Its good
Rode SmartLav+ Lavalier Condenser Microphone for Smartphones with TRRS Connections
Reviewed by Chris on B&H Photo Video
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
OK microphone. Works well with iPod Touch

Sound is OK, but I would say not as good as the Audio-Technica 3350. Free software is worth to useless. There is a paid copy, but I have not tested it yet.
Solid Mic

I bought this primarily as a back up in the field to record quick audio tags and meetings. Sounds like you'd expect. Not bad but not great. For the price/quailty it's a solid buy.
Simply the best

This is the best Lav mic I have ever used. The audio from it is PERFECT! I have 3 of them now for interviews. I use it with their adapter on my Osmo Pocket as well as my iPhone Xs

I love this microphone! I use it for myself or others I videorecord, replacing the native sound with the high quality sound from this mic. Just don't lose it! This is my replacement...

Great for your iPhone! And plugged into a Zoom with the Rode SC3 3.5mm TRRS Female to 3.5mm Right-Angle TRS Male Adapter Cable. Sound is decent. A little muffled but def workable.

Worked great with my Nikon D750! Not so great recording into my phone or iPad. A lot of background noise on those devices. This is why I gave it 4 stars.

Best lavalier for the price in my opinion. You have to by the Rode adaptor to use it with an other device besides a smart phone.

It is very successful as lavalier microphone. It records distant voices at disturbing level. It records the free ambient sound at a low level.
Sounds good but clip for cord doesn't really work well

Reviewed by Russ on B&H Photo Video
The mic sounds very good, however, the plastic clip on the mic holder is not well suited to hold down the mic cord in the fashion they recommend in the instructions.
Great quality Plug and Play Mic

Plug it in and you're ready to go. I use it for vlogs and as long as you're in a quiet space, you can keep the mix up to a foot or two away from you
