I bought this for Punkin to make her videos. She thinks it picks up sound better then the on camera mic. She can move it into different location with the cable extension. Punkin is happy with it, so am happy.

Highly recommend!

The sound is not great indoors. But it's much better than the camera mic. Outdoors however, it is hopeless. The windjammer doesn't help one bit. Wish I would have put up more money on something better.

Impressive Audio

I have only used the microphone once thus far and love it! It does a very good job at what it should and is very easy to use. It will get better as I become more familiar with my Canon 80D.

Perfect combination
