Review on 🎙️ Nicama SGM5 Cardioid Condenser Interview Microphone: Ideal for DSLR Camera Nikon Canon Sony Mirrorless Camera DV Camcorder by Jordan Ford

$25 Microphones have gotten MUCH better over the last few years. I've used this on my A6400 and have found a few cases where it doesn't work. In most cases, it's a significant improvement over internal mics (although you do lose stereo imaging). The only negative I have to say about this $25 is the "anti-vibration" mount. This can dampen some vibrations, but I've found that it amplifies the vibration noise caused by moving my camera (still mounted on a tripod). It should ideally be some rubber material other than flimsy plastic, but except in this case (according to the vibrations of my tripod legs) it was solid. It really looks like they've dropped everything but the mic and amp, which is what you're hoping for at this price point. So again, for $25 I have no real complaints. Sure, there are trade-offs (like build quality), but as long as you don't sacrifice sound quality at this price point, what can you complain about?
