Review on Enhance Your DSLR Interviews with the M-1 Camera Microphone: High-quality Shotgun Mic for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Fuji Videomic with Windscreen and 3.5mm Jack by Alan Massey

This product's sound quality (at +20dB) is a bit sizzling, but generally works well. At 0 dB, the noise is significantly lower, but still audible. It is a pity that it does not work in passive mode in the "off" position (without reinforcement). The real problem is the brittle plastic. I am over 50 years old and am very careful with electronics. I have a Pelican case for my camera with this mic in it. I didn't even realize the base was broken, only that it was incomplete when I used it again. Maybe it was just my device's problem, but maybe not. The combination of sound quality (not great, with constant hiss) and brittle (now broken) plastic makes me not recommend this product for the price I paid for it. ($40). It would be great to upgrade the sound quality and metal base.
