Top sound, poor packaging
I used this with a Canon 5DmII, on a 3 weeks trip in Africa. Rough trip with dust, bumpy roads.
Sound: 5/5. Amazed by the sound quality. I had a backup wireless lapel microphone, I did not have to use it as from 10 meters away I could get very good voice separation/ capture. With strong wind I had to use a lapel wireless mic, as expected/planned.
Mounting 2/5: the mounting on the flash socket is fine, the mounting to the microphone stand broke easily just by hitting a branch, and the microphone now pivits around on the mouting... Fixed with duct tape.
Sound isolation elastic mounting 2/5: I did not hear any camera noise (focus, clicks,...) so the rubber band system is working well... except rubber bands cracked one after the other, at the first shock. Fixed with generic elastic rubber bands
Altough I am using this item in rouch conditions, I was expecring a more robust mounting and rubber bands... in the field, such weak points are an unwanted drag. If you want to travel rough with this item, take spare elasting rubber-bands and duct tape along!
Rode did not desapoint me in sound quality, but it did in mounting robustness.
