Amazon Basics On-Camera Microphone

recently purchased the Amazon Basics On-Camera Microphone and I am extremely impressed with its quality and performance. The microphone is very easy to set up and connect to my camera, and it significantly improves the audio quality of my videos. The sensitivity and directional properties of the microphone also work perfectly, allowing to capture the audio clearly and accurately. It is lightweight and compact, making it easy to take on the go, and the build quality is solid, which makes it durable. I appreciate the included windscreen which is helpful in reducing wind noise and pops when recording outside. Overall, I highly recommend the Amazon Basics On- Camera Microphone for anyone looking for a high-quality, affordable microphone for their video recording needs.

A great basic mic. The fact that it’s actively powered means it works with Canon non-i variants via a mini-usb converter, and it delivers much clearer recording compared to an internal mic. It’s hard to beat the price.

I do a lot of recording with various cams including DSLRs, Action Cams, and Iphones. I'm always looking for mics that produce far better results than in-camera microphones. This Amazon offering does a decent job, certainly better than in-cam mics, but unfortunately, it doesn't enhance voice all that accurately and tends towards a higher sound frequency, leaving you wanting for more bass response.For general no-voice use, it's pretty good and has great pickup with its dual-directional system. That being said, however, it leaves a bit to be desired when the purpose is specifically vocal range.As a low-cost external mic for cams, I give this a FOUR STAR rating, and can honestly say that unless you are critical about voice, this mic will do you well. Otherwise, for more professional results, I would look elsewhere.*If you found my review helpful to you, please let Amazon know by clicking the "HELPFUL" button below!

Not workingUpdate and changed review:After a lot of work I have been able to get it to work. Perhaps it is easy on some cameras/computers but it took a while to get it to work on my ASUS laptop and I had to get a 3.5mm to USB converter to make it work. Still trying on the camera.

A very good deal.

This is a good sized mic for my beginning YouTube creation but it didn’t work! I’m using an iPhone X and have to use the adapter. I tested different ways to see if I could get sound and I never could.Also tested on my older iPad Pro that still had a mic jack and still No Sound. I’m returning. Very disappointed

I fits the hot shoe perfectly. Picks up my audio very well. Have only used for 5 videos so getting more familiar with it. Took sock cover off for better pickup.

Thought this wouldn't work as well as a Nikon or Canon version, Was completely wrong. Works just as well if not better.
