Maonocaster AU-100 Condenser Clip On Lavalier Microphone With Audio Cable - Black

The only good thing with this mic is the sound. Used on my Canon R6 and after about 6 months of use, the mic makes works one minute and not the next.When the battery runs out it is so hard to remove the battery, you need a sharp-pointed nail, knife or anything that will fit. When miles out in the middle of the countryside on a hike and the battery dies it becomes tricky and far worse in freezing cold conditions when you can't feel your fingers! No thought whatsoever went into the design as stated.

So far excellent results and much much better than the Boya version of this which I bought and had to return. The construction is very similar to the Boya, including the badly designed battery compartment. It is VERY difficult to get the battery out.I fitted the foam cover and clip and tested it clipped to my clothing. I have used it with both smartphone and a video camera and the sound was clear and full range without any noticeable muffling. I can't say how low the hiss levels are absolutely, but they were very low and not something that stood out at all.Overall very pleased to have paid that little bit more for this over the similar Boya.

I bought this to record audio with my Atomos Ninja V, I needed an active or powered microphone.The Maono AU-100 gives reasonable loud clear audio but when no one is speaking their is some constant electrical noise in the background. I'm not sure the wiring is electronically protected fromqoutside interference.I don't get this with the the same equipment if I use my wireless mics so I am sure its the lapel microphone.Maybe they are just too cheap for the job, it's a shame because they are nicely made and presented.I probably couldn't use them on a pro job.

The mic performs very well. Just wish there was some kind of indicator that told you battery life. That's​ the only real issue I have. Other than that the audio quality is good. Works very well. It does come with a crazy amount of cable. So be aware.

Product is excellent. Could do with a way of keeping the microphone cover on better but other than that, it works well with my iPhone SE. Huge cord length so you can stand well away from camera if needed. The customer service from this company has been first class. I had a small problem with original order. I contacted them and they immediately offered to replace the item. They kept in contact with me throughout the discussions and were never less than helpful. Super impressed. If only other sellers were like this. You can buy with complete confidence from this company.
