These mics are good – BUT - it depends on the environment you will be using them in. The reason for a four star and not a five is this. I’m a retired Network Photojournalist of almost 40 years. I was searching for something that would not break the bank but has good quality. Today I’m producing short marketing videos inside and outdoors. Inside, for the money these are some of the best mics around! I would say they have about the same quality as the thousand-dollar mics I used shooting news. You can hide the lav mic easily and the sound quality is still good. Outside you will need to hide it really good from the wind. Even with the sock on you will still catch some wind. The overall quality of the sound is very good. I traded in my big camera for an IPhone 12 pro max. Once you learn how to balance the phone with the attached receiver on your gimble it is a good combination. Overall these are good mics and well worth the price!
