Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceeded my expectations. Featured!

This microphone offers a significant improvement in sound quality over the built-in microphone of the two phones I use it with (OnePlus 6T and Pixel XL). As for these two phones. Here's what you need to know.1. The Pixel XL (and I suspect other phones in the line) are plug and play. Very easy.2. The OnePlus 6T's native camera app does not recognize this microphone and does not offer an option to use an external microphone in the settings. However, both OpenCamera and Filmic Pro offer an option to select an external microphone. And this mic works in both with no issues. One thing I wasn't expecting is the included mini tripod (how much I love it). It makes it very easy to hold your phone and microphone while recording videos of other people or yourself. It's also great because it offers a stable platform that you can lower if needed. The only downside (not a big deal) is the adjustable smartphone clip. phones). And then many turns to reduce it to the smallest size that fits in the suitcase. But it literally takes 15-20 seconds. Can't comment on how well it holds up over the long term but so far this setup has exceeded my expectations and it's great value for money.
