Review on πŸŽ™οΈ MAONO USB Lavalier Microphone: High-Quality Plug & Play Lapel Mic for PC, Mac, YouTube, Skype, Podcasting, Gaming, AU-UL10 by Stephen Tharpe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works with DJI Smart Controller via USB-A above, not USB-C below!

So I'm not sure if anyone thinks the DJI Smart Cont sound is absolute crap, but I was looking for a simple solution. I noticed DroneValley, a custom built TRS splitter (3 rings instead of 4) for the mic and headphones, but I don't like having anything dangling from my USB-C port (plus I leave the magnetic insert in, which becomes the convenient charging) so I was hoping to find a USB-A (on top of the SC) and IT JUST WORKS PERFECTLY. This is the only one I've tested, so sorry if you don't need a lapel mic! NOTE: Drone Valley mentioned that USB-A tests weren't positive (search YouTube for how to add a microphone to a DJI Smart Controller), so I'm not sure if I'm just lucky, but I think I am should it mention that I UPLOADED GOOGLE PLAYSTORE (Search YT: Google Playstore on Smart Controller by CertifiedAerials) which has all Google services installed. I MENTION THIS BECAUSE IT CAN INSTALL THE AUDIO DIVER that came out for the Drone Valleys test? Anyway this one runs on SC, the sound seemed decent enough for a live stream etc. The lapel mic helped reduce ambient noise and the essence of it is leaps and bounds better than the stock mic which was like would you hear two pans smash with a hard tinny echo, ahhh. Hope this helps someone.
