Switched from tripod to glide cam while recording to sync video in post. I barley heard the tripod mounts clicking into place.

Quality is amazing as expected, both in the build and sound. I like the new shock system, works well. My only con is its large size on a small DSLR body. But for the price it is great.

not the best but pretty good
