Sorry to overwhelm but I just noticed how few subscribers you've got for such a good in depth honest review of this. I appreciated it and hope you get lots of success.
Ah, thx for explaining that noise! I was wondering what the heck! 😅 I have the older Movo that I use for my Osmo Action & it really helps! I can hook it up to a cable in my van attached to my visor, with windows down & I don't get wind noises! That impresses me. I also bought the Osmo Action 3 & well, I tend to keep each cameras equipment in their own bags or I'll forget to grab needed items! (Ever take a camera out & realize that you forgot to put an SD card back in?). I think I'll order the upgraded Movo mic for the Action 3. Thx for your extensive review! What a great hiking trail too!
@@MatthewHaines Yes. It was making a thumping sound. When I record with no autofocus it's fine. It might be unique to my camera. I have a Canon 80D. Thanks for the video. It was informative and entertaining. I like your style.
@@MatthewHaines I didn't even try without the mic. My eyes aren't so good. So manual focus is not possible. I have to stay still when I talk. mostly I'm going to use it to shoot my desk and I can turn off the autofocus. I guess you didn't notice that. Must be my old canon.
@SusanCliftonArtist I’ve used it on a manual focus lens on my dslr or on a Sony zv1, which is a silent-focusing camera. I didn’t notice any noise. I think any mic is going to pick up the same noise, which is why I was curious about whether the built-in mic was doing the same. That’s a shame though.
Nicely reviewed. I bought one. The lapel mic I bought a year ago cable failed, and as most lapel mics go, they’re permanently attached to the cable. Straight into the garbage it goes. This one looks stout.
Gaffer tape is what they use to keep the cable banging against the mic, or the pole or anything and making that noise. Velcro cable ties would work too
I can't say for sure as my phone is older. It's going to depend on how far your phone mount puts the mic away from the phone. If your mount clamps the phone on the width like most do (instead of the length or some other way). you can always scoot your phone so the lens is further away from the mic. You're going to just have to try it!
To me this sounds better than the non-pro considerably. I know some people prefer that one, maybe it's just that big presence peak at the top end that's fooling my brain, but the pro sounds really nicer.
@@MatthewHaines thank you so much for answering. Yes I watched the video. I have the same mic (plugged into my Sony ze10) and when I play my audio back on my computer, it just doesn’t sound good. I hear tons of weird static and my Audio is no where near as crisp as yours.
@@palomadelmar is this the Sony ZV-E10? I have some things you should check. First, plug some headphones into the camera if you have some, and listen to your recordings that way. Make sure it’s not something to do with your computer. Also, how does the audio sound with the mic compared to recording with the camera’s built-in mic? Is the noise background noise or does it sound like electrical noise or some other defect? Also, I recently released a video on background noise. Watch that and see if it helps.

I think the sound quality is good! well done my friend!
Thanks! It’s a nice sounding mic for the money.

Thanks very much! It's nice to know I'm not just talking to the void in my videos. :)

What a great hiking trail too!
Yeah for certain uses, these mini shotguns come in handy. Thanks for your comment!
I was also getting a thumping sound and it took a while before I realized it was the autofocus.
Did you mean the mic was picking up the sound of your camera's autofocus?
@@MatthewHaines Yes. It was making a thumping sound. When I record with no autofocus it's fine. It might be unique to my camera. I have a Canon 80D. Thanks for the video. It was informative and entertaining. I like your style.
@@SusanCliftonArtist that’s frustrating! Do you hear this thump when using the built in mic? And thanks for your kind words!

Any time!
Nicely reviewed. I bought one. The lapel mic I bought a year ago cable failed, and as most lapel mics go, they’re permanently attached to the cable. Straight into the garbage it goes. This one looks stout.
Yeah, it's held up for me so far! Thanks for your comment.
HayZeus Kriscko, Did that shockmount not want to let the mic snap in there. Thanks a ton for that part of the review alone.
Heh. Yeah it really took me by surprise, how hard it is to get that mic into the mount. Like, every time!
@@MatthewHaines Yea, I finally got it to snap in

Good suggestion! Other mic companies manage to have quiet cablea though. 🤷♂️
Not sure if you or anyone would know this but if I’m using my iPhone on .5, will the mic be in view? 🤔

@@MatthewHaines boom! I won’t know until I try! Thanks for the reply 🌱🔋

PLS HELPPP MEEE why am I picking up so much weird background noise with this mic... and I'm just talking in my house.
Well hopefully you’ve watched the video. But can you give me more details?
