Worked for several weeks, poor build quality

Initially this mic worked for me but one day it stopped working. I couldn't figure out if it was my app or the recording device, but after successfully using other mics, I realized the panda's purple mic was the problem. I have found that the microphone cables have broken internally with very careful use.

Cons
  • Cable is shorter than the others

Great product, even better customer service!

Let me start by saying that Purple Panda's customer service is fast and beats the competition! I received my first kit without a TRS adapter and contacted them just to ask for an adapter and they sent me another kit with a TRS adapter without hesitation! I am very satisfied with the sound quality of this Lava microphone, I have used it directly with my Gopro Hero4 and with my H1 zoom and I am very satisfied with the sound. The GoPro has some white noise, but it's not enough to make a fuss and…

Cons
  • A lot

I think the Purple Panda microphone set is great! I make my own videos from my phone for social media communication and Purple Panda helped my professionalism a lot. You can pay $12 for competitors who give you 1 microphone and 1 adapter. OR you can pick up this Purple Panda product for a few bucks and get a lot more options! Why buy cheap crap just to make ends meet when you can get an incredible product for a worthwhile investment that gives you the peace of mind that your tools are the best…

Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Terrible QA - Beware of a buggy mic/DOA!

I was originally sent a defective microphone. No matter what I did or what device I plugged this mic into, there was absolutely no feedback, just static. This alone tells you that the microphone is defective and needs to be replaced. It took them 3 days to respond with troubleshooting instructions which I had already tried. The entire product comes in a case which is inside a zipped pocket (as you can see in the photo provided) so there really isn't anything to protect the mic. If it's…

Cons
  • sad packaging

Doesn't work with phone or laptop

I tested this on my Samsung Note 10 using both the native camera app and the user manual recommended app that came with the microphone. Both applications failed to record audio. I figured it might be an issue with the 3.5mm USB-C jack (since the Note 10 doesn't have a headphone jack), so I tried recording with the mic on my regular wired headphones through the jack. My headphone mic worked fine with the jack. Then I checked the microphone on my laptop and again there is no sound. And yes, I've…

Cons
  • Hard to tell

To be clear, this is NOT a stereo microphone.

First of all this is a very good lavalier microphone, it comes with lots of useful adapters and an extension cable. The fluffy "Dead Cat" windbreak is almost worth its price because it is made of particularly fine faux fur that really effectively dampens wind noise. The mic itself sounds pretty good as it has full range and picks up a rich sound. Now for the claim that it records stereo sound; IT IS NOT. It has an omnidirectional (non-directional) mic capsule and captures MONAURAL sound, there…

Cons
  • Nothing here

This is a review of the Purple Panda Lavalier Lapel Microphone. I received this microphone to use with my camcorder (Canon HRF50). Unfortunately this does not work with my particular camcorder as it is not an active microphone and my camcorder requires an external active microphone. If I had known that beforehand, I would not have ordered. However, I have a GoPro Hero3+ Black camera and it works with both it and my iPhone6. So I leave it to myself. I have another Lava mic of the same price that

Does what it promises, great customer service.

I have seen many people praising this microphone for its quality and price. So when it came time to update my current setup, it seemed like a no-brainer. I connected it to my Olympus WS-852 via the included TRRS adapter and did some test shots indoors and outdoors with the included Wind Suppression Death Cat. The first results were promising, apart from an odd buzz when there was dead air. Thinking it might be my voice recorder, I switched to my Google Pixel 2 and used the default voice…

  • Some flaws
