Z ZAFFIRO Lavalier microphone kit clipped to omnidirectional condenser Lav microphone

Let's be clear before we start, this isn't expensive for a Lavalier mic nor for one that comes with so many bits and bobs. My recording quality expectations, therefore, were not high. However, not much of a risk using Amazon Prime as I could always send it back if it was absolute rubbish. That I haven't sent it back is testament to the fact that it isn't rubbish at all.The audio recording quality is surprisingly good, and functions as the lapel mic that I wanted for interviewing people on video when the on-camera shotgun mic wasn't an option. I'd say the quality is at least as good as the shotgun mic I have, a Comica CMV-V30. For what it's worth, I am neither a qualified sound engineer nor professional videographer, merely an amateur whose opinion should therefore be treated as such. I suspect that most of us buying in this budget end of the mic spectrum are in the same boat, so hopefully this 'review' is helpful.You get a ton of stuff for your money, truth be told. As well as the mic itself there's a spare bluebottle fly windshield thingy, a spare lapel clip, a 3.5mm audio jack to mini USB adapter, a 6m extension cable as well as the 1.5m cable attached to the mic itself, a 3.5mm male jack, 3.5mm female jack and a carry pouch. The latter being *exactly* the same as the punch shown in the picture on Amazon - I have no idea why the vendor states it has been upgraded and is different (unless they upgraded the photo but left the description).I'm using this in conjunction with a Lumix FZ330, vis the 3.5mm mic connector on the camera, and quite honestly have no grumbles with the sound I am getting.

Like: The voice is clear and without any distortions. Love the carrying pouch that comes with. The extension cable is long enough and the connector is small enough to fit through most phone cases. I can't test the gopro adaptor as I have the hero 5 and it's different also the mini USB looks different then your normal plug. It might me specific for the hero 4. Can't tell as I don't own it.Dislike: The recorded voice/sound could be crisper.

Nice mic. I like the extension that comes with it. It makes this lapel mic work well for doing videos or transcription work.I coupled it with Realtek HD Audio Manager and the quality of this mic really shines. It does not give you that "tinny" sound like you get from the cheap $2 mics you may be tempted to buy.If you are looking for a quality lapel mic with great sound, this is the one for you. The accessories included are all high quality as well.

Do not buy!

Sound isnt as clear as I would like but for the price it does an OK job.

Works Really well, Don't understand how the expensive ones could be much better

I bought the microphone because of how versatile it looked. But before I could even taste it, it seemed like the cable had a problem. Any time I connected to any device, it would not record and it would interfere with "Google voice". Its a pity.

Amazing quality to the touch, Presentation amazing, extra parts very useful, sound clean and professional. Very satisfied with the microphone and overall product.

One of the best quality mics I can buy for a deal of a price not spending over $200 for headsets where I can buy a mic set an earbuds for $32 is not a bad deal for gaming

Excelent produit de très bonne qualité de son. Plein d'embouts pour passer du pc, au téléphone et même la gopro. Je suis super content de cet achat, surtout a ce prix.Bémol : les prises ne doivent pas être de superbe facture car ne rentrent pas droite, ou mal. Mais fonctionne.

Suelo grabar vídeos con mi cámara en los que relato lo que veo. Tengo un buen terminal, pero el sonido que recoge es tan amplio que la voz se pierde entre el ambiente. Con este pequeño micrófono de solapa se oye perfectamente. Tiene una buena relación calidad-precio. Además con su alargador de 6 metros me permite grabar entrevistas y cosas que antes no podía. Perfecto.

This awesome microphone i used this in my nikon dslr camera and much clear voice. Soon more orders.thanks lavalier.

Awesome mic for the price, I cant believe the quality for the price. This makes your videos sound so much better. I use it with my Zoom recorder or plugged into my iPhone or iPad. Using this mic will add so much to your videos and make them much more professional. The cover cuts out wind and background noise. All the adapters you'll need are in the kit as well as a nice extension cable. Extra clip and cover are in there as well. I'd definitely recommend and am going to purchase another one.
