    Good for computer conferences / videochat
    5 Stars
    Good for computer conferences / videochat
    I had purchased this mic for doing event such as weddings because I was using a Canon Rebel xti 5 (about 6 years ago). As I remember it had improved the quality pretty well. I had also used it for A Panasonic GH4 but that camera has a pretty good mic system, so it doesn't need it.Now I'm using it to do zoom conferences and it works pretty well. I use the mic jack on my computer directly and set the mic to +20 DB. The only draw back is having to replace the battery, but having some rechargeable ones ( I use eneloop) should do the trick.I did a test to see how well the noise cancelation worked and even when having an AC about 4 feet away you can hear me pretty well.So I recommend this even if you just want to use it as a mic for your pc, just get a small stand for it.

    Simplemente magnifico micrófono 🎤. Lo utilizo con mi cañón M50 para hacer videovlogs en la calle y es súper cómodo, además de que la calidad del sonido a mi punto de vista es superior a la de su competencia del Rode video micpro. Utiliza una batería AA ya incluida que aún no se me acaba y llevo 3 días filmando en promedio unas 3 hrs cada día. Muy satisfecho con su desempeño👌🏻
