These are super easy to use and result in very good quality sound for DSLR video. They are slightly smaller than the previous version and the black color makes the mic less noticeable on the wearer. You can quickly move the microphone from one person to another. The blue indicator light is also a bit less conspicuous.

Surprisingly good

Two way communication across bluetooth with a good quality microphone. These will be very useful as a backup wireless system. The only limitation is that there is no control over sensitivity levels. With an external lav mic the levels are too high for the transmitter and there is some noticeable compression. I plan to run this side by side with my sennheisers and then choose the best in post.

This is perfect for amateurs

I use this microphone for shooting quick training videos for my company. This microphone is super easy to connect and use. I used the windscreen and filmed outside on a windy day and you couldn't hear the wind at all. I have had no connectivity or dropped sound issues. I would recommend this for anyone that wants easy and well priced Bluetooth microphones for DSLR cameras.

Spot on product -- simple and just works

Tried some other products, this was pricey but I wish I had bought it to start and saved myself time. This product simply works, no additional drivers (like a USB microphone), connects easily, good range, and the earphone feature for monitoring at each device means it is easy to confirm that sound is being recorded.

I use this set up to capture audio when making aikido videos. Much easier than Sennheiser lavs, and better than Sennheiser shotgun. Easier than Zoom H1 +lavs as there's no need to sync in post. My subject is free to move about and speak in his normal voice.

Pretty dang good for the price

Use it as a backup and hidden mic to other mics on indie film projects. I don't like the handling noise, but for the price, it's a great little device and worth a good look.

Works great. The little wind booty eleminates 99% of the wind noise. I have been placing it near my hummingbird feeders and it captures the hum of their wings with perfect sound. Love the folks at B&H too

Works great! Handling noise is significant though.

It does exactly what it says it should, but the handling noise is real, o just take the necessary precautions.

Used these about 4 times over the last 18 months and now the reciever just blinks red. When they did work I had a lot of audio clipping and the range was maybe 30 feet.

Great quality!!

I can't believe this works as well as it did. I do recommend getting your own 3.5 mm cable to connect to the camera; the one provided doesn't work well and keeps the sound really low.
