For vloggers, streamers, ASMR creators, remote workers/teachers in need of a cost-effective and unobtrusive upgrade from their device's built-in mic, the Saramonic Vmic Mini S Multi-Pattern Shotgun Microphone offers a quality solution that won't impede the flow of work. This lightweight and ultracompact shotgun mic mounts directly to DSLR, mirrorless, and video cameras, or to smartphones and tablets with an adapter (available separately), and yields considerably improved sound compared to the built-in mics on these devices.

Plug-and-play operation makes it extremely easy to use right out of the box. The switchable pickup mode offers a 120° pattern for directional recording, a 360° pattern for multi-person interviews, and an ASMR mode for capturing tingling sounds. With no batteries to install or charge, you can immediately start recording your YouTube videos, Facebook Live streams, Teams and Zoom meetings, and interviews, at home or on the go. The Vmic Mini S includes two 3.5mm cables—a TRRS to TRS cable for use with cameras and a TRRS to TRRS cable to allow proper hookup to a smartphone or tablet equipped with a headphone jack. It also comes with a foam windscreen and a fur windshield for outdoors shoots.

Q: 1. Will this work on a Rebel EOS T6?

A: No, the Canon Rebel EOS T6 does not have an input for an external microphone and only records audio using its built-in internal mic. You can use a separate recorder with an external microphone such as the Rode VideoMicro to record an audio track and then combine the separate audio with the video in post production.

Q: 2. Does this capture a 2nd channel with -10db simultaneously as a way to protect against sounds that risk clipping?

A: The Saramonic Vmic5 Pro Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone does not include a "safety track" feature that captures a second track at a lower level than the main signal. It does feature three stages of gain control on board, but this is up to the user to adjust manually.

Q: 3. What is the output? There are 3 potential sources, the front & Rear mics and the external. Are they all just mixed to mono?
