Saramonic VMICMINI Vmic Mini Shotgun Microphone (VMICMINI), Black

What is not to like? This is a great sounding mini microphone that is very well priced and solidly equipped. Buy other competitors at your risk, and you will get a limp shock mount that makes the mic point at the ground and less than quality, without the TRRS cable. Great stuff.

I use this on my GoPro Hero 8 and Hero 10. I like the design and shape of the windscreen as opposed to a big, fuzzy dead cat for the rode micro series. The sound is very nice, and it has Saramonic's great quality. I am very happy with this purchase.

The media could not be loaded. good mic but to use with a phone find a good adapter or you'll experience interference. Has trouble in the wind but great for indoor or fair weather outdoor recording.

I got this as "cheap" mic to use with my iPhone when recording music ideas. The first thing I noticed is how well it was constructed. It's made of metal, not plastic. And I love that it's a condenser mic that doesn't require a battery. It comes mounted on a DSLR shoe mount, but I wish it had a mounting adapter for phones. Recording quality is clean and clear.

This microphone picks up mid-range pretty decently and cleanly, but it truly isn't any better quality than the microphone already on your camera. It may pick up longer distance sounds further from the microphone better -- but it also loses some of the bass or lower frequencies. Definitely not worth the price, even though I'm sure it's a fair price to actually manufacture/ship/service the device

I bought this mic hoping I could save money and avoid the more expensive mic's that have better quality, but I learned the hard way that there is no shortcut to quality video sound. I plugged this mic into my android, and had to boost my voice in editing because it barely picked up my voice while talking at normal volume. I plugged this mic into my DSLR, and there was no increase in quality compared to the built in mic in my camera. I should have just coughed up the extra $50 for that RODE shotgun mic...

This little mic is perfect for run and gun shooting. It sounds great, looks sleek, and is very low profile. The price isn’t so bad as well. I even used it on a boom pole and got some good audio out of it. If you’re looking for an inexpensive shotgun mic look no further than the VMICMINI.

Excellent microphone. I was so pleased with this mic. I do voiceover and on-camera work for a living and this has made on-the-go auditions and gigs so much better. The sound quality of this mic is professional. Happy to have found a microphone compatible with my DSLR and iPhone that does the job well.
