After 4 hours of use, the connector started falling out of the back of the mic. The electrical contact, which also holds the connector in, had bent to where contact is no longer made. the mic is now useless.

This mic improves the directional sound from a distance when used with a Sony RX100 VII. It also collects sound on the periphery as well.

Don't let the size fool you. This mic has plenty of range. I replaced my Rode Pro with this for on-the-go videos and the result is barely noticeable in quality, very noticeable in weight and comfort.
