Built-in camera audio is one of the biggest weak points in video production. Whether you're shooting YouTube content, short films, interviews, or event coverage, the tiny microphones inside DSLR and mirrorless cameras pick up everything — room noise, camera handling sounds, and background chatter — making your footage sound unprofessional. This on-camera shotgun microphone is designed for videographers, content creators, and filmmakers who need a fast, reliable audio upgrade without a complex setup.
The microphone features a compact shotgun-style body with a directional cardioid or supercardioid pickup pattern, a furry dead cat windscreen for outdoor use, and a standard cold shoe mount that slides directly onto your camera's hot shoe. Connection is via a 3.5mm audio cable (included), making it plug-and-play with most DSLR and mirrorless cameras. No batteries or phantom power are required in most configurations — power is drawn from the camera's mic jack. Available in black; see variant options for specific sensitivity ratings and package contents.
A practical choice for on-camera shotgun microphone setups for YouTube vlogging, run-and-gun documentary shooting, and interview-style video production. Also works well as a compact DSLR microphone for travel filmmakers who need better audio without adding bulk to their kit.

This is a directional (cardioid or supercardioid) shotgun microphone, meaning it primarily captures audio from the front while rejecting ambient noise from the sides and rear. This makes it well-suited for interviews, vlogging, and video production where you want to isolate your subject's voice from background noise.
Yes, this microphone typically includes both a foam windscreen and a furry dead cat windscreen to reduce wind noise during outdoor recording. See variant options or contact us to confirm exactly what is included in the package.
Generally, yes. The included windscreen helps reduce wind noise for outdoor use. However, this microphone is not weatherproof or waterproof, so we recommend avoiding use in heavy rain or extremely dusty environments to protect the capsule.
In most cases, yes — as long as your device has a standard 3.5mm TRRS or TRS microphone input. Compatibility with smartphones may require a TRRS adapter. For dedicated audio recorders (e.g., Zoom H-series), a TRS connection is typically sufficient. Contact us if you need help confirming compatibility with your specific device.
