You instantly know you are in hand of a top quality product the moment you hold the box in your hand. The item is simple and very little parts to it.It comes with the microphone, wind muffler, and a battery. I'm so used to receiving products and having to purchase my own batteries this instantly was a winner for me. It fits into any dslr with the hot shoe on top and see no issue with it's fit. I have a gopro that i tend to use for all video needs but occasionally end up using the dslr for short clips if it is already in hand and that moment comes. The microphone appears to me to have a decent range. I can't say for sure if the 20 metres it claims is accurate but what i did notice is how much clearer the noise/voices were compared to without. Not had a lot of trial with it other than to test it works and a little play around but it does make a difference.One thing i will note is that in the heading it does come across as though it would be useable with the gopro hero 4...not sure how this would work with the standard jack plug when there isn't one of these on the gopro, however would maybe be a little large for that anyway so not looked into it.As an addition to my camera accessory pack it is a welcome and pleasantly surprising little item. Great product and would recommend

This is a high quality professional video microphone that sits on the top of the camera via a hot shoe. It is a great microphone for any film maker on a budget and it sounds far better that an built in camera mic.The box is very nice and from the box alone, i could tell this is a premium product. In the box you find the microphone itself and a wind filter. This microphone requires a cell battery and the great thing is that in this case, it is included. This is nice to see, as it means you can get up and running as soon as it is out of the box. To use the microphone you simply insert the battery, mount the microphone to the camera, plug the aux cable into the microphone port on your camera, turn it on and hit record - Just don't forget to turn the microphone on or you will have no audio!The microphone is very well built and fits nicely on top of the camera, it mounts to the hot shoe mount and secures with some locking nuts to keep the microphone still and secure., it is a nice size so it is sturdy. The cable is coiled cable so it is stretchy so there is no excess getting tangled, but at the same time, it will reach all camera ports so it's ideal.The sound quality of this mic is very nice, it is crisp and clear, and doesn't have any background noise.Overall, this is a great microphone for any filmmaker on a budget as it sounds better than any built in camera microphone and will improve any videos by far without breaking the bank! Amazing! very happy :)

This took my sound recording to a whole new level in my shows. Very helpful seller, who answered all of my questions & made suggestions on settings based on my needs. I received the product quickly from them, and it was packaged well, coming in a sturdy box. The actual unit is not plastic, so it's more durable than many accessories you purchase for your Digital SLR. The mic was easy to use. It reduced background noise, which is something I was needing, and the battery life isn't bad - I'm glad it doesn't waste power with a light that stays on - it lights up when you connect it to start recording, and then turns off, saving battery life - handy!I'm pretty satisfied with my results, and would recommend the product to others. I see some other reviews of people not so happy with it...I enjoy using this K&F Concept Microphone for Digital SLR Cameras &CamcordersWind Muff, Windscreen, Windjammer Camera DSLR Camera with Shotgun Shock Mount Wind Muff, Windscreen, Windjammerand Fuzzy Windscreen for Nikon/Canon Camera/DV Camcorder microphone.

Having a DSLR means you have the best imaging equipment and therefore you can take great videos but one area I have always felt that my DSLR falls down on is the microphone as it always sounds a bit tinny.With this device the sound is very crisp and clear. The microphone connects on top, requires a battery which is no problem and then connects easily with a 3.5mm jack.Audio sounds incredible but be careful when putting on the muffler.This will make your camera look very professional so beware if you are trying to do sneaky videos.

This Mike is very compatible with my canon camera. Picks up clear quality recording and sounds so professional when editing. Very nice product and good value for the money. Beside, it came quickly with no problems or damage on the product. Really nice. Recommended.

The quality is excellent especially for the price. It's made of a nice metal instead of a cheap plastic. Used it to film at the seaside where it was windy and still picked up the actors voices.There was a mishap with the order but that was not the fault of the company and they went above and beyond to fix the problem. I am very pleased with this purchase!
