Excellent microphone

Disclaimer: I am a newbie when in comes to microphones so I offer this review based on knowledge only gained over the past few days and limited use of this microphone.The first thing to say is that this is a powered 'electret' condensor microphone so you must not have it switched on when using it with a smartphone. I guess it must do nasty things judging by the small warning card to this effect in the box. Saying that, to plug it into a video camera, digital recorder and PC it is good to have the power so I was really pleased to have chosen this one rather than unpowered ones that are only a few pounds cheaper. For use with a PC you can of course get a USB mike which gets it's power via the USB but I reckon this model is more flexible.The build quality is excellent and the microphone itself is metal and so is the battery compartment. This compartment is nicely made and unscrews very smoothly. The sound quality is streets ahead of the inbuilt mike in my camera and anyone making a video with a live soundtrack should use a separate mike imo unless your camera is high end and equipped with a boom type one. My video camera does not support an external microphone so I use a cheap digital recorder (from Amazon !). There are loads of these - look out for 8gig digital recorder. The quality of the recordings these make are excellent even with the built in mike so I am hoping this will improve it even more. I agree with others on here that the long lead is really good as you can move around and away from your camera or recorder.All in all a great product and definitely worth the extra few pounds over the unpowered ones.

Excellent low-cost mic

I picked this up as a more convenient solution for recording my voice for YouTube videos in places other than my main computer/console table in the living room, and it's been superb. Sound quality is very good indeed, with plenty of presence (though not quite as much as a condenser mic) and the super-long cable allows a decent amount of flexibility with where you place your camera.Works brilliantly with the OpenCamera software on Android, which has support for external microphones. I have had an occasional bizarre issue where a recording has ended up with some music playing over the top -- I can only assume that I did/said something while setting up the mic that the phone mistook as a voice command!I still tend to use my Marantz Pod Pack 1 mic for Let's Play footage (though this requires spending a bit of time syncing up audio and video during the editing process) but for recording intro segments and vlogs, this is a fantastic bit of kit for an incredibly affordable price, and a great beginner's mic.

Works when recording video on the iPhone 7 Plus - no need to sync audio later

I create YouTube videos using my iPhone and simply needed to improve the audio.I can confirm that this mic works very well and is recognised, without any issues, by the built-in camera app for the iPhone (7 Plus). This means there is no need to record audio separately and sync later, unless you particularly want to do that.I originally tried using a USB mic (Blue Snowball Ice) and found it way too quiet on the iPhone, unless I positioned it right up to my mouth. In comparison, the BOYA mic is loud and clear even when clipped very low on my chest, facing downwards.I was worried the BOYA would sound too thick and heavy on the bass after watching YouTube sound tests. However, I'm actually very pleased with how my voice sounds!A few things to note -- The built-in iPhone camera app offers no control over mic gain, input volume, etc. This can mean you get a faint hissing sound when recording. Third-party apps such as FilmicPro and ProCamera offer some mic input control, which would improve this.- The 3.5mm jack on the BOYA mic is the common TRRS style (three little rings around the jack). This will work with the standard lightning-to-3.5mm jack that comes with all new iPhones (or that you can buy separately). If your device takes the TRS style jack (two little rings around the jack), you'll simply need an adapter, like this: RØDE SC3 iPhone Accessory - Black.- This is an omnidirectional mic (as most lavaliers are), meaning it will pick up some of the sounds around you. Your voice will still be very clear.- The cable is uber long, which is super useful, or a super pain in the ass, depending on your needs. For me, it's great.- It comes with a little carrying pouch, which is again useful.- The clip is super study, made of metal.

A bargain and excellent quality lapel mic

The media could not be loaded. If you want to improve the quality of your video's you will at some point decide to get an external microphone. There are dozens of microphones available, each designed for a particular task.One such task or objective is to record someone speaking.I bough this lavalier/lapel mic which is designed to be hooked up to a smartphone or camera. Not tested it with a smartphone but the short video will I hope give you a good feel as to it's overall quality. It plugs in to your smartphone or camera via a 3.5mm jack.The unit has a small switch able power output which runs off a button battery. You need to switch it on when connected to a camera for video and off when connected to a smartphone.From my perspective the quality is outstanding for the price of the item. I know when doing my research that I found lots of different lapel mics ranging from this very cost product all the way up to hundreds of pounds.Have a quick listen to the video recording (preferably with headphone) and hear the quality of the sound. No or very little noise from the camera, nor any hissing. I didn't do any sound editing, so your'e hearing this as it was recorded.A great value product with excellent production quality.
