### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great for vlogging!
*by S***I on 18 June 2023*

I purchased this primarily for my travel vlogging needs, and the mic works great for that. The only challenge that I face is that it doesn't lock fully on the hot shoe mount of my camera and sometimes comes off. Apart from that, the sound is very full and actually quite nice!
