge - it just works.That's the best thing about this mic - it just works! Highly recommend it, so much so I have two of them
