      This mic is unreal. If you record voice-overs for videos or podcasts or whatever, this allows you to do high-quality work on your cell phone, tablet, notebook, or possibly whatever device you use to record audio. I was a little skeptical because I figured my cell phone audio recording system might have several weak links, not just the microphone. Turns out the rest of the audio recording pipeline on my cellphone is reasonably solid, so using this microphone makes an astounding difference on my cell phone. And it makes outstanding recordings on my PC as well.

      If you make videos or record podcasts (especially on the go), I can't recommend this mic enough. I should have bought it long ago. Makes a huge difference. You can honestly record using this mic alone on a cell phone using any recording app in a quiet environment and get solid results. If you are comfortable doing some basic sound editing and using very simple VST plug-ins, get the TNT Voice Executor plug-in from Audified and you will get results so good that the vast majority of people (not including audio pros) will be thoroughly impressed with your voiceover/audio.

      I added the square trade insurance for a few bucks and I will keep the mic stored in the "pleather" bag that was in the package, so I'm hoping to get plenty of use out of these. Will update this review as needed.

      Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase. The difference this microphone makes is astounding. I haven't tried it for voice dictation yet, but I'm confident it will be overkill for that, since the inferior boom-mics I currently use already give me solid, reliable results. Bottom Line: If you're thinking about getting this, get it. No way you'll regret it.

      A bad audio can turn a great video into a terrible video. Your viewers may ignore your bad video and bad lighting but will NOT forgive your bad audio. Built-in mics of phones/tablets are substandard, sound tinny and are not powerful enough to record audio from a distance which is why people record audio on a separate device using a Mic on their person and sync it later. If you want great audio, you need an external mic.

      If you want to shoot a cool videos with GREAT audio on a SINGLE device without having to download, sync up audio/video later in an editor, use this combo and it works with just one phone or tablet (no need to use 2 devices to record audio/video separately and sync audio/video in post production editing):

      (2 mics and 1 headphones)

      (20 feet but NO loss of audio quality)

      If the breakout box does not fit due to your bulky phone case, plug the extension cable into the phone and then plug the breakout box in between the extension cable and the mic.

      The items I mentioned above are TRRS that connect with iOS devices well. If you want to connect the SmartLav+ to a camera or an audio recorder or other O/S devices that have TRS jack, you need this adapter (I have this one too):

      Just make sure you get the latest SmartLav+ (plus) and NOT the older version that has some noise (smartLav):

      If you are not clear with TRRS-vs-TRS-vs-TS, search Google for TRRS vs TRS.

      For video recording, use FiLMiC Pro app with FiLMiC Remote app - the BEST. For audio recording, use Rode Rec or MetaRecorder apps - both are cool.

      The above combo works great for me!

      Graba muy bien y filtra muy bien el viento y ruido de fondo.

      Es de la marca Rode y estoy muy contento.

      Considero que es de una muy buena calidad y a dia de hoy después de dos años sigue funcionando perfectamente.

      Ik heb dit product opnieuw gekocht nadat door intensief gebruik het kabeltje gebroken is. Opnieuw gekocht omdat ik heel tevreden was van mijn vorig exemplaar

      Parfait pour mes e-learnings en intérieur. Un bon complément à mon DJI Mic 2 réservé à mes prises de son en extérieur. Micro discret et bien équilibré. Parfait avec le dead cat. A emporter et utiliser en toutes circonstances. Je le recommande vivement. Excellent rapport qualité/prix.
