Takstar SGC-600 Camera Microphone, Super-Cardioid Condenser External Video Microphone, Shotgun Microphones for Vlog Video Studio DSLR Smartphone Film Production Recording

Arrived in good time and works well.

The media could not be loaded.  Had this load of junk come, and done over 4hrs of YouTube recordings only to find a horrible loud computerised humming noise in the background that wrecked my footageAdmittedly I should have checked the sound quality first but you don't expect this kind of thing happening with something BRAND NEW !!!!!I checked and replaced the cables, and even changed 5 different cameras and then to 2 mobike phones to see if I could resolve the issue but to no difference.Takstar EU are terrible and very unhelpful, and did nothing to help only to say that they would pass the info onto their engineers???????No offer for replacement no offer for refund,, only suggestion that they had was to return to Amazon ??? THIS ISNT EVEN AMAZONS FAULT OR PRODUCT ????.SO IF YOUR LOOKING FOR HELP OR RESOLVEMENT YOUR CLEAN OUT OF LUCK WITH TAKSTAR.I've never felt so disappointed and angry in my whole life with customer services like Takstar and as for their products my feeling are the sameForget buying this ... please

Easy purchase to make. I was recommend this microphone after watching a few videos from Think Media. Its works, is extremley affordable, and instantly makes you look more professional. When I plug this in on the camera, it looks like I'm going to take a media interview. The real selling feature in the decibel manipulation on the mic itself; very helpful depending on the environment. It does requrie a battery, but that's a small price ot pay for this level of performance and portability.

Ich nutze es zum Vloggen, wenn ich Unterwegs bin. Für Straßeninterviews, Vlogs, etc, bestens geeignet!

Es el tercero que compro. Lo he comprado de nuevo para cambiarlo por el primero que compré hace 4 años, que se le ha pelado un poco el cable del sonido y, aunque todavía funciona... me da miedo quedarme sin sonido en medio de una grabación. El otro que compré hace 3 años está intacto y maravilloso (tengo dos cámaras).La calidad del sonido es muy buena, yo grabo obras de teatro en directo con ellos y estoy encantada. Pero si además sólo buscas recoger sonido de referencia, no te lo pienses más que no te hace falta ni Rode ni Roda. Y el precio es inmejorable.

I like it a lot

I'm pissed at myself that I waited this long to purchase this mic for my video needs. I've seen it along with the other big name products for years and only recently decided to bite the bullet on this one. I didn't expect much because I never use the audio from the camera anyway. I'll have my big mic plugged into some sort of recorder and marry the audio to the video in post. I do a lot of run and gun style shooting and sometime I don't have the chance to set up proper audio but still want better than what I can get with the cameras built in microphone. Since I've put this on my cam I honestly haven't taken it off. Even at home using it for youtube videos and other content i've been pleased with the sound come from this mic. It's been my go-to mic on my last few videos on my channel [...]Now you will pick up some background noise, while it's fairly directional you can hear thing in the area. The dropoff from the front to behind the mic is not the greatest, it just becomes more muffled. I just had to mention it. Also, I wish there was some kind of way for it to better alert you that you've left it one and could be in the process of draining your battery. I've come back to it days later and saw the faint little green light on like "oh snap I forgot to turn it off." I only takes a small AA battery but I would hate to be out somewhere using this and my battery finally go dead and not have an idea before hand.Overall, it's really just a great option especially for the price. I've had the chance to use the other options by rode and various companies and they're well worth the price, but this one is steal for it's tag. It's cheap enough to buy it, give it a try and not feel like you've "lost out" if it doesn't meet your standards. I just wish I could have told myself that a few years ago when it first popped up.
