Good quality, great sound, excellent value.

I must first preface this review with the fact that I have never owned a shotgun mic before, so I have zero reference for similar comparison. I have lapel mics, however, so I can compare to those.First off, the mic is very light. It's up to you to decide how to take that. Light can mean "cheaply made" or it can mean "convenient". I use a Sony a6500, which is a smaller mirrorless camera, so I like the fact the mic is lightweight.Second, the mic uses batteries, which are standard AA size, I believe. The power is needed to turn the mic on, otherwise it picks up no sound. It's not like a lapel mic that just always works. The switches are on the back of the mic, and feel somewhat cheap. I've forgotten to switch the mic on before, and recorded an entire video with no sound.Third, the coiled cord which plugs into the camera is long enough for the mic to sit on top of another hot shoe mounted accessory. The mic also comes with a splitter that is intended to work with a cellphone and a pair of headphones, so that a live stream can be done, however the splitter doesn't work with my camera or cellphone.Lastly, this mic appears to need to be fairly close to the person speaking or to the source of sound. It seems perfect for vlogging if using a shorter focal length lens, under 24mm. Any farther, and it may pick up other room noises too much. These are simply my non professional opinions.Overall, I'm pretty happy with this little gem. Seems a great price, given some alternatives are well over double the price.

Suelo usar el Rode Vídeomicro que me parece tiene una calidad aceptable. Aún así cuando probé este micrófono note un salto de calidad en el sonido.También me gustó que incluye un cable para instalar el micrófono a un Smartphone, este cable incluso es útil para conectar el micrófono Rode al smartphone, (pocos cables permiten esto ya que Rode en especial con estás cosas).El único detalle es que este cable no tiene protección contra el viento, por lo cual no lo recomiendo para vlogs, cualquier ráfaga de viento y se oye en el micrófono. Pero si grabas en espacios controlados esto no supone ningún problema.

As good as my Rode video mic but much cheaper. Sound quality is excellent

Si tienes bajo presupuesto y te urge un micrófono con una calidad de audio compente, este es el ideal, ahorra mucho el consumo energético por lo que las pilas te durarán bastante.
