BOYABY-M1 Clip-On Microphone for DSLR Camera/Smartphone/Camcorder/Audio Recorders - Black

If you need a good looking and well made Mic with good quality sound this is just the job! It is a wired mic so be aware that you need to work around that. I used directly with iPhone recorder and also with a USB plug in sound card on my laptop and it worked perfectly for both. Well packaged with leatherette bag.

This works very well with my Panasonic bridge type camera. The recording is very clear and I did not detect any excessive background noise. The cable is usefully lengthy so that the camera can be positioned some distance away. My only gripe is that I also have a camera (Sony) which has a mini USB mic socket and there is no adaptor or way of using this mic with anything other than a device which has a jack socket.

Excellent mic, Keep this in the car so always on hand when I have time to use it. Have transcribed items onto my i phone and uploaded to the cloud and then transcribed to Dragon Dictate at later time. Reproduction is amazing for such an inexpensive item. You could purchase a usb adapter to enable use on your laptop if required. I will probably purchase a 2nd to keep in my coat pocket.

Works perfectly with my iPhone X and my existing lightning to 3.5mm jack that came with the phone. Great quality and easy to use. For the price it's no pro audio solution but it's exceptional for what it has cost.

For a basic mic for emergencies, this is just about passable. The sound quality was better than the mic on my laptop, but there's a noticeable hiss and voice quality lacks depth. The clip is a piece of rubbish - one plastic lug cracked on the first use. I super-glued it back together and the other side broke on the second use. Be aware that the cable is VERY long, so this is not an ideal mic to use for video calls and recordings as metres of cable get in the way.

Excellent. Works perfectly across smartphone and to my SLR camera. One issue maybe the fact that the connecting cable is very very long so be aware.

Great mic. Awesome sound with phones etc. and great long lead.If you’re planning on using this with a camera or pc to record sound then watch out. Just spent half the day researching why it wasn’t working on my Nikon D7100 or laptop or PC. The problem is in the connector. Smart phones usually use a TRRS 3.5mm jack which this has. Some cameras and computers can’t handle this, their mic input is TRS 3.5mm jack. So basically this will plug into the hole fine but won’t work. You need to buy a separate adapter - female TTRS to male TRS such as the Rode SC3. Another option is using a gaming headphones splitter cable which splits the TTRS input into two male TRS outputs, one pink and one green. Then you end up with a redundant green end wiggling around.Just be aware of this as you’ll need to spend and extra £5-£10 on an adapter. Really they should include one or at least make it clearer. Hence why I’ve marked it down on value for money. Other than that it’s a great little mic.

Beware. When it says this mic is suitable for smartphones you need to check if that is right for your model. In my case it wasn’t. I have a PlusOne 6 mobile. I tried the microphone which didn’t work. After following suggestions on Google, I still couldn’t get it to function. Finally I sent an email to this retailer who delightfully advised me to buy a dongle made by the Boyer company specially for this mic. The cost? Over £20. That meant the mike and dongle would have cost around £35. Had I known from this from the beginning I wouldn’t have bother.Although I emailed this retailer again I have heard nothing. So overall, I’m disappointed with this companies lack of smartphone compatibility info in advert, there response and lack of response to my complaint.
