Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This is a well rounded shotgun mic with good but not great audio quality. Build quality is solid, though it’s made out of plastic. It feels well-built and not cheaply made.

The strength of this mic is not necessarily the sound quality, but rather its versatility. It seriously captures the ambient sound in stereo like as though you were standing there. Awesome mic has the best sound from any other mic ive used.

Quality

Build quality feels solid and i have no complaints.

It feels well-built and not cheaply made.

I couldn't fully review the quality of the mic as i don't own any sony cameras.

Attenuator - zero / 10db / 20dbuse zero for quiet environments, 20db in noisy ones.

Price

Yes, it's pricey, but it's super small, super light, super portable, and super good sounding.

There's a lot of tech in this microphone, which is why the price is a little high for such a small mic.

Competitiveness

It won't work with my canon or any other brands since it's a proprietary fitting.

I found that in more crowded urban environments its performance lagged behind competitors.

Some reviewers compare this to rode equipment and that's not a fair comparison because each product has a different use-case.
