I bought one of these about 2 years ago when I got my SL2 and it has been amazing. Last month I was at a gig with some hyperactive guests and they knocked my tripod over. I saw my life flash before my eyes because I definitely thought my camera or lens were shattered. This was not the case. A week later I realized my mic had received the blow since the connector was what hit the floor first. Surprisingly the mic still worked but I definitely needed a replacement. I was considering getting something from the Rode family but I thought “my movo has been awesome” so here I am. Definitely worth it

I bought this mic off of the glowing reviews for it, saying it was a wonderful upgrade to their other mics or in phone/camera mics. While this would be a huge upgrade for a DSLR or camcorder, it really isn’t much better than the mic in the iPhone XS and above. Listening back to the videos I recorded with and without the mic, I can’t really hear much of a difference. Don’t get me wrong, it does sound good, and its built very well for the price point, but you do get what you pay for. The biggest benefit for me is the windscreen, which does work well and cuts out most of the annoying wind noise on slightly breezy days. It is a directional mic, but does an ok job of picking up everything around it if you record in an enclosed space. If you are looking to use this with an iPhone XS or later, I would recommend that you save your money for a lapel or a better shotgun mic.

Marginally better than the internal mics of my two smartphones. I would recommend the Movo VXR10 microphone only for casual vloggers who use their smartphones. I also tried using it with my GoPro and DJI Osmo Action cameras from a distance of 3ft and 8ft. From 8ft the Movo sounded nearly identical to the internal mics. From 3ft, however, the Movo did sound a tad clearer and fuller, but not by much. Therefore, I would not recommend this microphone for action cam or DSLR users. Instead, save your money for a decent boom mic by Rode or Deity, for example. For casual vloggers with smartphones, yes it may be worth the price. Also, quality control is lacking. They included the TRS to TRRS cable (for smartphones), but they they forgot to include a TRS to TRS cable (for DSLRs and other cams or recorders). Luckily, I already had one from my other mic. I may wait until the VXR10-Pro is in stock. I hear it sounds like a different mic, and it includes a headphone jack for monitoring, but I am returning the VXR10.

I was confused thought I came with a camera, didn't. The quality of the microphone wasn't no better than just using the phone/ camera. I immediately sent back.

While this mic can work relatively well, it does not work 100% of the time. The connection seems to have issues occasionally and there is no way of knowing whether it's working well before you start recording. I would not recommend.

Bought this product along with phone mount and lights for my vlogs and other stuff. It works really good. I need to buy a dongle though to connect it to my iPhone. It fits well on my phone mount and catch maximum voice with clarity. Material is good and design also looks classy. Value for money is good.
