Great microphone for my Sony A7iii. Clear sound recording and absolutely no issues whatsoever.

Works great with camcorder. Closing of the battery door is difficult and I think it needs to be fixed.

So far this has been a very good microphone. I have only had time to do a few tests, but I am looking forward to using it for some bigger projects in the future.

Sound is good, but at the same price and size, I'd rather get the Shure VP83, which has equally good sound but uses a more common battery lying around most homes rather than a 9v.

I bought this to use with my Canon 70D, DSLR. I'll echo what many others have rightly said, posted, reviewed: DO use the +20dB gain up on the mic itself, and absolutely crank down the gain on the camera itself as far as you can realistically stand. The built in audio on the camera is pretty noisy, and even with the mic gained up it's really acceptable. For my purposes, I've turned the Canon's sound input down to literally the last click above 'off' altogether, and that's produced the least noisy resultant audio, and I've gained it up just a few more clicks to get more level, though I could probably do better with normalizing audio in a video editor. Anyway. The onboard mic on the camera, if you're in a pinch, you know, it works. Obviously picks up a lot of ambient noise. Using the Videomic gives a whole lot flatter, more realistic response, less ambient noise, and better direction and more presence in at least voice recordings, which is thus far all I've used it for. I'd debated wireless lavs, which just due to proximity would surely be even better in most cases, but the convenience of just putting this on the camera won out, and I'm happy with the purchase.

Great sound. 20db pad is great for cameras with bad pre-amps. A little expensive, but has been worth the investment.

I had the first version of this mic and it has great sound but the build quality was horrible. this fixes all the quirks that the old one had. It works and sounds great for my sony A7 cameras!

Super stoked on my new microphone. I used to have the VideoMic Go and I had some trouble with static and poor audio quality. I decided to upgrade and it was the right move. The sound is rich and there is little background noise being picked up. Adorama did a great job with shipping and customer service with my microphone too. On a separate note, I bought a laptop a few weeks earlier from Adorama and I had the same great shopping experience. 10/10 good product, good company.
