Video Microphone

Small rig doesn't disappoint, very impressed with this little mic, very hot output with no battery, I like the option to add a second mic and split the channels. Good sound quality, low noise, works great on my Sony a6500. Only minor complaint is the deadcat can't go on all the way to cover the actual mic element because of where the mount goes but I moved the mount to the back of the mic to slip the deadcat on further

This, like other Smallrig products, is of exceptional quality. I tried it out with two different cameras (a Zcam cinema camera and a GoPro Hero 9) and the S20 performed admirably on both. The audio quality is excellent, and the volume level is more than acceptable. I compared it to a Rode VideoMicro, and the Smallrig easily outperforms it. If you want a high-quality mic that won't break the bank, this is the one to choose. Highly recommended! A+++

Good microphone for my set up

I was uncertain how this microphone would sound for the price, and I can honestly say I'm pleasantly surprised how almost on par it is to a more expensive one I used to own. I knew before purchasing it that it was not stereo unless you used the lav microphone, and this mic does not disappoint. I can't really give a technical critique of the sound, I just know it does what I need it to do. It's lightweight, small, and comes with a DeadCat - you have to purchase separate with other brands. I highly recommend purchasing this microphone if you are in the market for one, don't let the price throw you off, you are getting a quality product. I plan on purchasing another one to record stereo.

******Update Small Rig contacted me and sent me a new microphone. Let's see how it goes. Great customer service. ****Poor quality. Bought it back in October 2024. Used it a few times and the input connection is loose and it doesn't pick up an audio whatsoever. Disappointed.

This cut lil guy just does not record sound. I have decades of experience as a filmmaker so this isn't a case of not understanding the equipment- this mic simply does not work. I must have got a lemon. I bought my 10yo daughter a digital camera for Christmas and this cut little mic to go with it, but sadly it's going back to the MFG. Just to make sure I wasn't crazy I plugged in my professional Sennheiser shotgun mic into her camera and as expected the sound came in loud and clear. With the Small rig I'm just getting a flat line and boosting the levels has no effect. Bummer. I would also add, for anyone still reading- don't buy into this two microphone gimmick. I didn't even realize this thing came with a second lav-style mic, but the cord for it is too short for a lav and they're trying to market it as a "second mic for stereo." Trust me, that's total BS, unless you absolutely have to separately mic two things that are three feet apart this is just marketing nonsense. (I kind of like Smallrig as a brand too, but they lost points for this big fail.)

This mic is amazing, it gives clear and crisp sound. I love that it comes with a mic you can attach to your chest as well.

This is a back-up for me. I’ve used to it in an emergency and it was adequate for my needs on a day where absolutely professional sound quality was not a requirement. If you have a podcast or YouTube channel this is beyond adequate and only audiophiles and sound snobs would have criticisms. Don’t get me wrong, in the scheme of things it’s a pretty low quality bit of gear but the sound quality is superior to any in-camera sound options.

This actually represents a good value for the money. The mike itself works pretty well considering the price point. I need to do more testing to compare to my other mikes but the initial testing I've done, shows that it is not too shabby :-) For something vlogging, it works very well. When pointing towards say for an interview, as long as you are within a few feet its fine. It has a few things that make a good value. The ability to go stereo by adding a second mike. A switch to go between mono and stereo. It comes with an extra lapel mike. There's a dead cat cover as well as a standard winsock. Sound quality/voice quality is not as good as my Rode (from Nikon's Creator kit) but right in there. I'm not disappointed with this unit in the least.

Suena muy bien para el precio y la entrada para lavalier es una muy buena adición

Good quality, sounds good, would've been good if they included a dead cat for the lapel mic instead of just 2 of the same mesh screens

Pretty decent little mic. Not bad at all! I use it on a Sony camcorder without any issues.

There isn't really to much to say on this. It works, and I would be happy to buy this again. I have a more expensive mic of the same type and this performs just as good as the expensive one
