Glitchy distorted sound and not compatible with Osmo Gimbal
Not worth it at all despite being such a brand! Returning it!

Neat, but not so practical
Ordered this to use with my iPhone, thinking it would be easier than using one with a 3mm jack plug (doesn’t need an adapter cable.) It does fit rather neatly directly to the Lightning connector, but was rather ‘wobbly’ so unsure how well it would last. More of a problem was that it picked up background noise eg from touching the phone to operate it etc. Just moving my fingers slightly while holding the phone caused a brushing sound that was noticeable. Returned it in favour of the regular (cheaper) RODE microphone which is better, and has the other advantage of being useable on my Sony camera..

The length of the lightning connector is too short if you have a case on your phone.
The problem with this microphone (and also with others) is that, I did not want to keep taking the case off the iPhone to use the mic. This appears to be a problem with a number of microphones that use a lightning connector. My preference is to leave the protective case on the phone.

The iPhone interface snapped off
This seemed like a neat little device. However, the instructions don't make it clear that you can't play back the video with the microphone plugged in, so for a long time, I thought it was defective and spent a lot of time trying to figure out that it was really working, it just required taking the mic out to listen to the video.So after figuring that out, I'd been using it for recording videos, and then, all of a sudden, it broke after less than two weeks of use. The iPhone interface snapped off in the middle of recording a video. The microphone also dropped out of the phone several times as the fit was not snug. So I'm returning it for a refund, and will have to keep looking for the right mic, which is not proving easy.

Build quality is rubbish
Looked good at first sight. Sound would start well then it would sometimes sound like you are under water. So had to keep checking it was still working properly when filming….. very annoying.Then the bit that goes into the iPhone snapped off. Hardly any metal to hold it together, tiny bit of plastic. It needs redesigning so it’s not just holding on by the tiny bit that goes in the iPhone.When it worked properly sound was good. Not worth the money though and didn’t get to 3 months use.Amazon customer service are great sending a new one out next day as replacement. But I wouldn’t buy one of these again.

OK but not as good as a Yeti
It's small and you just plug it in to your phone and off you go, but the sound isn't much better than your iPhone. Slightly better, but not way better. I was disappointed. And for the price it's not really worth it. Better to fork out for a Yeti and plug that in to your phone (you have e to fork out another £25 for the Apple camera converter as well), because then, with a longish wire, it can be right close to you, which will always give better sound. But if you were out and about this could be in your pocket and would be better than just your phone.
