Thought it would be some sort of composite plastic, but the body is metal. Definitely feels like a quality product.

Mic is sturdy but the flash mounts aren’t... be careful! They snap.

I plug it in now and no sound registers. Doesn't pop up on the computer either.

It seems like it's working, but then when I review the footage later sometimes there will be a popping noise. I have no idea what causes it. It doesn't happen all the time, but there's no way to know it's happening until later so the footage is unusable and I have to reshoot.

This thing never worked. I got it as a late Christmas present to use with a smartphone for video production. It cracked and popped when plugged into the phone, so I used that as justification to upgrade to an actual video camera. However, when it was plugged into the camera, it recorded no sound at all. When I played the video back, the only sound I got was a light hum. Since I received this as a gift well after Christmas--you know, COVID-- Amazon would not allow me to return it, and the manufacturer's customer service is god awful, so getting them to honor the warranty quickly became a fruitless effort. I'd recommend avoiding this product and looking elsewhere for something more reliable.

Put this on-top of a gopro hero 9 with the media mod. Sound quality was pretty good but the dead cat always ended up in frame regardless of shooting type or changing the mount to be further back or on the side. Mount arrived broken so I decided to return the mic.I would not recommend this to anyone that plans to move with their mic in the slightest.
