Mirrorless Camera External Mic Port

This mic is an excellent choice for GoPro or mirrorless camera users who want an external mic that won’t block a selfie screen. Since it doesn’t require a hot shoe, it’s good for a Sony a6400 or a Sony RX100 vii, for example. Even though it’s called “omnidirectional,” it’s actually a directional mic that can be swiveled forward or backward. I haven’t tried it outdoors but I assume if you put a small “dead cat” over it, it would perform quite well outside. Nice accessory for 25 bucks.

I use it as external mic for my camera and it works beyond expectations.

When using an external mic with a TRRS plug on your iPhone mounted in a rig or gimbal that blocks the lightning port, this allows you to use the lightning port without either crimping the cable or moving your iPhone so far away from the rig as to exacerbate balance problems. You only need move your iPhone about 19/32 away from the obstructive gimbal. I could not find any competing products.

Value for money together with a port for external speakers.

If you own a Canon EOS M50 and are wanting to use an external monitor, this cable is a MUST. Canon weirdly decided the best place for the HDMI port on the Canon M50 was on the RIGHT-hand side of the camera body... you know, where you HOLD IT. So you use any other HDMI cable plugged into the Canon M50, it's constantly jabbing you in the hand, and you're putting pressure on it and the HDMI port, none of which is a good thing! Other right-angle micro-HDMI cables help a little bit, but because of their orientation they push the cable either back towards the operator or forward in the direction of the lens (the latter makes the inclusion of a cage for the M50 nearly impossible). THIS right-angle micro-HDMI cable sends the cable straight up, making the camera much easier to hold in your right hand, and much easier to connect to an external display.

If you have the Media Mod then there's no need for a Mic Adapter to use External Mic. External Mic can be Plugged into the Media Mod as there is Slot available in the Media Mod to connect the external mic and it works perfectly alright.

Build quality like you would expect from Rode, a definite directional mic that rejects noise from the sides and the rear of the mic boom. Designed for TRRS jack on Android or iOS devices. You do need to use an App that understands it had input options, the switching to an external source is not automatically supported by the default apps, favors the internal mic of the device.. ignores the external. Plus is while it draws power from the Phone its already matched to whats available, no ground hum or other impedence problems. It is analog, but metal barrel around microphone shields it from RF interference. This is a cardiod, not Super cardiod for pulling in long distance sources but is as good as you could hope for from a non-boom mounted camera mic. It makes a distinct difference which you can see in a recording wave form or track display in an editor. Sensitivity is about 20 dBm greater than my Rode Podcaster which is already fantastic, but intended for close up voice recording at the end of the Podcaster screen. So yes it is a mini-shotgun mic. The dead cat wind fob/wind screen that comes with it reminds me of a Tribble from Star Trek.. but appropriately inanimate. Its certainly better and less intrusive than an NTG2 with a long reach boom in front of a subject.. but gets the job done and conveniently fits in your camera bag, without power source, amp and mixer.

Great camera, easy to use. External mic jack is a bonus....Good products, good prices, ....

This is a great microphone for vlogging, especially on a smaller, mirrorless camera. I use this mic with my Sony a6400. I use a smallrig cage setup, so it doesn’t block the flip up screen. I really like this mic for vlogging because you don’t have to worry about turning it off and on, or dying because it doesn’t take a battery. Small & compact, but very effective. B&H got my order to me within 24 hours too. All in all, I’m extremely happy with my purchase and can’t wait to make more purchases through B&H

I was really impressed with the sound and build quality of this small mic. I use this on a mirrorless camera that I use in video. I like that I do not need batteries for it, just plug in and go.
