This attractive little microphone set is designed for use with Apple or Android phones but is supplied with an adapter that should make it work with most phone or camera types. However, be aware that it will not work with all Android phone models, there are a few older models it will not function with and these are listed at the microphone's Amazon web page. It should work with the default Android videorecording app but if does not the manufacturer suggest using the 'Open Camera' app, available from the Android store.
Inside the rather simple plain unbranded box was the microphone itself, an 79" extension cable, PC cable adapter, two wind muffs, a semi-rigid carry case, and a well written and easy to read User Guide. Build quality for the kit seems fine with noting looking likely to fail anytime soon if properly handled. The omnidirectional microphone is robust, made of metal with a fixed clothing clip. The carry case is decent quality and although far from bulletproof it should keep the mic and cable set organised and safe for normal day to day use.
I tested it with OnePlus Android phone and it worked fine. I also tested with my PC and although the sound inferior to that from my far more expensive studio camera I found the results to be perfectly acceptable bearing mind the price.
This microphone set would be a boon to those making selfie videos and podcasts as clipping the camera to the subject will reduce extraneous noise doubly so if the wind muff is fitted when outdoors. Most rivals do not come with the lengthy extension cable that this does, which is easily long enough to allow the mic to be clipped to the user when the camera or phone is on a selfie stick or tripod. The whole kit can be stored neatly in the case which in turn is small enough to be easily tucked away inside a camera case or pocket. The current Amazon price of £18.88 makes this an attractive buy indeed.
