Review on BOYA BY-MM1 Shotgun Video Microphone: Professional On-Camera Compact Recording Mic for DSLR, Camcorder, iPhone & Android Smartphones by Hoo Chong ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can do better.

Sony 6300. The task was: at an event in a small hall (80Kvm) to get a good sound from the speakers (from a distance of several meters) and remove extraneous noise from the audience. The microphone did not solve this problem. Compared to the omnidirectional built-in camera microphones, the microphone does not provide any directivity. That is, EVERYTHING is well heard: both the speaker and the rustling of the audience.

Pros
  • Cheap, well made
Cons
  • Not as directional as they write about it.

With its pros. Noise reduction. Sound amplification. With its cons. Slight difference between the microphone on the Canon M50 mark ii. But still there is a difference.

Pros: Perhaps not a bad device, though did not deliver it, canceled the order without explaining the reason Its cons: I waited a whole day for delivery, as a result they sent a letter to the post office - the order was canceled, for what reason it is not known, thanks to for this :)
