I am pleasantly surprised, good quality for little money, incomparably better than when using an internal microphone, because it dampens the wind and all unwanted noise well, since it is a directional mono microphone. Small, compact, ideal for hiking, because that's why I bought it so that it would take up as little space as possible in my backpack and that it wouldn't scare others, especially complete strangers, with its size. For family events, I have another incomparably larger microphone, also of this brand, which also has its own amplifier and can be switched to stereo mode.
