Tikysky Camera Microphone, Video Microphone for Dslr Interview Videomic Shotgun Microphones for Canon Nikon Sony Panasonic Fuji

I bought this mic to replace another mic which used a small fiddly button battery. This mic uses an AAA battery which lasts much longer and is easier to handle. I attach the mic to my camcorder when filming soccer which overrides the camcorder's built-in mic and allows me to kill wind noise with the included furry mic cover.The sound picked up with this mic is very good and even picks up the sounds of the ball being kicked or headed at 75 metres distance. I would buy this mic again and I thoroughly recommend it as an entry-level mic.

Not a bad microphone tbh, eats batteries like nobodies business, but the sound is quite good and the dead cat effective against wind. Stars off as the cold shoe port is made of tissue paper and the sides broke off after a couple of uses.Also have the budget Rode, which is better built, but the sound quality is not that much better.

Worked beautifully and very good value

Positives are it's lightweight, and fits on easily without being too bulky, and helps to cut out background (i.e. behind you) and light wind noise. It won't cut out heavy wind though, but at this price point I'm not surprised.At first I didn't think it was much better than my EOS 200d in-built microphone, but after playing videos back on a laptop and listening through a good set of earphones you definitely notice that sound is clearer.Downsides are that I notice a static / hiss but it's not very audible, and this seems to be audible through 'tinny' speakers like the one built into the Canon 200d rather than good speakers / headphones. It also seems to eat through AAA batteries so make sure you have spares with you!

This Mic was quite simple to be honest. Extremely poor quality and you can do ALOT better for your money.Simple packaging and simple setup. Comes with batteries - would have preferred a built in rechargeable battery.Microphone is not as sensitive as other Shotgun microphones I have tested before - so be aware you may have to turn up the microphone recording volume quite a bit.This mic has a good plastic build quality and comes with everything you would need to get it up and running. The headphone jack is a 3.5mm TRS connection so this will work with most cameras but will not work straight away with smartphones without using a TRS to TRRS connector - these are cheap to purchase anyway.Apart from that, this is a very cheap way to upgrade the quality of the default sound quality on your camera or smart phone.I could hear loud background noise when the gain was sent to 20+db so I would suggest using 0db and changing your audio levels in Post.Not suitable for use at all!It's not even clear how to change the AAA battery.

Bought this to use when taking video on my old Canon EOS 550D, it works really well and produces some good sound. Am glad I bought it.

This is a nice, effective microphone for my dslr. Tried it out on Sunday and very pleased with the result so far. Good price for what I need but perhaps a bit plasticky for heavy useage. Came with two wind covers, foam and woolly. Very happy with it.

Not bad, was what we needed when first setup but when going mobile, wasn’t as effective as hoped and reolaced with a rode mic.
