This makes the 5th different Rode mic we have purchased; have two we use on DSLR applications, have a Rode shotgun, and also a Rode News Shooter kit. All work as desired and planned... getting us good audio.
Great Audio!

We bought these to do interviews at a surf contest. It was windy and with lots of noise around, and it still captured the audio in a perfect way.
Good for the price

This is a great little Lav- perfect for what I needed it for (recording training lectures at work), decent quality for the price.
Never used a bad Rode product, this is no exception to that!

After owning and using many Rode Products (NT1 & VideoMic Go from my personal collection) I finally decided to pick this up. No regrets, it does exactly what I wanted it to! Great for interviews!

Been using this for quite some time now without any real complaints. I did break my clip and need to get more, but thats it. I wanted to give it 4 stars cause its not the smallest mic, but that in of itself is not worth a hole star. So 4.5

I needed this microphone to record short on the go videos for my site with my iPhone 11 Pro Max... it works perfectly with the native iPhone movie app and the sound it clear while picking up very little other voice than my voice. Highly recommended.

I absolutely love this mic. In fact, I have 3 - enough so every actor I have can use one in a scene. The audio is so clear, and you get almost no noise. The app is easy to use as well. I highly recommend.
Perfect for U-tubing it!

I love, love, love this microphone. It is so easy to use and works perfectly for my online posts for a class at school. The gentleman at B&H recommended the lightening plug- I got it and it works great on my iPhone. Thank you B&H for your excellent suggestion.

Excellent product. Would buy again and I would recommend it for sure. the only downside is that the app is only iOS nd no android hence the four stars.
Bang for the buck. Recommended.

This little mic is of great quality. I use for video interviews I conduct on my phone and works perfect. Sound is clear and audible. I purchased with the extended cord and couldn't be happier with the results.
I'm pretty happy with it!

Although, you most definitely get what you paid for, some eq-ing post goes a long way to make this mic sound really good! Kinda sad that I would need to get an adapter set to hook this up to my h4n, but that's okay!
Excellent Lav for Zoom Calls

I love this little mic. I use it for my Zoom calls and it works perfectly. Now I can sit back from the computer and still be heard, loud and clear. Doesn't seem to have such a hot gain that it picks up all of the room noises either. I'm sold.

Purchased this lav to work in tandem with the native recorder on smart phones for some field video shoots. Nice little mic, works well, sound quality is perfect for our purposes. Decent range with more bass than I was expecting.

Had to download another camera app which allowed my smartLav which really improved the sound quality. Unfortunately, the new camera app picture quality is not as good as my phone's camera app. Always there are trade offs.

This is a good microphone for the money. Depending on what you are going to use it for, be aware that the cord is a bit short. I ended up returning it for this reason, since I'm going to be using it to record myself instructing fitness videos and need to be able to move around a lot.
