The universal microphone for the camera I've been waiting for so long! In this mono mode it can be used like any directional microphone. It also has stereo capability, which is an important factor that helps it stand out from the competition. Then T-mode, as they call it, basically allows you to have two directional mics facing each other, allowing you to record interviews with either person without a separate mic. Traxshot comes with a TRRS cable for capturing audio from smartphones and . The processing quality of metal is excellent. I highly recommend this microphone. It might seem expensive at first, but once you realize it's basically a replacement for a stereo mic and two gun mics, it's a hell of a deal! If you are a film director, I find this an invaluable tool.
