With the number of reviews for this mic I expected more. I have GoPros and an Osmo action that all use gimbals and external mics, I bought this Movo to save a few bucks. It works great in very low wind environments, as soon as there’s more than a mild breeze the sounds is nothing but distorted. This is with the dead cat cover, never tried it outside. Also they must send two mic mounts because they know the quality is iffy, it was 38 degrees and the red plastic clip broke the first time I slid the mic in. I warmed the second one up before installing the mic and it held all day. I was unable to use any of the sound once over 5 mph. For outdoor filming I suggest you find a better mic. This one will now be indoors only and replace my desktop mic.

We created a video clip with our phone only and then added the microphone. The microphone made a huge difference!

This is the best affordable video microphone in my opinion! Be aware that you may have to adjust your settings in your camera to find the proper volume that you like. I tried using it for an ASMR video and it also works well! I couldn’t help but do a comparison video on my youtube channel “viva la jovy” using with the mic and without it. There is a big difference it audio quality! It sounds crisp and it was very easy to use. I will definitely recommend this to anyone!

I also bought the Rhode Video Micro and the build quality is exactly the same aside from the rubber vibration dampening mount and cable that comes with the Rhode. It definitely is an improvement over a built in phone or camera microphone for sure and is a great size for vlogging (I don't vlog though). But if you're gonna need something better than either of these two mics, just look for a dedicated recorder and boom microphone. Also, the wind screen is really good at filtering out wind noise, but it's super huge. Would be nice to have something that doesn't defeat the purpose of the mic's low profile design.

I have been very impressed how this mic can be used on my iPhone with the lightning to aux adapter. For both sound and video recording, if you are trying to get the audio of your subject and not of you, this is a must!
